Church program aims to rid gay men of same-sex attraction

Sacramento Bee:

The group gathers weekly, but not to discuss their struggle to overcome addictions to alcohol, drugs or gambling.

The group’s stated purpose is to rid themselves of unwanted same-sex temptations. There are about 200 similar groups in the United States.

The assumption of these men is that if they can work through a childhood issue that they believe led them to being attracted to other men, they will be able to live as heterosexuals.
