So, since my daddy is like, this awesome psychiatrist, the Trib asked for his opinion on whether or not human sexuality can be changed. Unfortunately, since he does a lot of business with the LDS community, he couldn't use his own name, so he used mine. I thought the article was hilarious. Very dry and sarcastic. So here it is:
Are problematic sexual urges curable? Of course, if you don’t care about the other effects on the person’s soul. For an excellent guide on how to cure unwanted sexual orientation, there’s a detailed description of a very effective, if not humane, technique implemented by Big Brother in George Orwell’s novel 1984.
Through a prolonged regimen of systematic beatings and psychologically draining interrogation by the Thought Police, Winston Smith is re-educated so that he no longer loves Julia (“After that, you don’t feel the same toward the other person any longer”) or eagerly wants to know about the true past; he now loves only Big Brother.
Since the process worked on heterosexual couples, it’s sure to work on homosexuals, too!
