It's not a "lifestyle", it is an orientation, and gay people lead lives. 2. If it requires virtual imprisonment in a facility with draconian rules, countless hours of expensive "therapy" that belittles the participants, and an overall philosophy that says "if you don't change to fit our mold you're sick/evil/perverted" then it's not *help*. Have you ever noticed there are no programs trying to "convert" heterosexuals? Have you ever asked yourself why? Maybe you should ask the bigots. AgentSoapBox,

I was a client at LIA and I'm sad to see him go. He did so much for homosexuals. not everyone is happy in the lifestyle and some need a way out. John was a great guy.

I was following the story closely when it first broke, but it seemed to go dead. His MySpace blog was taken offline not long afterwards, but it wasn't clear if that was his decision or his parents'.
