Quoted in an April 11 American Prospect article, Dr. Robert Spitzer repudiated his infamous 2001 study that claimed some people can change from gay to straight.

The revelations are a huge blow to the ex-gay movement, according to Wayne Besen of the group Truth Wins Out: "Dr. Spitzer's repudiation of his 2001 study is an earthquake that severely undermines the validity of 'ex-gay' programs." Besen took Spitzer's study to task in his 2003 book, Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth. "Spitzer just kicked out the final leg from the stool on which the proponents of 'ex-gay' therapy based their already shaky claims of success."

At last some sanity.

Despite this retraction some are still trying to sell the repairative therapy hoax.

Being gay is a feeling people have that I believe they are entitled to feel.

Gay is gay is gay, you are or you're not.

Gay is gay is gay, you are or you're not.

Or you're just not sure.

Remember Metro here and the "go to hell Obama" ad? This is why it's a good thing we believe in free speech in this country, despite liberals like the antisemite Jim Moran throwing a mincing hissy fit because he hates the first amendment.
