The Supposed Evils of “Conversion Therapy”
by Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine:
Homosexual advocates like Eve Tushnet, Fr. James Martin, and Kirsten Powers do not like what they derisively call “conversion therapy.”
They use the phrase to conjure up such horrors as boys strapped to tables being shown gay porn and getting electrical shocks. They use it to conjure up what they call “praying away the gay,” prison-like camps where boys are forced by unscrupulous religious hucksters to ask Jesus to make them “straight.”
Tushnet says the only purpose of “conversion therapy” is to turn “gays” into “straights” and that any attempt is unachievable, and even the attempt leads often to suicide. Tushnet has been plumping of late for her new book, out in November, called Tenderness: A Gay Christian’s Guide to Unlearning Rejection and Experiencing God’s Extravagant Love, which will be about how mean the Church is to the same-sex attracted and how mean Catholics can be.
She says “homophobia” is rampant, and by “homophobia” she means things like “not listening.” Have you ever noticed how it is impossible not to listen to “gays” and their issues? What she really means is not “not listening,” but rather, not agreeing. Not agreeing with her is “homophobia.”
