Today's gala pseudo-science and wing nuttery showcase

James Dobson's Focus on the Family has latched onto a decidedly unscientific study that purports to prove that one can change one's sexual orientation through religious meditation. The claims are contained in a book entitled Ex—Gays? A Longitudinal Study of Religiously Mediated Change in Sexual Orientation by two researchers from Christian institutions. According to the "study" a whopping 67% of participants experienced "a change toward heterosexual orientation or ... successfully continuing to work towards that goal". Truly amazing.

I hope that Focus on the Family realise that, in believing that "science" can be used to straighten out these long suffering perverts, they are keeping illustrious company.

An admonition for US Senator Larry Craig (Still Not Gay - ID). I do not want to find out that you have utilised these techniques to make yourself gay. OK? You need to remain firmly in the "no now nor ever have been gay" camp without actually becoming camp.
