Without his countless hours of guid- ance and years of service to NARTH, this journal and many other important projects never would have come to fruition. David C. Pruden, M.S., was the project director for the journal. Under his leadership, the cover was designed, the contents were edited, the writing by the various authors was merged into a meaningful whole, and the journal was published. Finally, the NARTH staff has provided and continues to provide outstanding direction and service to our members every day. Without Kim Niquette, Joan Mackenzie, Eric Graham, and Frank York, none of our activities would have been possible. Background This document was prepared in response to certain statements and resolutions of the American Psychological Association (APA) that are inaccurate and not grounded in science, in direct violation of the APA’s own “Leona Tyler Principle” (Fowler, 1993; Tyler 1969). As members of NARTH’s Scientific Advisory Committee, we feel obligated to inform both the scientific and lay communities about the plethora of studies that lead to a singular conclusion: Homosexuality is not innate, immutable, or without significant risk to medical, psychological, and relational health. We wrote a reasonably comprehensive, historical review of more than 100 years of clinical and research literature. The literature we reviewed includes older, less methodologically sophisticated stud- ies as well as more recent, representative, and methodologically rigorous studies. We acknowledge in advance the methodological limitations of the earlier studies, but include them because these earlier reports for the most part met acceptable research and publication standards at the time they were writ- ten, and because their conclusions are supported by the most current, methodologically sound studies available. We are aware that there will be those in both the public and private domains who will disagree and take issue with our presentation of specific reports or studies. Research by its very nature invites verifica- tion, critique, commentary and interpretation, as well as a willingness to see the overall picture portrayed by many decades of empirical research, clinical studies, and experiential evidence. Overall, we believe this monograph offers convincing evidence that there is hope and help for those men and women who find their unwanted homosexual attractions to be distressing. In a spirit of cli- ent autonomy, self-determination, and diversity, NARTH strongly supports the freedom and rights of individuals to seek psychological care for unwanted homosexual attractions and the rights of licensed professionals to provide that care.

Reed Payne, PhD, Brigham Young University Early one morning, several years ago, I found a plain brown envelope which had been slipped under my office door at the clinic before I arrived. In the envelope was a fifty-two page, perfectly typed, single-spaced paper from an anonymous donor, a tirade accusing me of insensitivity, gross error, cruelty and injustice-in reference to comments made in a college course. The topic was homosexuality. Selected research in the paper focused on two conclusions regarding homosexuality: (1) "we are born homosexual;" and, (2) "homosexuality cannot be changed." I disagreed then and I disagree now.

  • LGBT Identity and Crime
    LGBT Identity and Crime LGBT Identity and Crime* JORDAN BLAIR WOODS** Abstract Recent studies report that LGBT adults and youth dispropor- tionately face hardships that are risk factors for criminal offending and victimization. Some of these factors include higher rates of poverty, over- representation in the youth homeless population, and overrepresentation in the foster care system. Despite these risk factors, there is a lack of study and available data on LGBT people who come into contact with the crim- inal justice system as offenders or as victims. Through an original intellectual history of the treatment of LGBT identity and crime, this Article provides insight into how this problem in LGBT criminal justice developed and examines directions to move beyond it. The history shows that until the mid-1970s, the criminalization of homosexuality left little room to think of LGBT people in the criminal justice system as anything other than deviant sexual offenders. The trend to decriminalize sodomy in the mid-1970s opened a narrow space for schol- ars, advocates, and policymakers to use antidiscrimination principles to redefine LGBT people in the criminal justice system as innocent and non- deviant hate crime victims, as opposed to deviant sexual offenders. Although this paradigm shift has contributed to some important gains for LGBT people, this Article argues that it cannot be celebrated as * Originally published in the California Law Review. ** Assistant Professor of Law, University of Arkansas School of Law, Fayetteville.

  • Conversion Therapy and LGBT Youth Update
    AUTHORS: Christy Mallory Conversion Therapy Taylor N.T. Brown and LGBT Youth Kerith J. Conron Update BRIEF / JUNE 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conversion therapy, also known as sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts, is a practice grounded in the belief that being LGBT is abnormal. It is intended to change the sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression of LGBT people.1 Conversion therapy is practiced by some licensed professionals in the context of providing health care and by some clergy or other spiritual advisors in the context of religious practice.2 Efforts to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity are associated with poor mental health,3 including suicidality.4 As of June 2019, 18 states, the District of Columbia, and a number of localities have banned health care professionals from using conversion therapy on youth. The Williams Institute estimates that: • 698,000 LGBT adults (ages 18-59)5 in the U.S. have received conversion therapy, including about 350,000 LGBT adults who were subjected to the practice as adolescents.6 • 16,000 LGBT youth (ages 13-17) will receive conversion therapy from a licensed health care professional before they reach the age of 18 in the 32 states that currently do not ban the practice.7 • 10,000 LGBT youth (ages 13-17) live in states that ban conversion therapy and have been protected from receiving conversion therapy from a licensed health care professional before age 18.8 • An estimated 57,000 youth (ages 13-17) across all states will receive conversion therapy from religious or spiritual advisors before they reach the age of 18.9 This report updates conversion therapy estimates published by the Williams Institute in January 2018.10 Conversion Therapy and LGBT Youth | 2 HISTORY Conversion therapy has been practiced in the U.S.

  • “Ex-Gay” Performativity in Reparative Therapy Narratives
    Text and Performance Quarterly Vol. 23, No. 4, October 2003, pp. 331–352 Love Me Gender: Normative Homosexuality and “Ex-gay” Performativity in Reparative Therapy Narratives Jeffrey A. Bennett Advocates of “reparative therapy” employ a modified version of Judith Butler’s “normative heterosex- uality” discourse to “cure” gays and lesbians. Coupling Butler with a “coming out of homosexuality” personal narrative, reorientation texts such as Love Won Out construct a ubiquitous foundation for sexual identity and collective experience. At the text’s conclusion, a tension is produced between a constitutive conception of identity and a more traditional notion of self, grounded in a secured ontological base. These conflicting constructs are ultimately productive for performance scholars, illustrating an attempt to refigure the location of sexual identity and forge new positions of performativ- ity. Keywords: reparative therapy, narrative, performativity, Judith Butler, queer theory n the summer of 1998 a series of advertisements encouraging gays and lesbians Ito “come out of homosexuality” was published in national newspapers including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today. Sponsored by Exodus International, a Christian-right organization dedicated to “curing” homosexuality, the ads ignited a national controversy over “reparative therapy.“1 At the center of the campaign were John and Anne Paulk, a former drag queen and an ex-lesbian who abandoned “homosexuality” to pursue a “normal” life of marriage and children. Catapulted into the media spotlight, the Paulks personified Exodus Inter- national’s mission statement. In the months following the campaign the couple gave nearly 200 interviews, appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and 60 Minutes, and was featured on the cover of Newsweek.
