A significant number of DREADNOUGHTERS, certainly many more than speak in favour, have spoken against “reparative therapy”, and allied “ex-gay” approaches. Indeed, only two DREADNOUGHTERS out of thousands have ever recommended the treatment. Against their, to be frank, fairly unconvincing – and at times deeply uncharitable - testimony, DREADNOUGHT must set all of the other voices. Many of these have been compelling. One young woman, and two young men told me of their particular suffering after the "reparative therapy", recounting experiences so disturbing and so extreme that they eventually attempted suicide. |
