This documentary in development exposes how US gay teens are being forced to undergo 'ex-gay' therapy at Christian boot camps in the Dominican Republic. Please support it
From the Huffington Post:
"Kidnapped for Christ" is a compelling new documentary that follows the experiences of several American teenagers after they were kidnapped from their homes and shipped to Evangelical Reform schools located in the Dominican Republic. Many of these teenagers' parents discover their children are either gay or experience same-sex attraction, and are sent to “therapeutic Christian boarding school[s]” in order to "transform into healthy Christian adults" in an environment outside of U.S. law.
We need to help these kids. Please give a few buck to help make this documentary. Joe

What we started in California continues in Ohio. A lawmaker there is introducing a bill to ban ex-gay "therapy" on minors
From Towleroad.com:
“If they are already questioning their sexuality, we don’t want them to think there is something wrong with them that needs to be fixed,” Sen. Charleta Tavares said.
California banned sexual-orientation therapy last year for anyone younger than 18. In August, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, signed a similar law. Tavares said her bill more closely mirrors the New Jersey law, leaving penalties up to professional licensing boards.
She said it is an issue that she and her Democratic colleagues thought they needed to be more proactive in addressing, noting the higher rates of suicide among gays. She said she does not know whether so-called conversion therapy is used much in Ohio, but she said that even if it’s rare, the bill still sends a message.
“We don’t want to do any harm to a child,” she said.
