Yeah. So. Remember when you read all about the detrimental social and mental effects of those churchy homo-reform groups on the brainwashed shamed gay X-tians it “saves”? Remember when we read about the psychological disturbance caused by these type of programs, that supposedly could institutionalize the gay right outta ya?

According to a completely unbiased study done by People Can Change (a nonprofit and nonreligious organization that offers training, healing, and support for men with unwanted same-sex feelings), The Christian Post reports “that nine out of 10 men who participated in a weekend program reported a decrease in distress, shame, and self-condemnation. They also felt better about themselves.“

Well, how about that?
