There is an element of the homosexual community that refuse to accept
the fact that many of their kind wish to change. Evidence has proven
that it is possible and now a book has been published outlining for gays
the "how to"s. Are the radical homos afraid of losing partners?

Madrid, Spain, Jan 3, 2012 / 12:04 pm (CNA).- A Spanish publisher says
that protests demanding the self-help book “How to Understand and Be
Cured of Homosexuality” be taken off the shelves have actually led to an
increase in sales.
Alex Rosal of the Madrid-based publishing house Libros Libres said his
company has received “an avalanche of orders” for the book written by
American psychotherapist Richard Cohen.
Rosal called protests pushing for the book's removal an attack on
freedom of expression, noting that gay and lesbian groups leading the
charge have actually boosted interest in the work.
Libros Libres “has been overwhelmed with orders from book stores and
customers and has begun working on a new edition in order to meet the
demand,” he said.
Rosal explained that author Richard Cohen experienced a homosexual
orientation for a large part of his life “but found nothing joyful or
fun about the gay lifestyle and he was searching for another path to the
happiness he desired.”
Cohen details in his book how he was able to change his sexual
orientation and for the last twenty years “has been helping thousands of
men and women who, making use of their freedom, wish to change from
homosexuality to heterosexuality,” Rosal said.
“I don’t think the gay and lesbian community has read the book,” he
added. “The book doesn’t talk about illness but rather about healing
emotional wounds, which is something common to every human being.”
“It is written from experience and therefore its pages are full of
understanding and love for all persons who have a homosexual
orientation,” he underscored.
Rosal said Libros Libres has even received the support of many with
same-sex attraction who say they “do not feel represented by the gay
community and do not share its intolerance of other points of view.”
Cohen was born in the U.S. in 1952 and later studied at the University
of Boston. He has worked in centers for abused children and was an
HIV/AIDS educator for the Red Cross. In 1990 he founded the
International Healing Foundation to help homosexual individuals who wish
to change their orientation. The first edition of his book was released
in 2004.

repeated one Catholic websites. Can't find it in any library or on
Amazon.
Its existence is as real as its author's credentials.
IBen, see if you can find a copy in NYC.

Because it is not true, IBen.
That is just more lies from the homophobic minority.

I feel that people should be free to live whatever lies they like
(without ruining anyone else's day). We let crazy people be religious,
right?! So sad to see such needless suffering though, religion really
does make people behave strangely, but also poorly. To be happy: drop
the spooks, and come out of the closet!
