"Stop NARTH!" – Condensed Media Message

Central Message:
“We, the gay (LGBT) community, our parents, our friends, our siblings, and our religious leaders, are asking every professional organization that participated in the “Just the Facts Coalition” to open the door for families to receive compensatory damages for the malpractice of NARTH and NARTH-like professionals who continue to use what are now fully-discredited methods of therapy.


“We ask that the member-worthiness of NARTH and NARTH-like therapists who belong to the thirteen member “Just the Facts Coalition” be evaluated on whether their practices are producing sustained, measurable, and satisfactory outcomes for the therapy of their clients with “unwanted homosexual attraction” before they be allowed to retain their membership in any professional body.”

Put another way, if a doctor performs an appendectomy when he is drunk, and the patient dies, the family can sue him or her for malpractice.

Likewise, when a gay teenager commits suicide because he cannot rid himself of his “unwanted homosexual attraction,” then, and only then, will his parents wake up and realize that they had been taking their son or daughter to a professional who was “intoxicated with dogma.”

How many more teenagers need to die before we can prove that there never have been any “sustained, measurable, and satisfactory outcomes” for NARTH and NARTH-like therapists?

Malpractice is malpractice…plain and simple. If it takes 150 lawsuits to put 150 therapists out of business, then it is time to launch 150 lawsuits.
