and let's not go there on the APA...i'm straight and that smelled like bullshit the first time i heard of "reparative therapy"

but then again, i'm from new orleans. :-)

Gank away, I certainly did.

The APA hasn't recommended the therapy, at least not that I can find in their database, but they haven't outright condemned it, either. Here's hoping they will.

I've only spoken to one MFT who uses it, and he was a militant fundy.

WOOT!
I am sure the religious right will raise hell about it and I hope the APA stands up and doesn't buckle to the pressure.

The APA didn't grow any balls... they just formed a committee. Who will issue a report. In a few years. And everyone who has a strong opinion on the subject will probably ignore it.

Kind of like the Report on the Sexualization of Girls and Young Women
