Homosexuality: not a choice
During the US president George Bush’s term of office, the clock was turned back in Christian America. An ‘ex-gay movement’ arose that considers homosexuality a disease that can be cured.
Hundreds of clinics and therapists work in this field, and it is claimed, without proof, that 30 percent of those who underwent therapy were ‘healed’. In the clinics people can be treated for two weeks for 2,500 US dollars and for six weeks for 6,000 dollars. The therapists are mostly ‘former homosexuals’, who say that after a course of therapy they became real family men. A counter-movement ‘It is OK to be Gay’ points out that the therapies are based on a conditioning of the shame, stigmatisation and discrimination of homosexuals. Suicides are the result.
