    Very nice!

    To have the APA understand that you can leave homosexuality , because its a behaviour and behaviour can be modified and with routine habitual modification even changed completely, is momentous, superb!
    I went to narth to see what they had to say and it too was quite encouraging and here is a small quote:
    In What Research Shows, we offer a landscape review of more than one hundred years of experiential evidence, clinical studies, and research studies that demonstrate that it is possible for men and women to diminish their unwanted homosexual attractions and develop their heterosexual potential; that efforts to change unwanted homosexual attractions are not generally harmful; and that homosexual men and women do indeed have substantially greater experiences of and risk factors for medical, psychological and relational pathology than do the general population. Based on our review of 600 reports of clinicians, researchers, and former clients—primarily from professional and peer-reviewed scientific journals, we conclude that reorientation treatment has been helpful to many and should continue to be available to those who seek it. Further, mental health professionals competent to provide such care ethically may do so.
    Can you hear the angels singing?
