I, Jack Drescher, M.D., declare as follows:
1. I have been retained by defendants as a consultant in connection with
this proceeding. I have personal knowledge of the contents of this declaration, and

if called upon to testify, I could and would testify competently to the contents of
this declaration.
BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
2. My background, experience, memberships and scholarly publications
are summarized in my curriculum vitae, which is attached as Exhibit A to this
declaration. I am a licensed physician in the State of New York, and am board
certified in psychiatry. I have a private practice in psychiatry and psychoanalysis
in New York City. As part of my practice, I have treated patients who have
undergone sexual orientation change efforts. My experience with those patients
led me to research and write about the subject of sexual orientation change efforts
beginning in the late 1990s.
3. I am immediate past president of the Group for Advancement of
Psychiatry, a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and
served as a consultant to the American Psychiatric Associations Committee on
Public Affairs. I am a past Chair of the Associations Committee on Gay, Lesbian,
and Bisexual Issues and a Past President of the New York County District Branch,
with almost 2,000 members, the largest district branch in the United States. I have
served on the American Psychiatric Associations DSM-5 Workgroup on Sexual
and Gender Identity Disorders for the revised and recently released Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and am a member of the World Health
SA-2
5 of 236
3
Organizations Working Group on the Classification of Sexual Disorders and
Sexual Health, part of the revision process of the eleventh edition of the
International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). I have academic appointment at
New York Medical College (Clinical Associate Professor) and New York
University (Adjunct Assistant Professor).
4. I have authored and co-authored numerous professional articles and
book chapters dealing with sexual orientation issues, including a book,
Psychoanalytic Therapy and the Gay Man, and chapters on Homosexuality, Gay
and Lesbian Identities, and Homosexual Behavior in the 8
th
and 9
th
editions of
Kaplan and Sadocks Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatryone of the most
widely used psychiatric textbooks in the world. I have also edited and co-edited
numerous books dealing with gender, sexuality and the health and mental health of
the LGBT communities. I often speak for the APA to the media and general public
on LGBTQ issues including sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE).
5. I served as one of six members on the American Psychological
Associations Task Force on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual
Orientation. The Task Force issued a report of its findings in 2009, after a lengthy
process of extensive study of the existing research, and drafting and peer review of
the findings (Report of the American Psychological Association Task Force on
Appropriate Therapeutic Reponses to Sexual Orientation, 2009 (APA Report)).

SEXUAL ORIENTATION
6. Since at least the middle of the 19th century, scientists had debated
the issue of whether homosexuality was an illness or a normal variant of human
sexuality. During the social turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s, protests prompted
organized psychiatry to scientifically reassess the pathologizing of homosexuality.
As a result, in 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed
homosexuality from the list of mental disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The DSM-II instead included the term
sexual orientation disturbance, which was replaced in the DSM-III by ego-
dystonic homosexuality. In 1987, ego-dystonic homosexuality was removed
entirely from the DSM-III-R, as it was recognized that the term still pathologized
homosexuality, and such a result was inconsistent with the evidence-based
approach embraced by psychiatry. The World Health Organization later followed
suit, removing homosexuality from the Tenth Edition of the International
Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) in 1992.
7. Once homosexuality was no longer considered a disease, the debate
over treatment of homosexuals continued. Two sides with differing belief systems
emerged: one side believes that homosexuality is normal and acceptable and the
other side believes that homosexuality is neither normal nor acceptable. The first
belief system the normal/identity model regards homosexuality as a normal
SA-4
7 of 236
S
variation of human expression and in acceptance of ones homosexual orientation
as a distinguishing feature of a gay or lesbian identity. This group believes that
gay men and lesbians are sexual minorities who need protection from
discriminatory practices, including changing laws based on characterizations of
homosexuality as either an illness or immoral choice.
8. The opposing position operates from an illness/behavior model.
This model regards any open expressions of homosexuality as behavioral
symptoms either indicative of psychiatric illness or a moral failing, or perhaps
some combination of both. This position maintains that illness and/or immorality
cannot provide a foundation for creating a normal identity.
9. Following the 1973 removal of homosexuality from the DSM,
professional organizations like the American Psychiatric Association, the
American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association,
among others, recognized and accepted some of the social implications of the
normal/identity model. Position statements were published supporting
nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The recognition and
acceptance of the normal/identity model led some opposed to the model to claim
that professional organizations had been taken over by homosexual activists
and to dismiss their moral or scientific authority in the sociopolitical debate. (Jack
SA-5

6
Drescher, Ethical Issues in Treating Gay and Lesbian Patients, 25 Psychiatr Clin
N Am at 607, citing C. Socarides Homosexuality: a freedom too far, (1995).)
10. Other clinicians, whose belief in the discredited illness/behavior
model put them at odds with the mental health mainstream, began speaking out to
the general public instead. Their message was that heterosexuality is the only
normal expression of human sexuality, homosexuality is a sick/immoral
behavior and not a normal identity and gay people are only seeking approval
for bad behavior. (Id. at 607-08.) These therapists oppose the normal/identity
model and argue that people are not born gay and can change their sexual
orientation. (Id. at 608).
SEXUAL ORIENTATION CHANGE EFFORTS
11. Sexual orientation change efforts have existed since at least the
beginning of the modern era, and are based upon either a concept that
homosexuality is a disease that needs to be cured or a form of stunted
psychosexual growth in need of maturing. Even Sigmund Freud attempted to
change the sexual orientation of a young woman brought for treatment by her
parents, but reported no success in his effort. In spite of the lack of any empirical
data showing proven success, individuals wishing to escape the social stigma of
being gay and/or whose religious beliefs condemn homosexuality continue to seek
out clinicians who claim they can cure homosexuality.
SA-6

12. At first SOCE or reparative therapies were regarded by professional
associations as private agreements between individual patients and therapists. It
was originally believed, either implicitly or explicitly, that efforts to cure
homosexuality would not lead to harm. However, complaints about poor outcomes
in therapy led to increased outside scrutiny and an emerging clinical focus on
patients who attempted and failed SOCE and later adopted a gay or lesbian
identity. (See, e.g., Ariel Shidlo & Michael Schroeder, Changing Sexual
Orientation: A Consumers Report, 33 Professional Psychology: Research and
Practice 249-259 (2002)). Increasing numbers of anecdotal accounts from patients
suggested that therapists may be doing psychological damage to patients and their
families who fail to convert and ultimately come out as gay.
13. The use of psychoanalytic and behavior therapy in SOCE was
prevalent through the 1960s and early 1970s. Behavior therapists used a variety of
aversion treatments, including electric shock treatments, nausea-inducing drugs
and having an individual snap an elastic band around the wrist when the individual
became aroused to same-sex erotic images or thoughts. (APA Report at 22).
Some cognitive therapists attempted to change thought patterns using hypnosis or
by redirecting thoughts and reframing desires, but these efforts were generally not
successful. (See id.)
SA-7
10 of 236

