Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council weighs in on New Jersey’s Assembly Bill 3371 , which bans therapy meant to “engage in sexual orientation change efforts with a person under 18 years of age,” in today’s On the Square :
The two fundamental arguments against sexual reorientation therapy are simple: 1) such therapy does not work; and 2) such therapy is harmful. But the balance of evidence for these two claims—even in the American Psychological Association’s own writings—is not as clear-cut as the advocates of AB 3371 seem to believe.
Read the rest here . For other takes on such therapy that have been published on the First Things website, take a look at ” False Hope and Gay Conversion Therapy ,” by Joshua Gonnerman, and ” After Exodus, What? ” by Wesley Hill.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
