Schwulenheilung durch Aversionstherapie

Diese Therapien bringen nichts.

Eines Mannes Rede ist keines Mannes Rede. Man muß sie hören alle beede.
Ich werde morgen eine Anfrage nach Amerika (zum Beispiel an die genannte Brigham Young Universität) senden, mit der Bitte um Auskunft

Dann frag sie auch gleich nach den "Hexenjagden" gegen Schwule an der BYU:

Ich zitiere daraus:

This dramatic increase in identified Gays and Lesbians spurred the BYU administration to begin what is often referred to by Gay Mormons as the "Witch Hunts of '68". Authorities were convinced that a large "homosexual ring" was located on campus. Extensive security files were kept on students suspected of homosexuality, and all new prospective teachers had to be interviewed by a general authority before being offered a position at BYU.
As part of the Witch Hunts of '68, a hairstylist and BYU student named Frank Holley was suspended from BYU on June 1, because of "a security report indicating that he was a homosexual". Five days later, Holley was sent a letter "informing him that he would be restricted from the BYU campus at all times" unless he receive permission from the Dean of Students or the chairman of the University Standards Office.
Holley set up an appointment with apostle Spencer Kimball to gain clearance to return to BYU. During their meeting, Holley denied being "homosexually inclined" but claimed that he could supply Kimball with a list of a hundred students and faculty who were homosexual. When Holley refused to give Kimball such a list, Kimball refused to allow Holley to return to BYU. (...)
One former Gay BYU student referred to only as LML reported to a newspaper that in 1968, he was coerced into turning over names of other Gays at BYU to the church administration in order to help absolve him of his "sins". A week later, the same newspaper received a letter to the editor by one of the people whom LML had turned in, confirming the story in a very dramatic and emotional manner.[9]
In January 1969, the Board of Trustees decided that "homosexual students would not be admitted or retained at BYU without approval from the General Authorities". This differs from the earlier policy of "no homos" in that exceptions could now be made with approval from the church authorities.
In 1971, Ernest Wilkinson resigned from the BYU presidency so that he could run for the US Senate (an election he lost) and another lawyer, Dallin H. Oaks became the new president of BYU. One year after his appointment to the presidency, Oaks brought the issue of homosexuality to the Board of Trustees for further discussion. Specifically, Oaks wanted to know:

Specifically, Oaks wanted to know what to do with students or school personnel who were not "overtly" homosexual. (...)
In January 1975, BYU administration decided to begin another purge of Queer people on campus. The first target of the purge was the Drama Department. Dave, a former BYU drama student, described the purge as happening "within a matter of days and nobody expected it." Dave described how on the first day of the purge, "there were Security officers with walky-talkies on every level of the [Harris Fine Arts Center]".[16] According to Jon, another former BYU student who was caught in the purge, security officers removed all male drama and ballet students from their classes to interrogate them in the halls for the names of any Gays they knew. Once names were recorded, those people were interrogated and so on until as many Gay men were caught in the "dragnet" as possible. Joseph Morrow, the aforementioned BYU security guard, also confirmed in an interview in February 1975 that "the security force is currently having a crack down on students they suspect of homosexual behavior" and described the mass interrogations at the Fine Arts Center.
Jon also claimed that "scores of students working undercover for Security" entrapped Gay men in bathroom stalls by initiating foot-tapping codes and passing notes between stalls, luring Gay men to describe sexual acts they wished to perform.
Despite the serious consequences of the purge of '75, many Gays took it all in stride and even responded with humor at times. For example, Dave reported that several students in the Drama department thought "it was all a joke" and even went to the BYU Bookstore to have t-shirts printed up reading "I'm on the List - are you?" Dave claimed that "being that blatent [sic] helped people to look at the problem realistically".
Others however, found no humor in this situation at all. The October 1975 issue of the Advocate, carried an article by Robert McQueen about the Mormon Church and homosexuality. McQueen, a former Mormon would later become the editor in chief and then chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Advocate until his death from AIDS in 1989. In this 1975 article, McQueen reported that five Gay men he had known at BYU had gotten caught in the Purge of '75, were coerced into therapy, expelled from BYU, outed by church officials, and then excommunicated. Rather than face the bigotry of family, friends, church, and state, each one committed suicide.[17] Another man who was caught in that purge remembers that a BYU professor shot and killed himself that year after being entrapped at a local off campus restroom.[18]

Wirklich "nette" Leute! Und vor allem, so "christlich"!!!!