14. After homosexuality was removed from the DSM, the use of aversive
therapies fell into disfavor as therapists became concerned that aversive therapies
were inappropriate, unethical and inhumane. Prominent practitioners in
psychoanalysis and other fields began questioning SOCE therapy and its
underpinnings in the pathology of homosexuality. Over time, in addition to the
non-discrimination policies adopted by the various professional organizations,
mainstream professional organizations issued recommendations and position
papers that SOCE therapy not be practiced. Concurrently, as training programs for
mental health professionals stopped teaching SOCE therapies, their current
practitioners are trained in these techniques outside the mental health mainstream.
15. In 1998, the American Psychiatric Association stated, The potential
risks of reparative therapy are great and include depression, anxiety, and self-
destructive behavior, since therapist alignment with societal prejudices against
homosexuality may reinforce self-hatred already experienced by the patient. The
statement went on to say, APA opposes any psychiatric treatment, such as
reparative or conversion therapy, that is based on the assumption that
homosexuality per se is a mental disorder or is based on the a priori assumption
that the patient should change his or her homosexual orientation. In 2000, the
American Psychiatric Association affirmed its earlier position that SOCE is not an
appropriate treatment, recommending that ethical practitioners refrain from
SA-8
11 of 236
9
attempts to change individuals sexual orientation, keeping in mind the medical
dictum to first, do no harm. In that position paper, the APA noted that there are
no sufficiently scientific rigorous outcome studies to evaluate all of the anecdotal
claims of efficacy or harm of SOCE. But even with limited data, the APA found
that it was possible to evaluate the theories which rationalize or support the
conduct of reparative and conversion therapies. The APA noted that the theories
are at odds with the scientific position that homosexuality per se is not a
diagnosable mental disorder or some form of psychopathology that can or may be
cured. Similar statements have been made by the American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry (see its Practice Parameter on Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual
Sexual Orientation, Gender Nonconformity, and Gender Discordance in Children
and Adolescents), the Royal College of Psychiatrists (homosexuality is not a
psychiatric disorder and no sound scientific evidence exists that sexual
orientation can be changed); and the Pan American Health Organization (Since
homosexuality is not a disorder or a disease, it does not require a cure. There is no
medical indication for changing sexual orientation).
16. Beginning in the late 1990s, the visibility of SOCE increased. Despite
the position of the overwhelming majority of mental health professionals that
homosexuality is not a disease or a diagnosable mental disorder, some health care
professionals continued to claim they could cure homosexuality. In an effort to
SA-9
12 of 236
10
resolve the question, in 2007, the American Psychological Association assembled a
task force (the Task Force), of which I was a member, to conduct a systematic
review of the peer-reviewed research on SOCE in an effort to conduct an evidence-
based appraisal of the potential benefits and harm of SOCE.
17. The Task Force found that there were few studies of SOCE that met
methodological standards such that conclusions could be drawn as to efficacy or
safety. As to the more recent practices of SOCE, that lack of data caused the Task
Force to conclude that claims that recent SOCE is effective are not supported.
Some of the older studies with better scientific controls demonstrated that
enduring change to an individuals sexual orientation is uncommon and that it
is unlikely that individuals will be able to reduce same-sex attractions or increase
other-sex sexual attractions through SOCE. (APA Report at 2-3).
RISK OF HARM FROM SOCE
18. Plaintiffs, and current practitioners of SOCE, claim that aversive
therapies are no longer used. Although aversive therapies are uncommon and fell
into disfavor after 1973, within the past ten years, I was contacted by a journalist
for comments about Mormon men she interviewed in Nevada and Utah who had
been subjected to shock treatment as part of SOCE. Although plaintiffs argue that
current SOCE is conducted through talk therapy, implying that such therapy could
not cause harm, talk therapy can cause significant harm to patients.
SA-10
13 of 236
11
19. SOCE has as its underpinning verbal misrepresentations about human
sexual development. Typical statements in treatment by SOCE practitioners
include hurtful untruths, such as you have a mental disorder, no matter what the
American Psychiatric Association says or if you are gay, you will probably die
early and live an unhappy and unhealthy life. Or gay relationships do not last
and you will grow up to be old and lonely. Or God will not love you if you are
gay. The discredited theories used to explain same-sex attraction include male
patients not having close enough relationships with their father figures, or having
dominating mother figures, or having been sexually abused early in their lives.
20. Reparative therapists beliefs can create unreasonable expectations
since an underlying premise of SOCE is that if you want to change and try hard
enough, or if your faith is strong enough, you can. This concept sets patients up
to blame themselves for the treatments failure, even though the majority of people
who attempt SOCE fail to change. When the change efforts are unsuccessful, the
patient is told and often believes it is the patients own lack of motivation or faith,
rather than any fault of the practitioner or the therapy itself, that led to failure to
change. Such self-blame is always harmful to the patient.
21. Additional adverse effects of SOCE are reported in a growing number
of autobiographical accounts by gay individuals who unsuccessfully attempted to
change their sexual orientations. Some reported therapist encouragement to marry
SA-11
14 of 236
12
and have children, followed by the eventual dissolution of a patients heterosexual
marriage. Others have reported feelings of depression, suicide, anxiety, and guilt
evoked in a patient when the treatment failed. Still others have reported loss of
self-esteem, avoidance of intimacy and sexual dysfunction.
22. Even though there is literature concerning the adverse effects of
SOCE in adult patients, there is little study of SOCE in minors. (APA Report at
72). Because sexual orientation generally does not emerge until puberty with the
onset of sexual desires, the few non-peer reviewed presentations on childhood
interventions are based on theories of sexual orientation that assume certain
patterns of family relationships cause same-sex sexual orientation, and that
encouraging gender stereotypical behavior and family relationships will alter
sexual orientation. (Id.)
23. In spite of the lack of scientific studies, minors are particularly at risk
of harm from SOCE due to their emotional and cognitive vulnerability. They have
limited capacity to participate in decision-making regarding their own treatment,
and dont have the legal capacity for informed consent. They may be unable to
anticipate the future consequences of a particular course of action or therapy.
Minors depend on their parents to make treatment decisions for them, and their
financial and psychological dependence on their parents may also eliminate any
choice whether to undergo SOCE.
SA-12
15 of 236

