APA to members: Don't tell a gay person they can change.

Well, fucking apparently, some are going to psychologists to do just that, otherwise they'd kept their mouths shut and this article would never have been written. So apparently there is a need.

 

You seem awful angry about this. Are you seeing a psychologist?

 

Then rephrase the question: Why SHOULD there be a need?

 

No, I'm yet amazed once again at the closemindedness of people who speak in absolutes.

 

Because there are no absolutes.

 

Who knew the opinion of a day trader and a former Florida State football star could cause such a stir?

 

Those aren't Teh Gayz. Those are Teh Bisexsuals.

 

I'd much rather think that gay people need to be turned ungay.

 

Someone gets it!

 

You're not telling the psychologist to force them into change. But in going through therapy with a person struggling with that, they go to their childhood during therapy. If something occurred there that shaped them into the person they are and by breaking all that down and restructuring it the person finds themselves with a new sense of who they are, it MIGHT be that their sexual orientation was shaped by the old and tossed out with the new. Perhaps, even, that could be going from STRAIGHT to gay over that process AS WELL.

 

Well, Scribe, for one.
