A gay rights
advocacy group has contacted several news outlets to
warn of a fallacious report being released this year citing
the supposed success of "ex-gay" therapy. The report,
titled "The Thomas Project," is being published by
psychology provost Stanton Jones of Wheaton College, a
conservative university, according to Truth Wins Out.
The five-year
study centers on Exodus International clients
and will include handpicked testimonials from "ex-gay"
lobbyists and ministry leaders. According to Truth Wins Out,
there is no physical, scientific evidence to support
the study, and no sign of verification by the No
Lie MRI, a truth-detecting brain scan.
"Any 'ex-gay'
study that does not include physical components that
measure truth are essentially meaningless," the group's
executive director, Wayne Besen, said in a statement.
"We challenge Dr. Stanton Jones to submit his
so-called ex-gay subjects to the No Lie MRI because we
believe that ex-gay ministries are consumer fraud and his
reported study may be invalid." (The Advocate)