24. Unlike proven medical treatments, SOCE is not proven effective, and
may, in fact, be harmful. The therapist is an authority figure to the child, so
statements that have negative impact on adults will have an even greater impact on
children. Children may be particularly vulnerable to statements that God will not
love them if they are gay, or, even worse, they are made vulnerable by the fear of
family rejection in the likely event the therapy does not succeed. At least one
study of lesbian, gay and bisexual youth has shown that family rejection is strongly
associated with poor mental health outcomes as these groups were found to be 8.4
times more likely to report having attempted suicide, 5.9 times more likely to
report high levels of depression and 3.4 times more likely to use illegal drugs (See,
e.g., Caitlin Ryan, David Huebner, Rafael M. Diaz & George Sanchez, Family
Rejection as a Predictor of Negative Health Outcomes in White and Latino
Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Young Adults, 123 Pediatrics 346 (Jan. 1, 2009).).
LGBT youth are overrepresented in foster care, juvenile detention, and among
homeless youth, often because parents who cannot accept children who are gay or
gender variant throw them out of the home.
25. In SOCE approaches, simplistic misrepresentations of complex issues
are often presented to clients, their families and the public as facts, which results in
unrealistic expectation and self-blame. In SOCE approaches with minors, an
unscientific opinion based on an unproven theory is elevated to the same level as
SA-13
16 of 236
14
science because of the childs perception of the therapist as an authority figure who
represents the wishes of parents. In such cases, not only is a minor patient unable
to give informed consent, parental consent is often based primarily upon their
desires to change their childs sexual orientation rather than on sorting out the
science and pseudoscience of human sexuality. Some parents are willing to make
major sacrifices of time, effort, and money to achieve that goal, regardless of any
proven lack of efficacy.
26. Patients may feel abandoned by their therapists in the event they
determine that SOCE is unsuccessful and they choose to come out as gay. In Dr.
Joseph Nicolosis Declaration submitted in support of plaintiffs motion in this
matter, he explicitly states that his informed consent form advises patients that
neither he, nor anyone in his clinic, will provide what he refers to as gay-
affirming therapy and that clients should seek another therapist [on their own] if
that is the goal. (Declaration of Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, 7.) There is no suggestion
in his Declaration that Dr. Nicolosi would refer the patient to another therapist who
could provide a different type of therapy. Without a referral, and in need of
continued therapy, according to anecdotal reports the patient may feel abandoned,
with an increase in depression, anxiety and self-blame.
27. SOCE proponents, after more than half a century of practice, have
failed to demonstrate the efficacy of SOCE or to refute the reports of harm
SA-14
17 of 236
1S
reported by individuals and therapists. When there is a risk of harm and no proven
efficacy of treatment, the maxim first do no harm must come into play when
treating patients, particularly minors.
CONCLUSION
28. The position of mainstream medical and mental health professions is
that the role of a therapist is to help patients tolerate the feelings that emerge
during the process of exploring possible sexual identities. Rather than focusing on
a single outcome, the therapist should regard either a homosexual or heterosexual
identity as a reasonable outcome of treatment. The therapists dedication to the
patients best interest should be paramount in any treatment. SOCE is contrary to
this recognized objective of treatment, and, as repeatedly recognized in the
mainstream medical and mental health community, SOCE provides little benefit to
patients while exposing those patients to substantial risks of harm.
I declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to the laws of the State of New
Jersey that the foregoing is true and correct.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
TRENTON DIVISION

TARA KING, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CHRISTOPHER J. CHRISTIE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-5038

DECARLATION OF DOUGLAS C. HALDEMAN, PH.D. IN SUPPORT OF
PROPOSED DEFENDANT-INTERVENOR GARDEN STATE EQUALITYS
MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND IN OPPOSITION TO
PLAINTIFFSMOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

I, Douglas C. Haldeman, Ph.D, declare as follows:
1. I have been retained by Proposed Defendant-Intervenor Garden State
Equality as an expert in connection with the above-referenced litigation. I have personal
knowledge of the contents of this Declaration and, if called upon to testify, I could and
would testify competently to the contents of this Declaration.
EXPERT BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
2. My background and experience are summarized in my curriculum vitae,
which is attached as Exhibit A to this Declaration. My curriculum vitae also includes a
list of publications I have authored.
3. I am a licensed psychologist in the State of Washington. I have engaged in
a full-time independent clinical practice in Seattle since 1983. The majority of my full-
time clinical practice involves individual, couple, family and group counseling to the
LGBT communities.
SA-81
84 of 236
- 1 -

4. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of
Washington in 1984. Since 1988, I have served as a Clinical Instructor in the Department
of Psychology at the University of Washington. In addition, I have been an active
member of the American Psychological Association (APA) since 1985, and have served
in a number of positions in APA Governance, including its Board of Directors and the
Board of its Insurance Trust. I have also been a member of the Washington State
Psychological Association (WSPA) since 1984, and have been involved in a number of
the Associations committees.
5. One of the primary foci of my nearly 30 years of clinical practice has been
to counsel men who have been harmed, both emotionally and physically, by undergoing
sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE). For more than 20 years, I have written
extensively about issues relating to SOCE, including more than 40 papers and chapters in
scholarly journals and books. Those publications are summarized in my curriculum vitae
(Exhibit A).
6. In preparing to write this Declaration, I have reviewed the declarations filed
by the Plaintiffs in this matter.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION CHANGE EFFORTS
7. There is a consensus among mainstream mental health organizations and
mainstream mental health providers and academics that SOCE is not an accepted
therapeutic practice. This is because (1) there is no valid evidence that it works; and (2)
there is significant and valid evidence that it can cause serious harm, including serious
emotional consequences such as depression, suicide attempts, and suicide.
8. A review of the literature relating to SOCE reflects that the premise
underlying treatments designed to change homosexual orientation is that homosexuality
is a mental disorder that needs to be cured. When homosexuality was declassified as a
treatable mental disorder nearly 40 years ago, it was assumed by many that the popularity
of treatments intended to change sexual orientation would come to an end. While some
SA-82
85 of 236
- 2 -

of the most notorious aversive change therapies have largely fallen into disfavor,
including the application of electric shock to the hands and/or genitals, or nausea-
inducing drugs, some practitioners have continued to engage in other types of SOCE
premised on the unscientific belief that homosexual orientation is undesirable,
pathological, and the result of learned behavior, which can be reconditioned through
various means.
9. A review of hundreds of studies over many decades concludes that there is
no reliable evidence to suggest that SOCE therapies are effective in changing a patients
sexual orientation (APA, 2009). The studies purporting to show the efficacy of SOCE
are characterized by serious methodological flaws and conceptual weaknesses that make
their results unreliable. Foremost among the methodological problems with these studies
is sampling bias. Frequently, the participants in these studies have been selected by, or
identified exclusively by referrals from, practitioners of SOCE therapy. In addition, these
studies rarely include any effort to define what constitutes sexual orientation in the first
place, or to place the study participants on any sort of spectrum reflecting their own
individual sexual orientation. Similarly, the studies rarely include any effort to define
quantitatively what constitutes a change of sexual orientation. Furthermore, these studies
are also characterized by methodological flaws relating to response bias: study
participants, because of societal and/or religious pressures, typically hold strong views
that homosexuality is undesirable and therefore are likely to overstate their perceived
success in changing their underlying orientations. Almost all such studies draw on a
subjects retrospective analysis of the therapeutic experience, which is further influenced
by pressures from family and social desirability generally linked to membership in a
conservative religious community. Finally, few of the conversion therapy studies offer
any follow-up data. This is particularly relevant given the fact that these studies
frequently ignore extraordinarily high SOCE dropout rates. The failure of the studies to
follow up with the participants who have dropped out serves to distort the results of the
SA-83
86 of 236
- 3 -

