Bethel Launches Ex-Gay Ministries

One person’s story doesn’t undo decades of research

Decades of research done with the purpose of obtaining the desired result, normalizing homosexuality. When impartial studies are done conversion therapy has been proven to be tremendously efficacious with no negative side effects.

A survey asking for negative and positive experiences of 125 men with active lay religious belief who went through sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) strongly conflicted with those claims. In our study, most of those who participated in group or professional help had heterosexual shifts in sexual attraction, sexual identity and behavior with large statistical effect sizes, similarly moderate-to-marked decreases in suicidality, depression, substance abuse, and increases in social functioning and self-esteem. Almost all harmful effects were none to slight. Prevalence of help or hindrance, and effect size, were comparable with those for conventional psychotherapy for unrelated mental health issues.

The truth is homosexuality can be cured but the academics who study the issue swing heavily left wing and don't publish results that conflict with the story they want to create.
