Ex-Gay

This category deals with the issue of the Ex-Gay Movement, and therefor may contain both pro and con websites. Websites dealing with the larger issues of homosexuality will not fit in this category, and should look for more appropriate placement within Society: Issues: Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual
The ex-gay movement is a network of religious, scientific, and political organizations that advocate "change" (through religious and/or therapeutic interventions) for people who are attracted to members of the same sex or exhibit a non-normative gender identity or expression. The movement promotes religious and societal condemnation of homosexuality and transgenderism and advocates anti-LGBT public policy.