studies, because they do not take into account the large number of individuals for whom
the treatment was, at best, ineffective, and, more likely, harmful. Indeed, it is worth
noting that even in these tremendously flawed studies, proponents of SOCE report only a
30% success rate at best. Nevertheless, these studies are marketed as scientific to a
public that is unable to critically evaluate them.
SOCE THERAPIES CREATE A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF HARM
10. When patients begin SOCE therapy, they frequently blame themselves for
experiences of rejection or maltreatment rooted in societys devaluation of same-sex
sexual orientation. SOCE therapy invariably involves validating and reaffirming this
societal rejection, and imbuing it with the false appearance of scientific and medical
acceptance. Those who report being harmed in SOCE therapies frequently report that
their prior therapists attempted to frighten them into changing their sexual orientation by
presenting images of gay men and lesbians as depraved, chronically miserable people,
unproductive in life, and incompetent in meaningful relationships. Because SOCE
therapy validates and reaffirms that devaluation, it frequently exacerbates the patients
distress and results in severe emotional harm. Harms from SOCE can manifest in the
form of depression, guilt, anxiety, low self-esteem, intimacy avoidance, sexual
dysfunction, suicidal ideation, and other negative consequences.
11. Additionally, a patients recognition that SOCE has failed can cause further
severe emotional consequences. LGB youth -- regardless whether they attempt to change
their orientation through SOCE -- are at heightened risk of expulsion from family, loss of
position in society, rejection from familiar institutions, loss of faith in and membership in
the community, and vulnerability to anti-gay biases. The failed attempt to change ones
sexual orientation -- because it often is perceived to be a failure on the part of the
patient -- exacerbates these risks. This in turn can cause additional negative emotional
consequences like those described above: depression, guilt, anxiety, low self-esteem,
SA-84
87 of 236
- 4 -

intimacy avoidance, sexual dysfunction, suicidal ideation, and other negative
consequences.
12. My own experience as a mental health provider confirms the harms that
SOCE therapies cause. For nearly thirty years, I have been working with patients in my
clinical practice who have suffered through a variety of efforts to change their sexual
orientation and have been harmed as a result.
13. The harms associated with SOCE therapies are particularly significant as
they relate to minors. Adolescents require a period of exploration and introspection in
order to work through issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity. Minors
who have not had a chance to explore or know their sexuality can be particularly harmed
by the bias and lack of accurate information inherent in SOCE therapies, where the
proponents reinforce the message that homosexuality is a disorder that is to be avoided at
all costs. The harms inflicted on minors who are exposed to SOCE therapies may be
exacerbated by the fact that an individuals brain tissue in the pre-frontal cortex is still
developing and changing rapidly during early adolescence and teenage years. These
cellular changes in brain tissue leave the mid-brain (repository of emotional responses)
much more vulnerable to the potentially traumatic effects of SOCE.
14. Minors are particularly susceptible to implicit or explicit coercion by family
members and faith communities who disapprove of their sexual orientation. Parents
often urge or compel minors to undergo SOCE, and minors often experience a desperate
desire to gain the approval of their family and churches. Because of the stigma attached
to being gay, minors may also even have difficulty separating what they want from what
their families or therapists want, and SOCE may appear to some of these minors to
provide a means to gain approval and to conform their identities and behaviors to familial
and societal expectations and hopes. But minors often do not understand the risks, and
may not understand that other therapeutic interventions could help them feel better and
SA-85
88 of 236
- 5 -

resolve conflicts between their sexual orientation, their family expectations, and, where
applicable, their own religious values without risking severe harm.
15. The potential consequences of SOCE, such as depression and suicide, are
sufficiently grave that it is appropriate to erect a complete barrier between minors -- who
deserve special protections from harmful practices -- and therapists who would offer
them the false hope of changing their sexual orientation through SOCE.
16. Informed consent is appropriate only for therapies that offer at least
some potential benefits, which SOCE does not. There are many potential benefits for
LGB youth who seek therapy. Therapy can provide a safe place to discuss conflict,
experience support, and develop hope. But none of these benefits derives from the
practice of SOCE itself, but rather from universal techniques of psychotherapy. These
basic benefits can be provided by culturally competent care, without creating the risks of
harm caused by SOCE.
17. My conclusions regarding the harms caused by SOCE therapies have been
reinforced in recent years. The Report of the American Psychological Association Task
Force on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation (APA (2009))
concluded that SOCE interventions have no scientific basis. The APA Task Force Report
undertook a comprehensive review of the relevant research literature and concluded that
there was no reliable evidence to support the contention that SOCE therapies work. The
APA Task Force Report also provided a detailed discussion and analysis of the harms
associated with SOCE therapies.
18. After a peer review of the conclusions of the APA (2009) Task Force, the
APA passed a resolution in 2009 declaring that there is insufficient evidence to support
the use of psychological interventions to change sexual orientation. In addition, the
resolution points out that the benefits reported by participants in sexual orientation
change efforts can be gained through approaches that do not attempt to change sexual
orientation. As a result, the APA, like all the other major mental-health organizations,
SA-86
89 of 236
- 6 -

has resolved that SOCE therapies are unnecessary and potentially harmful, and therefore
should not be promoted or offered.
19. The methodological flaws in the studies purporting to show the efficacy of
SOCE therapies were recently underscored by Dr. Robert Spitzer, the author of what had
been considered to be the most well-known and authoritative study purporting to
demonstrate that SOCE therapies may work for some individuals under certain
circumstances. Earlier this year, Dr. Spitzer took the unusual step of recanting his 2001
study that had been published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. Dr. Spitzer admitted
that his study had been methodologically flawed and that there was no valid basis for his
studys conclusion that SOCE therapies had succeeded in changing the sexual orientation
of any study participants. Indeed, Dr. Spitzer issued a public apology for having made
unproven claims regarding the efficacy of SOCE and subjecting individuals to the harms
of SOCE interventions. An article from the New York Times detailing this retraction is
attached as Exhibit B. Dr. Spitzer recently gave a brief videotaped statement for use in
this case, explaining the methodological flaws in his prior study and explaining his
current view that SOCE causes harm. A video of Dr. Spitzers statement is available at
http://youtu.be/TdOovBb2tqI and a transcript of that statement is attached hereto as
Exhibits C.
SOCE DOES NOT ADVANCE CLIENT AUTONOMY
20. Competent, ethical psychologists respect a clients right to self-
determination. That does not mean, however, that a psychologist is ethically required to
defer to a clients stated goals, without regard to medical and ethical guidelines. Nor
does that mean that a psychologist must provide a patient with whatever form of therapy
the client wants, regardless of the therapys efficacy or potential harm, or that clients
should be permitted to demand such therapy. For example, if an anorexic patient asks for
help in losing more weight, competent psychologists do not defer to this goal out of
respect for the patients self-determination.
SA-87
90 of 236
- 7 -

