Preaching to the converted

Not only that, but whatever those decisions, isn't it guaranteed that they will be respected and supported? Surprisingly the answer is often no. Some fundamentalist churches still actively preach that homosexuality is a sin, and they think a bizarre mix of prayer and threat is the way to fix it. As Sarah Abo reports in a special 60 MINUTES investigation, a form of gay conversion therapy continues to be practised on mainly young Australians who have been deemed "broken" by church ministers and counsellors. But shamefully, far from doing God's work, these people are causing lifelong damage.
