Oh yeah.  The 2001 Spitzer&#039;s study with most of its participants were affiliated with Exodus and its kind.  I certainly remember their slogan and that they never could clarify what it really meant.]]></description>

Not so. The major study of ex-gays during that period was done with Exodus participants. They didn&#039;t do reparative therapy per se but they did try to use religion to change orientation. Remember the slogan: Change is Possible.]]></description>

You are right, I didn&#039;t actually watch the video.  I just know that Exodus (and many other orgs that pushed SOCE), changed how it presented itself as the science against SOCE (and about the factors that determine orientation) became harder and harder to refute.]]></description>