21. Psychology remains a profession, not merely a service industry. Competent
psychologists listen to a clients stated goals and experiences, and guide the client
through the process of exploring the emotional basis for those goals and experiences
using accepted therapeutic techniques. It is through this process that competent therapists
assist clients in gaining understanding, and, based on that understanding, determining
healthy and emotionally sound strategies for living their chosen lives.
22. SOCE necessarily runs counter to these accepted methods, because SOCE
presupposes a preferred outcome -- generally a heterosexual or celibate orientation --
which typically is in direct conflict with the clients actual emotional and physical
experiences. Moreover, SOCE excludes any accurate and honest exploration of the basis
for the desire to be heterosexual.
23. Professional guidelines and ethical principles admonish psychologists
against the imposition of personal, religious, or idiosyncratic beliefs upon any patient.
SOCE presupposes an unrealistic outcome, and is imposed on the minor client regardless
of his or her own thoughts, desires, or personal exploration of sexual orientation and
identity. In this way, SOCE thwarts client autonomy, rather than advances it.
24. Respecting client autonomy does not mean that clients with strong religious
beliefs that include, for example, disapproval of homosexual behavior, should be
permitted to elect to undergo SOCE. Regardless of a clients religious beliefs, it is
inappropriate for a competent therapist to offer a purported treatment that does not
work and creates a significant risk of serious harm. A competent therapist treating a
client with strong religious beliefs assists the client in understanding the source and
emotional consequences of any conflicts between experience and belief, and in
negotiating a healthy life course in light of accurate knowledge about what can be
changed and what cannot.
25. The APA (2009) Task Force Report reaches this same conclusion regarding
the appropriate manner of respecting client autonomy: We believe that simply
SA-88

providing SOCE to clients who request it does not necessarily increase self-determination
but rather abdicates the responsibility of [mental healthcare providers] to provide
competent assessment and interventions that have the potential for benefit with a limited
risk of harm. We also believe that [mental healthcare providers] are more likely to
maximize their clients self-determination by providing effective psychotherapy that
increases a clients abilities to cope, understand, acknowledge, explore, and integrate
sexual orientation concerns into a self-chosen life in which the client determines the
ultimate manner in which he or she does or does not express sexual orientation.
26. The concept of self-determination in relation to SOCE is particularly
critical when it comes to minors. Minors are often forced into SOCE by their parents,
who refuse to accept the fact that their child may be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or
transgender. Unlike the discredited SOCE therapies, interventions or therapies that
affirm a patients sexual orientation and gender identity actually promote the patients
autonomy and self-determination, because true self-determination is accomplished when
the patients false assumptions are corrected and the individual is allowed to make truly
informed decisions about his life.

MARKETPLACE OFFICE
CONCLUSION
27. SOCE therapies designed to change an individual's sexual orientation have
not been empirically demonstrated to be either effective or safe. Indeed, such SOCE
therapies needlessly expose patients to risk of serious harms. In fact, based on my 20
years of experience studying and writing about SOCE in textbook peer reviewed journals,
as well as my 30 years of clinical observations, I am convinced that many individuals
who attempted to change their sexual orientation have experienced considerable
psychological pain and harm.
I declare under penalty of peIjury under the laws of the United States of America
that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 12th day of September, 2013, at
Seattle, Washington.

Psychiatry Giant Sorry for Backing Gay Cure
Alex di Suvero for The New York Times
Dr. Robert L. Spitzer is a major architect of the modern classification of mental disorders.
By BENEDICT CAREY
Published: May 18, 2012 620 Comments
PRINCETON, N.J. The simple fact was that he had done something
wrong, and at the end of a long and revolutionary career it didnt
matter how often hed been right, how powerful he once was, or what
it would mean for his legacy.
Dr. Robert L. Spitzer, considered by
some to be the father of modern
psychiatry, lay awake at 4 oclock on a
recent morning knowing he had to do
the one thing that comes least
naturally to him.
He pushed himself up and staggered
into the dark. His desk seemed
impossibly far away; Dr. Spitzer, who turns 80 next week,
suffers from Parkinsons disease and has trouble walking,
sitting, even holding his head upright.
The word he sometimes uses to describe these limitations
pathetic is the same one that for decades he wielded like
an ax to strike down dumb ideas, empty theorizing and junk
studies.
Now here he was at his computer, ready to recant a study he had done himself, a poorly
conceived 2003 investigation that supported the use of so-called reparative therapy to
cure homosexuality for people strongly motivated to change.

What to say? The issue of gay marriage was rocking national politics yet again. The
California State Legislature was debating a bill to ban the therapy outright as being
dangerous. A magazine writer who had been through the therapy as a teenager recently
visited his house, to explain how miserably disorienting the experience was.
And he would later learn that a World Health Organization report, released on Thursday,
calls the therapy a serious threat to the health and well-being even the lives of
affected people.
Dr. Spitzers fingers jerked over the keys, unreliably, as if choking on the words. And then
it was done: a short letter to be published this month, in the same journal where the
original study appeared.
I believe, it concludes, I owe the gay community an apology.
Disturber of the Peace
The idea to study reparative therapy at all was pure Spitzer, say those who know him, an
effort to stick a finger in the eye of an orthodoxy that he himself had helped establish.
In the late 1990s as today, the psychiatric establishment considered the therapy to be a
nonstarter. Few therapists thought of homosexuality as a disorder.
It was not always so. Up into the 1970s, the fields diagnostic manual classified
homosexuality as an illness, calling it a sociopathic personality disturbance. Many
therapists offered treatment, including Freudian analysts who dominated the field at the
time.
Advocates for gay people objected furiously, and in 1970, one year after the landmark
Stonewall protests to stop police raids at a New York bar, a team of gay rights protesters
heckled a meeting of behavioral therapists in New York to discuss the topic. The meeting
broke up, but not before a young Columbia University professor sat down with the
protesters to hear their case.
Ive always been drawn to controversy, and what I was hearing made sense, said Dr.
Spitzer, in an interview at his Princeton home last week. And I began to think, well, if it is
a mental disorder, then what makes it one?
He compared homosexuality with other conditions defined as disorders, like depression
and alcohol dependence, and saw immediately that the latter caused marked distress or
impairment, while homosexuality often did not.
He also saw an opportunity to do something about it. Dr. Spitzer was then a junior member
of on an American Psychiatric Association committee helping to rewrite the fields
diagnostic manual, and he promptly organized a symposium to discuss the place of
homosexuality.
That kicked off a series of bitter debates, pitting Dr. Spitzer against a pair of influential
senior psychiatrists who would not budge. In the end, the psychiatric association in 1973
sided with Dr. Spitzer, deciding to drop homosexuality from its manual and replace it with
his alternative, sexual orientation disturbance, to identify people whose sexual
orientation, gay or straight, caused them distress.
The arcane language notwithstanding, homosexuality was no longer a disorder. Dr.
Spitzer achieved a civil rights breakthrough in record time.
I wouldnt say that Robert Spitzer became a household name among the broader gay
movement, but the declassification of homosexuality was widely celebrated as a victory,
said Ronald Bayer of the Center for the History and Ethics of Public Health at Columbia.
Sick No More was a headline in some gay newspapers.
Partly as a result, Dr. Spitzer took charge of the task of updating the diagnostic manual.
Together with a colleague, Dr. Janet Williams, now his wife, he set to work. To an extent
that is still not widely appreciated, his thinking about this one issue homosexuality

