					<description><![CDATA[And NARTH &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.narth.com/docs/presstask.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Press Release&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Unfortunately, however, the report reflects a very strong confirmation bias; that is, the task force reflected virtually no ideological diversity. No APA member who offers reorientation therapy was allowed to join the task force. In fact, one can make the case that every member of the task force can be classified as an activist.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Say the activist. :-))))



&lt;blockquote&gt;Had the task force been more neutral in their approach, they could have arrived at only one conclusion: homosexuality is not invariable fixed in all people, and some people can and do change, not just in terms of behavior and identity but in core features of sexual orientation such as fantasy and attractions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;





Some? A rare word from NARTH.]]></description>
