CitizenLink, September 11th, 2008)...director of the gender issues department at Focus [on the Family], CitizenLink asked her to set the record straight. 2. We often hear that people like you — who no longer identify as homosexual — do not exist. How do you respond?
Melissa Fryrear: “We also have clinical studies and research that support what so many of us know personally. Last fall, researchers Stanton Jones and Mark Yarhouse released the results of a three-year study that showed sexual-orientation change is possible for some individuals going through religiously mediated programs. The study was the first longitudinal, peer-reviewed, scientific research of its kind.”
I’m sorry, did she just say “peer-reviewed?”
