It is with a heavy heart I convey the news that the founder Of Organisation Intersex International Curtis Hinkle has lost his life partner Jeannie Kay. Jeannie Kay passed away yesterday .

Changing gay ways branded harmful

THE American Psychological Association says mental health professionals
should not tell gay clients they can become straight through therapy or
other treatments.

Instead, the APA urged therapists to consider multiple options -- that could
range from celibacy to switching churches -- for helping clients whose
sexual orientation and religious faith conflict.
