Tennessee Launches New Investigation Into Ex-Gay Camp
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/07/071205exGay.htm

Tennessee state officials have begun a second investigation into an ex-gay group accused of abuse and brainwashing at a camp near Memphis.

The new probe comes just weeks after the Department of Children's Services said it had found no signs of child abuse in the wake of a widely publicized blog by a teen named "Zach" who wrote that he is gay and that his parents had forced him to go to the Love In Action camp near Memphis to cure him of his homosexuality. (story)

Love In Action International, says it believes that instilling strong Christian beliefs can keep gays from acting on their homosexual desires.



instilling beliefs or brainwashing? you be the judge

1. brainwashing
I tend to believe that is more like beating the ever-loving shit out of them for a few hours a day with a 3 pound bible.

---Son, you ever say your gay again, and I'm gettin' out the bible.
