Public Policy Statement

REPARATIVE THERAPY

Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) opposes and deplores efforts by professional and religious groups that propose to change or repair anyone's sexual orientation.  We believe such attempts originate from cultural bias based on myth, misperception and misunderstanding.  We encourage all professional, educational and religious organizations to work towards changing cultural biases rather than embarking on futile and damaging efforts to change sexual orientation.

Adopted by the PFLAG Board of Directors on January 17, 2000.
