Ex-Gays: Groups
Those groups that claim to be able to "cure"
homosexuality
Courage
A Catholic-based organization which mission is to "provide spiritual
support for men and women striving to live chaste lives in accordance with the
Catholic Church's pastoral teaching on homosexuality."
Deliver
Ministries
Delivery Ministries offers "freedom from homosexuality" based upon the
simplistic and out-of-context premise "You shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free"
Exodus
Home site for Exodus International, perhaps the best known of the organizations
which claim to be able to "cure" gays and lesbians of their
homosexuality.
Free
to Be
A truly frightening site because it takes a lovely concept and pretty pictures
and creates an atmosphere which "kindly" attempts to lead, by
misleading, questioning youth away from what very well may be their natural
orientation.
Homosexuals
Anonymous
This "change" group has a 14 Step program which "cures"
based upon its basic premise "that the root causes of homosexuality are
spiritual, intra-psychic and relational."
JONAH
It was bound to happen. JONAH is "Jews Offering New Alternatives to
Homosexuality." So far as I know, the first of its kind (a Jewish gay
reparative ministry). Don't forget to read our other Jewish resources as this
site seems to misstate a great deal of modern (and not so modern) Jewish thought
and position.
Parents
& Friends of Ex-Gays
PFOX states that it is "a national Christ-Centered network of parents,
friends and family of loved ones struggling with homosexuality."
Transforming
Congregations
They describe themselves as "The Mission of Transforming Congregations is
to provide information, resources and training in understanding and involvement
in transforming ministry toward homosexuals, and to encourage transforming
ministry based on loving compassion, scripture, and The Discipline of the United
Methodist Church."
