[QUOTE="debeguiled, post: 1116768, member: 7867"] Whether or not this works, or is legitimate, we all know it will be demonized in the popular media. I have watched a lot of Youtube videos featuring Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, one of the more prominent practitioners of this type of therapy (he calls it reparative therapy.) He just died this year. In fact, the most popular video of Nicolosi is a segment from a Stephen Fry show where gay man Fry mocks him. [MEDIA=youtube]WnBBqYFGKB8[/MEDIA] Nicolosi believes gayness comes from some sort of trauma in childhood related to a distant father and an over involved mother. He explains this to Fry who at first denies it and then later admits his dad was cold and distant. Nicolosi makes a persuasive argument for his practice, and here is an interview with him discussing it: [MEDIA=youtube]z_GLo3hD964[/MEDIA] I was raised in an environment with a lot of gays that was very positive towards them. I remember telling my mom when I was like 12 that I thought there was something weird about gayness, and she immediately shamed me out of it, telling me that a local shop owner, who she knew I thought was a cool person, was gay and that I was being judgmental about him. Pretty heavy mindfuck for a young mind. Gayness is a question that each person has to work out for themselves. It is not trivial, because so much of gay culture is being pushed on us, and even now there is a big legal push to enforce the celebration of homosexuality. I find interviews about this subject, particularly the Nicolosi ones, to be a good antidote to the unthinking acceptance of gaiety that is being pushed on us. Not sure what I think yet, but it is good to have voices pushing against the dominant opinion, to expand what thoughts are acceptable. [/QUOTE]
