Gah. As a homosexual I find this offensive, but as a spiritual Christian, I find it odious. Being homosexual is not harmful, it is the reaction of people like the bigots running programs like this that creates and helps to perpetuate the hatred of and discrimination against homosexuals in our society.
I wonder why it's the so-called sin of homosexuality that merits this kind of treatment camp and not other sins?
Why not set up a treatment program for people who propose laws against flag burning (idol worship)?
Or those who are addicted to reality tv (Idol worship).
Or those who use profanity? (Taking the lord's name in vain)
Or those who work on Saturday? (keeping the Sabbath)
Or those who are overweight? (gluttony)
Or those kids who work afterschool jobs (greed).
Or those kids who refuse to get aftershool jobs (sloth).
Or bodybuilders (Vanity).
Or teens interested in heterosexual sex (lust, fornication).
