    Focus On: Dr. Davidson And The Gay Cure (UnErased)

    This is one of the rarest stories of all: a man who publicly experiences a profound change of heart.
    This is a profile of one of the gods of psychotherapy, who through a reckoning with his own work (oddly enough in the pages of Playboy magazine), becomes the first domino to fall in science’s ultimate disowning of the “gay cure.”

    This is the story of one woman who created a supergroup of like-minded mothers who faced down threats of excommunication because they refused to disown their kids, and will step in if you disown yours.
