"The widely discredited practice ― reported to include methods like electroshock therapy aimed at “curing” patients of same-sex attraction ― is now banned in at least 11 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. Still, a report in January estimated that 698,000 LGBTQ Americans between ages 18 and 59 have undergone conversion therapy."

No matter what, I'll be making sure I see it even if I have to buy it. I'll have to buy the book, too.

cl2, have you read Connell O'Donovon's dissertation on Gaity in la iglesia mormona?

His home page probably has stuff that is new to you. He is quite the researcher and writer.

This issue was one of my ah-ha moments. There was no way in hell this is a true religion if they participated in this. I am still shocked at all the WRONG answers they had for gays and still do.

I think this is BIG. I wish I didn't have to wait to see it, but I've bought the book off Amazon now.

This one looks like it will be a tear-jerker. I don't think I have seen that young man before, but Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman usually know how to deliver top-notch performances, so I imagine that it will be worth seeing.

You know God is behind something when he keeps changing his mind and "experimenting" with different methods.

First, the Church just excommunicated gays (never Lesbians).

Second, they tried electroshock therapy.

Third, they asked bishops to "hook up" the most attractive single young women in their Wards with gay men (the theory being young men become 'gay' if they can't find a sexy woman to marry).

Fourth, they tried 12 Step program like Evergreen.

Fifth, they throw up their hands and say "Just leave the Church, and we'll leave you alone."

And the bishops had no problem with this. However, isn't it
interesting that the bishops would never choose their own
daughters to hook the gay guys up with.
