From Pam's House Blend: "Wayne Besen of the educational organization Truth Wins Out, which challenges the "ex-gay" machine's assertions that one can pray-away-the-gay, has released a series of videos that show just how delusional and harmful such programs as Exodus International can be.
In this clip, former major league baseball player and out gay man Billy Bean, discusses the fantasy of the 'ex-gay' movement that forcing gay men to play sports 'to butch up' is therapy that brings inner heterosexuality to the surface.
While that kind of batshittery can easily be dismissed, the psychological damage caused by reparative therapy to men and and women struggling to come to terms with the fact that they are gay is horrifying."
