Gay Conversion

Well I thought that the situation for gay people was bad in India and the I came across this being shown on CNN. Gay conversion or Gay re-orientation therapy!!!

Quoted from CNN.com

"To some Christian groups in the United States homosexuality is not only a sin, it's a mental disorder. As such, they feel it can be cured. More than 100 camps have been set up to administer "re-orientation therapy" with the intention of turning gay people straight. The programs are big business and highly controversial. Those running the camps say they have a 30 percent success rate. Opponents believe re-orientation therapy is dangerous, sometimes leading to attempted suicide by those who feel that they have failed God."

It reminds me of the scene in 'Maurice' where Ben Kingsley is trying to 'cure' James Wilby by hypnotizing him and stuff and also the movie Latter Days where Steve Sandvoss tries to commit suicide.
