Four gay men accused a New Jersey organization of fraud Tuesday for selling “conversion therapy” with false promises to make them straight, according to an Associated Press report. The report continues:
“They said during a Manhattan news conference that they were subjected to humiliations that included stripping naked and taking a baseball bat to effigies of their mothers.
“The four attended sessions at the Jersey City, N.J.-based Jews Offering New Alternatives to Healing, or JONAH. The nonprofit advertises in Jewish publications and claims to rid men of same-sex attractions.
“Three of the men at the news conference are Jewish, and the fourth is a Mormon now living in Salt Lake City who was a college student in New York when he signed up for the services.
“The four say the methods do not work and should not be marketed under New Jersey’s consumer protection laws.”
I find it interesting that the lawsuit comes in the wake of challenges to California’s recent ban on same-sex conversion therapy law. Is this an example of the radical gay agenda targeting JONAH with wild claims in order to show the world that conversion therapy doesn’t work? Or is JONAH bringing harm to people who want to rid themselves of same-sex attractions? Discuss.
