American Psychological Association says Ted Haggard Still Gay
The APA reports that therapies designed to change sexual orientation simply don’t work. That means Ted Haggard is still gay and living a lie.

1. You are going to let the APA decide your sexual preference?

3. I don't think the APA is making decisions about an individual's preferences
it's saying preference can't be changed - perhaps they're trying to encourage acceptance of that.

4. Read the damn article
The APA is saying it's a complete waste of time at best and damaging at worst to try and change someone's sexual orientation. The success rate is zero in studies with valid methodology (most are flawed).

If there is a conflict between sexual orientation and religion, pick one.
