UNRVER DOCTOR: CURE ME, I’M GAY, CHANNEL 4, REVIEW

Jsen’s stnch and unflchg homosexualy ma him, for the purpos, a bad journalist. (I should at this pot loudly disclose my own homosexualy, which by the same token mak me a biased cric. ) When prented wh relig Amerin extremists who believe that a person n be “cured” of their homosexualy (by therapy or even exorcism), TV n legimately do one of two thgs.

Ined, large chunks of the programme effectively went along wh the ia that homosexualy might have a “e”, particularly childhood, that n be “cured”.

And for all the sred, closeted gay and lbian teenagers watchg at home, that is a tly disgraceful msage for Channel 4 to allow. Disregardg all evince that the ex-gay movement is credibly damagg to more than 90% of those who unrgo "treatment" (bee they clearly jt didn't believe God enough), Settg Captiv Free wants you to know that you were not "born this way.
