Over the past 20-30 years, the arguments and verbiage used by the anti-homosexual and ex-gay groups have changed dramatically. As I've said before, these groups and ministries keep having to change their arguments and explanations because they all are proven untenable after a while.
It used to be that these groups would present to the world the opportunity for homosexuals to be "healed from homosexuality." Then, it was something like to "be free of homosexual desire." Now, after reading a bit from a recent Focus-on-the-Family Citizenlink e-mail update, it is "ministry to help people who desire to leave homosexual behavior."
Now, the verbiage has changed to focus on those who want to leave a behavior, not healing of or change in orientation. I still say that the Roman Catholic group Courage has been the most honest and forthright of all the ministries.
