USA Today Prints Ridiculous 'Ex-Gay' Conversion Article (VIDEO)









"USA Today has published an op-ed by Nicholas Cummings defending ex-gay therapy, and in particular, the Jewish ex-gay group JONAH, which is being sued by ex-gay survivors for consumer fraud. Cummings offered the treatment himself as a therapist from 1959--1979, and served as president of the American Psychological Association from 1979--1980, but it's unclear what professional experience he's had since then."*

'Ex-gay' therapy has been discredited by science and there are even laws against the so-called conversion therapy in states like California. Still, USA-Today thought it would be wise to publish an op-ed in favor of the harmful, sometimes deadly practice. Ana Kasparian, Dave Rubin, and John Iadarola discuss.
