(That’s “Richard C. Freidman” if anyone’s going to go looking for him etc).

Apart from the design — Spitzer has already said that Nicolosi was given early access to the interviews themself: “insisted on getting a summary of the results before going further”.

That’s a very different matter to design of the questions, and then hands off.

I don’t know why it took so long for Schidlo and Schroeder to find as many ex-ex gays as they did – the Ex-Ex gay story is all over the web. I personally know of 3 people who identify as such. Maybe if Wayne Besen was providing them with Ex-Ex gays as conservative Evangelicals had provided Spitzer with Ex-Gays, we would be able to make a real comparison.

Rick Friedman was an early collaborator on the design. Just want to temper the notion that Nicolosi was pulling strings behind the scenes. It wasn’t that way.

NARTH put a notice of the study in their bulletin. I believe it went around on the Exodus list. Perhaps, today they would get more participants, but I am pretty sure they tried hard and had some media coverage as well.

How would/did NARTH and Exodus respond to the requests by Shidlo and Schroeder?

Or, “not interested”?
