CNN runs a must-watch segment on quacks who claim to cure people of their homosexuality. (One method: smashing a pillow with a tennis racket while screaming your mother’s name.)


AMERICAblog:

Oh man, you really really really have to see this CNN report on these quacks who claim they can “cure” away the gay. This is the video you need to download and show to anyone who ever brings up these wackjobs ever again.

My favorite parts:

1. Where the gay guy in “therapy” says that the reason he turned gay is that he had “emotional incest” with his mom. Uh huh.

2. The wacky “ex-gay ‘therapist'” showing that one way to cure yourself is to take a tennis racket and beat the crap out of a pillow while screaming your mother’s name (it’s totally freaky). This will help you release “hidden memories in your muscles.” Yes, your muscles store memories that make you gay. And don’t forget, this “therapist” is pretty much the top guy in this “field.” He’s one of their “best.”
