"Ex-Gay" Researcher Apologizes

"I believe I owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the efficacy of reparative therapy. I also apologize to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some 'highly motivated' individuals." - Dr. Robert Spitzer, Columbia University. Spitzer's study has been heavily cited by anti-gay and Christian hate groups.
