Reparative Therapy bans based on bad science
Christopher Doyle, a licensed clinical professional counselor and co-coordinator of the National Task Force for Therapy Equality said the Rhode Island bill is only the latest example of a liberal state using “bad science” to curtail people’s right to seek treatment.
That includes the “born gay” myth, he said. Doyle is a former homosexual who himself practices “Reparative Therapy” to help people manage and overcome unwanted same-sex attractions.
“While these gay activists cite ‘potential harm’ for therapy, they fail to include science from the American Psychological Association's 2014 Handbook on Sexuality and Psychology that says sexual orientation changes throughout the lifespan, with or without therapeutic intervention, for a multitude of individuals!“
Doyle notes that “Dr. Lisa Diamond, a lesbian herself who is a co-author of the APA Handbook, has told gay activists to stop saying ‘people are born gay’ because her own research actually shows that the majority of both men and women who experience homosexual feelings also have some level of heterosexual feelings, and that their attractions may change.”
