An openly gay man is running for president of the American Psychiatric Association. Jack Drescher heads the APA's Association of Gay and Lesbian Psychiatrists and is a critic of therapeutic efforts to turn gay people straight. This summer he told TheNew York Times that "most people who go through these experiences often come out feeling worse than when they went in." Activists in the "ex-gay" movement say that if Drescher wins the post, it could mean dark days for them. Alan Chambers of Exodus International said on Focus on the Family's news site that he's "very concerned that our culture is being fed misinformation and that people are reacting in a way that is detrimental to our religious liberties." One of the leading proponents of reparative therapy, Warren Throckmorton, told Family News in Focus that there's no way of predicting Drescher's agenda but that whatever it is, he'll be highly visible and influential. The APA sends out ballots next month. (Sirius OutQ News)
