EX-Gays?: A Longitudinal Study of Religiously Mediated Change in Sexual Orientation
Stanton L. Jones, Mark A. Yarhouse

Stanton L. Jones and Mark A. Yarhouse present social science research on homosexuals designed to answer the questions:

  • Can persons who participate in focused religious ministries experience a change in their sexual orientation?
  • Is it harmful for anyone to participate in such programs?

The results show that outcomes for this kind of religious program are similar to outcomes of therapy for other psychological problems. Such programs do not appear to be harmful on average to individuals.

This research will be of interest to all those who want to know the latest research on sexual orientation change and the effects of religiously based programs on those who utilize them.
