Four men sue New Jersey organization over 'gay conversion therapy'

Four young men who say they underwent therapy that sought to
“convert” them from gay to straight are suing a New Jersey
provider known as JONAH, alleging fraud and accusing it of using
dangerous sham tactics to try to “fix something that isn’t
broken.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center on Tuesday filed the lawsuit in Superior
Court of New Jersey on behalf of the men and two of their parents
against Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing (JONAH), its founder,
Arthur Goldberg, and counselor Alan Downing.
The lawsuit alleges the defendants violated New Jersey’s Consumer
Fraud Act by providing “conversion therapy” that falsely
claims to “cure” gay clients.
It is the first time a “conversion therapy” provider has
been sued for fraudulent business practices, according to the SPLC, a
Montgomery, Ala.-based civil rights organization that fights hate and
bigotry.
Suing are Michael Ferguson, 30, of Salt Lake City; Benjamin Unger, 25,
of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Chaim Levin, 23, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Sheldon
Bruck, 20, of New York City, along with Levin’s mother, Bella
Levin, and Bruck’s mother, Jo Bruck.
The lawsuit says clients of JONAH’s services typically paid a
minimum of $100 for weekly individual counseling sessions and another
$60 for group therapy sessions.
Ferguson was in his 20s and Unger, Levin and Bruck were in their late
teens when they underwent the therapy, according to the lawsuit.
The four men say they were lured into JONAH’s services through
deceptive practices and then subjected to humiliating and emotionally
damaging therapy techniques, including group sessions in which they were
instructed to stand naked in a circle with their counselor, who was also
undressed.
“JONAH profits off of shameful and dangerous attempts to fix
something that isn’t broken,” Christine P. Sun, deputy legal
director for the SPLC, said in a statement. “Despite the consensus
of mainstream professional organizations that conversion therapy
doesn’t work, this racket continues to scam vulnerable gay men and
lesbians out of thousands of dollars and inflicts significant harm on
them.”
JONAH, based in Jersey City, did not respond to telephone messages and
emails from NBC News for comment.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages as well as revocation of
JONAH’s business license and an order to stop its employees and
associates from continuing reparative therapy practices.
In the lawsuit, Ferguson said he participated in one session in which
clients took turns trying break past a human chain to wrest away two
oranges, which were used to represent testicles, from another individual
– all the while being taunted with statements such as
“you’re such a fag, homo, queer boy.”
“They play blindly with deep emotions and create an immense amount
of self-doubt for the client,” Ferguson was quoted as saying in a
press release from the SPLC. “They seize on your personal
vulnerability, and tell you that being gay is synonymous with being less
of a man. They further misrepresent themselves as having the key to your
new orientation.”
Unger said his counselor advised him to spend more time at the gym as
well as to get naked with his father at bathhouses to “get in
touch with his masculinity.”
“These counselors are skilled at manipulating you into believing
just about anything,” said Unger. “During my time with
JONAH, they told me constantly that my mom had made me gay. I was so
convinced that I refused to have any contact with her for several
months, which caused a great deal of damage to our relationship.”
In another exercise, according to the lawsuit, clients were blindfolded
in sporting scenes as counselors and others dribbled basketballs and
hurled anti-gay slurs at them.
JONAH, formerly known as Jews Offering New Alternatives for
Homosexuality, was founded by Goldberg, a former Wall Street executive
and attorney.
The organization describes itself as “a non-profit international
organization dedicated to educating the worldwide Jewish community about
the social, cultural and emotional factors which lead to same-sex
attractions.”
JONAH’s mission statement adds:
"Our Rabbinical sages explain that because mankind has been endowed by
our Creator with a free will, everyone has the capacity to change.
Furthermore, the Rabbis emphasize that parents, teachers and counselors
have a special responsibility to educate, nurture, and provide an
opportunity for those struggling with unwanted same-sex attractions to
journey out of homosexuality.
Through psychological and spiritual counseling, peer support, and
self-empowerment, JONAH seeks to reunify families, to heal the wounds
surrounding homosexuality, and to provide hope."
The SPLC says the essential premise of conversion therapy, sometimes
also called “reparative” or “ex-gay” therapy
– that it will “convert” a gay person into a straight
person – has no basis in scientific fact. Such therapy has long
been discredited by mainstream mental health and medical professional
organizations, including the American Psychological Association and the
American Psychiatric Association, according to the law center.
Two months ago, California became the first state in the nation to ban
gay conversion therapy for minors when Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate
Bill 1172. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, called gay
cure therapy "quackery" and said parents were never informed of its
potentially dangerous aftereffects.
At least two groups, the Christian legal organization Liberty
Counsel and the California-based Pacific Justice Institute, have
filed lawsuits challenging the California ban.
Also, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier , D-Calif., said that on Wednesday in the
U.S. House, she plans to introduce a resolution, called Stop Harming Our
Kids, aimed at stopping reparative therapy practices on minors.