drove a broader reconsideration of what mental illness is, of where to draw the line
between normal and not.
The new manual, a 567-page doorstop released in 1980, became an unlikely best seller,
here and abroad. It instantly set the standard for future psychiatry manuals, and elevated
its principal architect, then nearing 50, to the pinnacle of his field.
He was the keeper of the book, part headmaster, part ambassador, and part ornery cleric,
growling over the phone at scientists, journalists, or policy makers he thought were out of
order. He took to the role as if born to it, colleagues say, helping to bring order to a
historically chaotic corner of science.
But power was its own kind of confinement. Dr. Spitzer could still disturb the peace, all
right, but no longer from the flanks, as a rebel. Now he was the establishment. And in the
late 1990s, friends say, he remained restless as ever, eager to challenge common
assumptions.
Thats when he ran into another group of protesters, at the psychiatric associations annual
meeting in 1999: self-described ex-gays. Like the homosexual protesters in 1973, they too
were outraged that psychiatry was denying their experience and any therapy that might
help.
Reparative Therapy
Reparative therapy, sometimes called sexual reorientation or conversion therapy, is
rooted in Freuds idea that people are born bisexual and can move along a continuum from
one end to the other. Some therapists never let go of the theory, and one of Dr. Spitzers
main rivals in the 1973 debate, Dr. Charles W. Socarides, founded an organization called
the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, or Narth, in
Southern California, to promote it.
By 1998, Narth had formed alliances with socially conservative advocacy groups and
together they began an aggressive campaign, taking out full-page ads in major newspaper
trumpeting success stories.
People with a shared worldview basically came together and created their own set of
experts to offer alternative policy views, said Dr. Jack Drescher, a psychiatrist in New
York and co-editor of Ex-Gay Research: Analyzing the Spitzer Study and Its Relation to
Science, Religion, Politics, and Culture.
To Dr. Spitzer, the scientific question was at least worth asking: What was the effect of the
therapy, if any? Previous studies had been biased and inconclusive. People at the time did
say to me, Bob, youre messing with your career, dont do it, Dr. Spitzer said. But I just
didnt feel vulnerable.
He recruited 200 men and women, from the centers that were performing the therapy,
including Exodus International, based in Florida, and Narth. He interviewed each in depth
over the phone, asking about their sexual urges, feelings and behaviors before and after
having the therapy, rating the answers on a scale.
He then compared the scores on this questionnaire, before and after therapy. The
majority of participants gave reports of change from a predominantly or exclusively
homosexual orientation before therapy to a predominantly or exclusively heterosexual
orientation in the past year, his paper concluded.
The study presented at a psychiatry meeting in 2001, before publication immediately
created a sensation, and ex-gay groups seized on it as solid evidence for their case. This
was Dr. Spitzer, after all, the man who single-handedly removed homosexuality from the
manual of mental disorders. No one could accuse him of bias.
But gay leaders accused him of betrayal, and they had their reasons.
The study had serious problems. It was based on what people remembered feeling years
before an often fuzzy record. It included some ex-gay advocates, who were politically
active. And it did not test any particular therapy; only half of the participants engaged with
SA-115

a therapist at all, while the others worked with pastoral counselors, or in independent Bible
study.
Several colleagues tried to stop the study in its tracks, and urged him not to publish it, Dr.
Spitzer said.
Yet, heavily invested after all the work, he turned to a friend and former collaborator, Dr.
Kenneth J. Zucker, psychologist in chief at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health in
Toronto and editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior, another influential journal.
I knew Bob and the quality of his work, and I agreed to publish it, Dr. Zucker said in an
interview last week. The paper did not go through the usual peer-review process, in which
unnamed experts critique a manuscript before publication. But I told him I would do it
only if I also published commentaries of response from other scientists to accompany the
study, Dr. Zucker said.
Those commentaries, with a few exceptions, were merciless. One cited the Nuremberg
Code of ethics to denounce the study as not only flawed but morally wrong. We fear the
repercussions of this study, including an increase in suffering, prejudice, and
discrimination, concluded a group of 15 researchers at the New York State Psychiatric
Institute, where Dr. Spitzer was affiliated.
Dr. Spitzer in no way implied in the study that being gay was a choice, or that it was
possible for anyone who wanted to change to do so in therapy. But that didnt stop socially
conservative groups from citing the paper in support of just those points, according to
Wayne Besen, executive director of Truth Wins Out, a nonprofit group that fights antigay
bias.
On one occasion, a politician in Finland held up the study in Parliament to argue against
civil unions, according to Dr. Drescher.
It needs to be said that when this study was misused for political purposes to say that gays
should be cured as it was, many times Bob responded immediately, to correct
misperceptions, said Dr. Drescher, who is gay.
But Dr. Spitzer could not control how his study was interpreted by everyone, and he could
not erase the biggest scientific flaw of them all, roundly attacked in many of the
commentaries: Simply asking people whether they have changed is no evidence at all of
real change. People lie, to themselves and others. They continually change their stories, to
suit their needs and moods.
By almost any measure, in short, the study failed the test of scientific rigor that Dr. Spitzer
himself was so instrumental in enforcing for so many years.
As I read these commentaries, I knew this was a problem, a big problem, and one I
couldnt answer, Dr. Spitzer said. How do you know someone has really changed?
Letting Go
It took 11 years for him to admit it publicly.
At first he clung to the idea that the study was exploratory, an attempt to prompt scientists
to think twice about dismissing the therapy outright. Then he took refuge in the position
that the study was focused less on the effectiveness of the therapy and more on how people
engaging in it described changes in sexual orientation.
Not a very interesting question, he said. But for a long time I thought maybe I wouldnt
have to face the bigger problem, about measuring change.
After retiring in 2003, he remained active on many fronts, but the reparative study
remained a staple of the culture wars and a personal regret that wouldnt leave him be. The
Parkinsons symptoms have worsened in the past year, exhausting him mentally as well as
physically, making it still harder to fight back pangs of remorse.

Homosexuality
Therapy and Rehabilitation
And one day in March, Dr. Spitzer entertained a visitor. Gabriel Arana, a journalist at the
magazine The American Prospect, interviewed Dr. Spitzer about the reparative therapy
study. This was not just any interview; Mr. Arana went through reparative therapy himself
as a teenager, and his therapist had recruited the young man for Dr. Spitzers study (Mr.
Arana did not participate).
I asked him about all his critics, and he just came out and said, I think theyre largely
correct, said Mr. Arana, who wrote about his own experience last month. Mr. Arana said
that reparative therapy ultimately delayed his self-acceptance as a gay man and induced
thoughts of suicide. But at the time I was recruited for the Spitzer study, I was referred as
a success story. I would have said I was making progress.
That did it. The study that seemed at the time a mere footnote to a large life was growing
into a chapter. And it needed a proper ending a strong correction, directly from its
author, not a journalist or colleague.
A draft of the letter has already leaked online and has been reported.
You know, its the only regret I have; the only professional one, Dr. Spitzer said of the
study, near the end of a long interview. And I think, in the history of psychiatry, I dont
know that Ive ever seen a scientist write a letter saying that the data were all there but
were totally misinterpreted. Who admitted that and who apologized to his readers.
He looked away and back again, his big eyes blurring with emotion. Thats something,
dont you think?

