SIT is an appropriate way for people to deal with unwanted SSA, as well as therapy to help people accept their orientation

Agreed.

Prior to the framework…the APA provided no guidelines, none.

JIM and NARTH are creations, in part, out of years of neglect by the APA. This neglect was not passive, it was active and focused generally on the religiously devout as “mentally weak and superstitious” (see the DSM III for numerous religious examples of mental illness). The data now refutes those longstanding assumptions and the APA is moving in the right direction.

A community will always seek to be heard and helped. Even if that help is flawed, or politicized or spiritualized or poorly informed.

GLBTQ folks should understand that more than anyone…

Regarding Mr. Cox’s reflections on JIM. I have read his article and see it for it’s flaws and strengths.

Regarding Dr. Kort, I believe as a gay affirmative therapist he may have found Warrior Weekends helpful for gay men in building a spiritual and safe community to deal with the bigotries and humiliation inflicted on gay men in other masculine communities.

He does not appear to be creepy or cultish, but thoughtful and compassionate.

If you don’t like him, I suggest you openly repudiate him on your Blog and expose what you believe is his exploitation and manipulation of gay men through Warriors.

In the mean time, take your name calling mob elsewhere.
