The Truth About "Ex-Gay" Ministries

Myths and deliberate misinformation are the trademark of the so-called "ex-gay" movement. Despite overwhelming rejection of "reparative" therapies by every legitimate professional health care association, some individuals and organizations seek to "convert" LGBT people into becoming heterosexual; efforts that are not only futile, but harmful.

The best way to help members of our community from becoming victims of "ex-gay" organizations is to lear about and effectively counter their agenda and damaging message.
