I know nothing of them, but would assume that the people who went their did not want to be gay. If people went to exodus international looking for help to 'not be gay' then are the people who went there evil people as well? Should they appologise for wanting to be straight? What of the people who were truly sucessfully converted? Should they be forced to be gay again so they can be true to their... "genes" or "how they were born?'
The point being despite how the comunity feels about one group or another if said group was active in the comunity for "37 years" then there are those who activly sought out the service that group provided. Now the question should be, what happens to those people?
There are other groups out there like it. If adults want that kind of therapy, they will find it.
I think the problem that most people have is that it was, at one point, forced upon teenagers by their parents.
From what I read the biggest grip with this group was that they championed the idea that being gay was a choice and that they coined the phrase "pray the gay away." Their focus was on adult men in the church with families. They even were trying to reach out to Uganda.
