And if this doesn't work, there's always exorcism

CNN aired a piece yesterday on reparative therapy. This purports to be a process through which gays and lesbians become ex-gays and ex-lesbians. Most psychiatrists and psychologists believe it is ineffectual at best and destructive at worst. But it is among the straws most frequently grasped at by those who insist that homosexuality is "curable."

Have a look and draw your own conclusions about the intellectual credibility of this position.
