“While my sexual orientation is an important part of me, so is my
faith. If SOCE therapy had been banned, as the SPLC is seeking to do by
misusing consumer-fraud laws, I wouldn’t have simply chosen to accept my
attractions. Instead, I would’ve remained stuck in shame, isolation and
pain. It’s ironic that an SPLC victory in this lawsuit would bring
about the very effect it claims to be trying to prevent. I
understand that my life may have little appeal to others. You may be
surprised that people like me even exist; we have little reason to make
an issue of our sexuality, so you seldom find us waving placards in
parades or rallies, but there are a lot of us.” – Mormon “ex-gay” leader Jeff Bennion, writing for the New York Post.
