Video on demo held outside Promised Land Church.

On Saturday February 17th a group of Bay Area Seminarians, and Theology students, stood
outside the Promised Land church at 1661 Market Street educating the community about the ill-effects of Gay Reparative Therapy.

Even though the Center for Disease Control has stated Gay Reparative Therapy(or Ex-Gay Reparative Therapy) increases the risk of suicide amongst the Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Communities, churches such as "Promised Land" still host programs that claim can cure homosexuality.
Ramone Johnson writer for About.com--http://gaylife.about.com/od/religion/i/ex_gay.htm-- says "preaching that homosexuality can be repaired actually increases
feelings of isolation" and furthers the notion that being Gay is wrong, and that those programs wreak havoc on people [lives] who participate in them.



At this point there is no scientific proof that being Gay is a mental
illness, and no organization, or mainstream health professional
supports that notion.