8 ROBERT SPITZER, M. D. , residing at 7 Random Road ,
9 Princeton , New Jersey, after having been dul y
10 sworn by the Notary Public , testified as follows :
11 DR . SPITZER : I became interes ted
12 in a very controversial issue, which is whether
13 homosexuality can be changed . And my thought was
14 the way to best examine that is to get a
15 collect a group of individuals who claim that they
16 have made the c hange and then to do a deta il ed
17 interview in which they would be asked different
18 questions about sexual attraction, and we would
19 benefit from previous interviews that had been
20 done .
21 Our sample was collected from many
22 rel igi ous groups , contribut or sample , to the
23 sample . And the sample had one feature that was
24 notable and that is that almost a ll of the
25 participants were extremely religious , had
800-567-8658 973-410-4040

SA-123
Page 5
1 religious objections to sex of homosexuality, and
2 the concern was that this might influenced their
3 viewpoint .
4 Well , it turned out that there
5 were 200 subjects seen , and the vast majority
6 claim some considerable improvement in social and
7 sexual functioning . The study was published in a
8 scientific journal that specializes in articles
9 about sexual behavior and change . And it
10 immediately became very controversial because I
11 accepted the findings and argued that I had
12 demonstrated that some homosexuals can be changed .
13 The problem is I didn ' t really
14 consider -- and 1 1m kind of almost embarrassed to
15 note it - - that I really had a study in which the
16 design did not include some component in which the
17 credibi lity of the subject would be determi ned . I
18 didn ' t have a method of knowing whether someone
19 had really changed and, ther efore , if you don ' t
20 have a method for knowing whet her someone has
21 changed, how are you going to measure the e xtent
22 of change? That was -- it may well be t hat I
23 should have had an objective measure such as
24 plethysmography . But I di dn ' t have it , and I
25 wasn ' t familiar with the technique . And also the

subjects that I had were extremely religious would
not have wanted to participate in a study in which
they were asked to look at women . I had concerns
about the valid of the study, but I kind of told
myself that I could think of a way of examining or
seeing the study in a way that could be justified,
that is , instead of are these -- how can some
homosexuals change , I would change the focus of
the study to what do homosexuals who claim to have
changed, how do they describe themselves? So I
felt it bothered me .
And, finally, after an inter view
that I did with a former patient of one of the
people who is very prominent in giving this
therapy, he described how the therapy really
harmed him and led to a lot of depression, which
is a common f ind ing . And with that , I began to
feel that I really could not j u stify the study as
such, tha t it was misleadi ng a n d that - - and
finall y, I felt not only did I have trouble
justifying it , I had to ac knowledge that there was
considerable evidence from the study that some
participants in this kind of therapy actually are
harmed .
With those two facts , there ' s no

1 objective way of measuring homosexuality and the
2 fact that this therapy often leads to harmful

5 to apologize to the gays and to the patients for
6 presenting really a flawed study .

TRENTON DIVISION

TARA KING, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CHRISTOPHER J. CHRISTIE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-5038

DECLARATION OF LAURA DAVIES, M.D. IN SUPPORT OF GARDEN STATE
EQUALITYS MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND IN OPPOSITION
TO PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
I, Laura Davies, M.D., hereby declare as follows:

1. I am over the age of 18 and make this declaration based on my personal
knowledge. The statements in this declaration are true and correct and if called upon to
testify to them, I would and could do so competently.
Qualifications
2. I received my undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 1992 and
a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree from the University of Southern California School
of Medicine in 1997. I completed my residency in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and
General Adult Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School
of Medicine.

3. Since August of 2002, I have been in private practice as a child, adolescent
and adult psychiatrist. I have served as a consultant psychiatrist for St. Lukes Hospital,
California Pacific Medical Center, since 2007 and was formerly an Assistant Clinical
Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at UCSF and a Child Psychiatrist in the
Departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry. In that capacity, I supervised psychiatric and
pediatric residents, psychology pre-and postdoctoral interns, and medical students. I
also directed the Behavioral Assessment Clinic, which addressed ADHD, PTSD, and
other childhood psychiatric disorders.
4. I am Board-Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology
and am a Diplomate in the Subspecialty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I am also a
recipient of the Irving Phillips, MD Memorial Award for Excellence in Child &
Adolescent Psychiatry. A true and correct copy of my Curriculum Vitae is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
5. I have reviewed Plaintiffs Application for Temporary Restraining Order
and/or Preliminary Injunction as well as the accompanying declaration of Christopher
Rosik.
6. I have been asked to provide this declaration as an expert in psychiatry in
response to the statement by Christopher Rosik that there are recent, high quality, and
large-scale studies that provide empirical evidence consistent with the theory that familial
or traumatic factors potentially contribute to the development of sexual orientation
(Bearman & Bruckner, 2002; Francis, 2008; Frisch & Hviid, 2006; Roberts, Glymour, &
Koenen, 2013, Wilson & Widom, 2009). See Declaration of Christopher Rosik (Dkt. 3-
SA-131
134 of 236

4) at 18. Rosik concludes this paragraph with a hypothesis that same-sex attractions
and behaviors are one of the possible consequences of sexual molestation and abuse.
Id.
7. Subjecting minor victims of sexual abuse to sexual orientation change
efforts (SOCE) poses risks of serious harm to such victims for the reasons detailed
below.
8. Across the mainstream scientific and medical communities, there is no
longer any dispute about the following: Homosexuality is a normal variation of human
sexuality; it is not a disorder. The American Psychiatric Association declassified
homosexuality as a mental disorder as a result of significant research in 1973,
1
and the
American Psychological Association followed suit in 1975.
2
Numerous studies have
since confirmed that gay men and women can and do lead healthy, happy, and productive
lives.
3

9. There is no credible evidence that sexual abuse changes sexual orientation.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has concluded that there is no scientific evidence
that abnormal parenting, sexual abuse, or other adverse life events influence sexual

and lesbians in our studies were generally not distinguishable from their committed
heterosexual counterparts on measures of self- and partner reported relationship quality).

orientation.
4
The American Psychiatric Association similarly concluded that no
specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified,
including histories of childhood sexual abuse.
5
The United States Department of
Veterans Affairs has also concluded that [s]exual assault does not cause someone to
have a particular sexual orientation.
6

10. Christopher Rosik cites five studies in support of his statement that recent,
high quality, and large-scale studies [] provide empirical evidence consistent with the
theory that familial or traumatic factors potentially contribute to the development of
sexual orientation (Bearman & Bruckner, 2002; Francis, 2008; Frisch & Hviid, 2006;
Roberts, Glymour, & Koenen, 2013, Wilson & Widom, 2009). See Declaration of
Christopher Rosik (Dkt. 3-4) at 18. Rosik concludes this paragraph with a hypothesis
that same-sex attractions and behaviors are one of the possible consequences of sexual
molestation and abuse. Id.
11. In fact, four of the studies Rosik cites fail to support any connection at all
between sexual abuse and sexuality and the last one has fatal methodological flaws. The
purpose of the Frisch & Hviid (2006) study was to examine childhood family correlates
of heterosexual and homosexual marriages. Arch Sex. Behav (2006) 35:546. In other

