Poll Finds Young People Are More Susceptible To Promises Of Ex-Gay Therapy | A new poll from the Human Rights Campaign and Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research (PDF) finds that only 24 percent of people polled believe that ex-gay therapy works. While it’s good to see that so few support such quackery, the poll found that 31 percent of youth believe in ex-gay therapy. That young people are more susceptible to the idea that people can (and thus, should) change their sexual orientation speaks to how harmful the ideas of ex-gay therapy truly are. (HT: Jeremy Hooper.)
