Box Turtle Bulletin on 'The Sissy-Boy Experiment' - The Truth Behind George Rekers's Work

CNN's look at the disgusting ex-gay movement's toll continues tonight with the last part of 'The Sissy-Boy Experiment.' As we've mentioned before, Box Turtle Bulletin's Jim Burroway has done an in-depth investigation into George Rekers' junk science. He elaborates on CNN's coverage from last night; it goes into the scandalous fall of Rekers in the rent-boy/luggage lifting scandal as well.


In this episode, CNN tracks down George Rekers, the therapist who treated four-year-old Kirk Murphy and turned him into Rekers's poster boy for ex-gay therapy. Here we see Rekers learning about Kirk's suicide at the age of 38. He responds by saying that there is no evidence that Kirk's suicide was the result of Kirk's treatment. He also tries to exonerate himself by saying:

Two independent psychologists of me had evaluated him and said he was better adjusted after treatment. So it wasn't my opinion.
