In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes

At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

His whole comment about homosexuality being for the young and that being the reason behind his change (at least that was the allusion he gave) was just weird and way off. Aren’t we seeing studies our recently that point to our elders getting it on well into their old age? Hmmmm…

Yes I agree. The ‘I ain’t cute and young anymore so I better grab a woman who I can look old ‘n wrinkled in my old age’ sermon from evangelical Exodus exgay president and Author Alan Chanmbers, is quite humorous. To add to the laughing hyena side show, he side step when asked if he still had same sex attraction; glided right over it like a skateing lube container at the Ice Capades. This is known as the Freudian ‘YES!’.
The religious right are such professionals at shooting themselves in their own feet that I am wondering why they even have any toes left. But then maybe they don’t. With cheshire cat glee, I’m watching the media vanquish religion as we knew it, while saving lives and self esteem, due to hocus pocus biblical absurdity kicking and screaming it’s way to the forefront.
I can only hope that the media keeps moving forward with it’s jack hammer double punch knock outs at flagrant religous cocky pop, or poppy cock, your choice. This is one side show very nuch worth a suck.

Mr. Graves reminds me more of a politician or a used car salesman than a therapist. There’s just something smarmy about the way he sidesteps questions and phrases things.
This is bullshit

FYI Jayson Graves is based out of Colorado and is affiliated with Exodus- He’s also an Unlicensed Psychotherapist – see for yourself https://www.doradls.state.co.us/alison.php
