Report: Gay Prevention Programs Harm Teens
By LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ
MIAMI – A national gay and lesbian group is accusing several religious organizations of harming homosexual teens by offering parents what they say are bogus therapies to keep children from becoming gay.
In a report released Thursday in Miami Beach, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute questioned whether the therapies are ethical or effective and said state and federal authorities should provide greater oversight when these programs are aimed at youth.
The report said some Christian-based gay prevention and treatment groups have used the First Amendment protection of religion to avoid sanctions by state health officials seeking to enforce regulations on counselors who offer therapy without a license.</i>
There are so many things to say about the sort of homophobic, intolerant, envious jealously that must drive parents to attempt to ruin their childrens lives, but I’ll leave that to my more learned cohort DMH.
