If prayer worked this way, and homosexuality were actually a “disease”, then why don’t these imbeciles cure cancer instead? Or Juvenile Diabetes?

I. Fucking. Despise. These. People.

That’s putting it mildly.

Being gay isn’t a disease. There’s nothing to cure. All this “pray away the gay” shit does is harm already vulnerable people and consume them with self-loathing when they don’t have a reason to hate themselves.

I think the sexual insecurity and self-loathing comes into play more with the so-called “healers” than it does with the allegedly sick.

Are the Log Cabin Republicans on some list somewhere as the most clueless political group of all time?

Harm and self-loathing are a feature, not a bug.

Not kidding at all—

The particular brand of “Christian counseling” that Bachmann et al are into doesn’t differentiate between an actual program of behavior modification and the administration of social punishment for inappropriate behavior…nor do they care to. In the case of “pray the gay away” the administered protocol has a little bit of b-mod in the form of rehearsals and affirmations—similar to drugs/alcohol programs—but really are all about the homosexual internalizing the disapproval of the counselor, the religious community, and God.

“we could lose the voters that we gained in the 2010 election cycle.”

You only gained them because the Democrats lost them, you have since lost many of those gains and will likely not get them back before 2012
