Maybe I am reading wrong but the therapists were asked by the patients to help reduce their attraction to the same sex. What is wrong with trying to help with the patients wishes?

More likely adolescents being dropped of for reprogramming by parents. It's fairly repugnant. In the event that an adult made such a request, the responsible and professional response would be to try to help the patients come to grips with themselves, rather than feed their delusion that some sort of therapy/brainwashing will cause them to decide to like the opposite sex.

I think you are making assumptions about who is asking for treatment and under what circumstances. You may not want or need help...You may be comfortable in your skin... but they may not be. The fact that they desire help may mean they are somewhere in the center and could go either way or both.

There is nothing wrong with asking for help in the direction they want to go. Who is the God who said if you have a gay thought you must be exclusively gay. Or the other way if you are gay and have a thought of hetro sex who says you must be straight.

I say try all the options you want...If it helps fine and if not then get help on how to come to grips with your sexuality if you need it.

A qualified mental health pro (in my opinion a therapist does not count) would not go along with whatever halfcocked hair brained idea that a patient suggests. Since "degayifing" people is impossible, they are just chugging along with the patients request, in order to make money. If they were so stupid as to really believe that you can change ones sexual orientation, they should lose whatever "license" they got from whatever Cracker Jacks box or "college".

The same would apply if the patient wanted to be another race, or taller, or a cow or any other idea. Its the responsibility of the pro to state what is and what is not feasible. :)

You are assuming you know all the answers, problems, wants and needs of each of these individual patients...and on top of that you have a degree that qualifies your assumptions.

I’m not so sure I know all the answers. And pretty sure you don't either

Dear Jack Hammer,

Your appearance on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" has been move up in the schedule. The new metro-sexual-studly-you will be ready to be unwrapped and shared with the world before the spring mating season starts in earnest.

This one time, they made me dress up in polyester golf shirts with tube socks and gladiator sandals, then tied me to a John Deer tractor and forced me to take the Cleveland Heterosexual Obstacle Course For The Inadvertently Man-dicapped.

However, I just kept carving large penises in the otherwise rugged terrain, so they caved and bought me a do-it-yourself Clone Your Willy And Create A Dildo molding set in hopes self satisfaction would rid society of my evil, repugnant desires.

I invited them to join me in the application process of saving their penis for prosperity. However, I substituted concrete for the silicone, and needless to say, they are all now rock hard. Gotta have a sense of humor in a world lacking civility.

Fabulous, I think I'll wear my Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane Camouflage Sandals from the Spring Collection.
Available for mere pennies at Neiman Marcus. A smart and sassy ensemble including, but not limited to,
a military regulation ACU shirt, government spec FQ/PD04-04A 50/50 nylon-cotton ripstop with integrated
blouse bellows for increased upper body mobility. Exquisitely pressed and creased, following a masculine
yet shy line as they are tucked oh so manly into ACU government spec, permanent press, wrinkle resistant
army combat trousers. Easy access slanted cargo pockets for a quick grab and puff on one of those Camels
during a hot oasis night. Or whatever a boy might grab in there. A spectacular bonus of the ever popular
knee pocket for knee pad insert when performing maintenance on those pipes. Handy tool belt included.

Normally I'd let do with the standard issue ACU Uniform Boonie Hat, but this madcap season it is all about
the mix and match. All together now, "Yes We Can". Soooooooooo I'm opting for that good ol' stand by and
stand up for musky, manly men all across this glorious little globe of ours. Yes ladies and germs, and no squeeling
here, the wide brim, flared flap, cross stitched, one of a million, Catapillar Heavy Equipment Cap. Settle down now,
settle down and grab a hanky. Yes, the hanky is back, wave em' high, wave em' proud, "We're here to blow and
we want you to know". Woot Woot. Can I get a grunt? No, not that grunt, the one with the stars in his eyes.
