There is some logic in this. Having sex with a self-loathing closeted gay man might convince some to swear off gay sex forever, In the medical literature this is known as the Marcus Bachmann cure.

Since homosexuality is no longer considered a mental illness can not these quacks have their licences revoked by the proper government authorities? It might not stop them from their quackery but it would deny them any legitimacy and make it easier for their patients to bring lawsuits.

From the headline of the article:

Dr. Melvyn Iscove's licence was suspended after he was found guilty by Ontario’s medical regulator.

Right, thanks! But I was thinking in general about all those who try to "cure" homosexuality.

I thought you were going to say the sin was "cynicism", with me as the prime example!
