Well, that article was pretty biased...we'll have to wait for the episode to air.

20/20 has not ever really been a friend to us at Exodus. I thought it was so telling when they were like people "still" believe it is a choice and they had to qualify Dr. Jones as an "evangelical Christian"


We never say that homosexuality is a choice. It is not a choice, but what we do about it is a choice.

It was terrible to watch. It was like a slow train wreck...watching the reality of so many being simply stepped-over to embrace a non-substantiated but popular point of view. I felt a little sick as I watched.

I understand Laura Leigh. The overall tone was look at these stable households embracing the obvious and implying that science is just catchin up with the inevitable. I think that is just plain lazy, indulgent and biased reporting.

The only balance was the mention of Dr. Jones and the "Ex-gays?" study. They of course blew right past it and dismissed it with the young man's estimation of those "groups."

I interviewed with one of their reporters one time and I had hoped for a fair report on our point of view. It never came and it looks like they still don't ever intend to be fair to our reality. Maybe one of them will one day try to present the full context of people like ourselves but I won't hold my breath.

Wow...I never thought that I'd say this, but the wikipedia article on 'biology and sexual orientation' is more balanced and better researched. Plus, those mothers were just a little bit creepy to me.

Unfortunately I missed the episode, so I can't comment on that.

However, Laura Leigh- I'm interested to know what you mean by "an non-substantiated but populuar point of view."