words, the study sought to identify childhood factors that might impact a persons
decision to marry; it did not analyze factors that might lead a person to be gay or lesbian.
The authors also specifically warned against the misrepresentation of their study that
Rosik asserts: [O]ur findings should not be used incautiously to define childhood
determinants of sexual orientation. Id.
12. Similarly, Wilson & Widom (2010) state repeatedly throughout their study
that it does not imply that sexual abuse causes boys to grow up with a homosexual
preference. Arch Sex. Behav (2010) 39:72; see also id. (these findings do not suggest
that same-sex sexual orientation is caused by child abuse). There is also a serious
methodological flaw in this study in that the researchers evaluated fewer than half of the
original sample. In order to draw any reliable conclusions from studies of this type, a
researcher should have at least 75-80 percent participation from the original cohort or
must be able to identify the features of the people in the original cohort who were not
evaluated. This study did neither. The Bearman and Bruckner (2002) study focused
exclusively on opposite-sex twin pairs and reported percentages of same-sex attraction.
Peter S. Bearman & Hannah Bruckner, Opposite-Sex Twins and Adolescent Same-Sex
Attraction, 107 Am. J. Soc. 1179 (2002). Nowhere in the study do the authors mention
sexual abuse as a possible factor in same-sex attraction. Similarly, the Francis (2008)
study examines the hypothesized relationship of birth order and sexuality and contains no
discussion of traumatic factors at all. Andrew M. Francis, Family and Sexual
Orientation: The Family-Demographic Correlates of Homosexuality in Men and Women,
J. Sex Res. 371 (2008). The author concludes more research is necessary to distinguish
SA-134
137 of 236

potential causal factors and notes that biological theories emphasizing the role of genetics
on sexual orientation show promise. Id. at 377.
13. The only study that purports to correlate sexual abuse and homosexuality,
Roberts, Glymour, and Koenen, Arch. Sex. Behav. (2013) 42:16, has drawn significant
criticism for its severely flawed methodology. A published comment on the study in the
same journal that published the original article, for instance, points out fatal
methodological flaws, concluding that the study fail[s] to provide support for the idea
that childhood maltreatment causes adult homosexuality. Drew H. Bailey & J. Michael
Bailey, Poor Instruments Lead to Poor Inferences: Comment on Roberts, Glymour, and
Koenen, Arch. Sex. Behav. (2013). In addition, the authors treatment of parental alcohol
issues, childhood poverty, presence of a stepparent and parental mental illness as
interchangeable variables, is unscientific and leads to wholly unreliable results.
Sexual Orientation Change Efforts are not Part of the Established Treatment
Protocols for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse

14. While homosexuality is neither a disorder nor a result of sexual abuse, there
are actual psychological disorders that are clinically associated with sexual abuse,
including the DSM IV disorders of Major Depressive Disorder, Somatization Disorder,
Substance Abuse Disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Dissociative Identity
Disorder, and Bulimia Nervosa.
7
Childhood sexual abuse has also been linked to

problematic behaviors that do not constitute individualized DSM IV disorders, including
more sexualized behaviors than comparison groups.
8

15. When treating children for problems associated with sexual abuse,
practitioners have a duty to ensure that their clients receive the most effective and
appropriate treatment available. It is therefore incumbent on responsible practitioners to
select and employ mental health treatment protocols and procedures that are evidence-
based and have a sound theoretical basis for use with victims of abuse.
16. There are a number of treatment protocols meeting these criteria. The
National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center and the Center for Sexual
Assault and Traumatic Stress have issued guidelines (the Treatment Guidelines) based
on an effort to identify all protocols for the treatment of childhood abuse with a sound
theoretical basis, substantial clinical-anecdotal literature indicating the treatments value,
no clinical or empirical evidence indicating that the treatment constitutes a substantial
risk of harm to those receiving it, and empirical support for their efficacy.

concluded that 16 of the 24 protocols evaluated met those criteria.
10
Not one of the
treatment protocols, however, included efforts to alter the victims sexual orientation.
17. Even assuming that SOCE could achieve its stated goal (and the evidence
overwhelmingly suggests otherwise
11
), attempting to change a persons sexual orientation
is never an appropriate therapeutic response to sexual abuse. As discussed in the
Treatment Guidelines, it is imperative to repair the harm to self-esteem and self-worth
that sexual abuse can cause.
12
Any efforts that suggest the patient has the wrong sexual
orientation are inimical to this goal.

10
Id. at 99-103. For example, a protocol known as Trauma-Focused Cognitive-
Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) met the highest standards of the Treatment Guidelines.
Id. at 102. TF-CBT focuses on the patients conditioned emotional associations to
memories and reminders of the trauma, distorted cognitions about the event(s), and
negative attributions about self and others. Id. at 49. TF-CBT often involves
development of a Trauma Narrative, which has been shown particularly effective in
moderating fear and anxiety. See Esther Deblinger et al., Trauma-Focused Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy for Children: Impact of the Trauma Narrative and Treatment

Sexual Orientation Change Efforts Pose a Particular Danger to Victims of
Childhood Sexual Abuse

18. Although undergoing SOCE is potentially harmful to any patient, the risk
appears particularly acute for victims of childhood sexual abuse. The American
Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on SOCE has concluded that attempts to
change sexual orientation may cause or exacerbate distress and poor mental health in
some individuals, including depression and suicidal thoughts.
13
Similarly, the American
Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) has warned that SOCE may
encourage family rejection and undermine self-esteem, connectedness and caring,
important protective factors against suicidal ideation and attempts.
14
Due to this
significant risk of harm, including deaths, and the absence of evidence that efforts to
alter sexual orientation are effective, beneficial, or necessary, the AACAP has advised
practitioners that SOCE is contraindicated.
15
The Society for Adolescent Health and
Medicine similarly advises that [b]ecause reparative therapy is an unsubstantiated and
harmful option, it should not be considered or recommended for teenagers who are
dealing with issues surrounding their sexual orientation or gender identityRather,
providers[should] provide supportive counseling to promote self-acceptance and health
growth.

19. Sexually abused children are particularly vulnerable. They face
significantly higher risks of major depression and suicidality than non-abused children,17
as well as altered self-perceptions including helplessness, shame, guilt, and self-blame.
18
Subjecting sexually abused minors to SOCE has no medical or scientific basis and would
compound the mental health risks that this population already faces as a result of their
abuse.

I, Gregory M. Herek. hereby decl are as fo ll ows:
I. J have been retained by counsel for Proposed Defendant- Int ervenor Garden
State Equality as a consultant in connecti on with the above-referenced liti gati on. I have
personal knowledge of the contents of thi s decl aration, and i f call ed upon to testi fy, I
could and would testify competent ly to the contents of this decl arati on.
2. My background, experience, and scholarl y publi cat ions are summari zed in my
curriculum vitae, whi ch is attached as Ex hibit B to this report .
3. J am a Professor of Psychology at the Uni versity of Ca lifornia at Davis. In
1983, 1 received my Ph.D. in Psychology, with an emphas is in Personality and Social
Psycholob'Y, from the University of Ca liforni a at Davis. J was a Post-Doctoral Fell ow in
Social Psychology at Yale Uni versity from 1983 to 1985. J subsequentl y served as a
Lecturer and Vis it ing Assistant Professor at Yale Universi ty, and then as an Assistant
Professor in the graduate program in Social and Personali ty Psychology at the City

Uni versity of New York Graduate Center. I returned to the Uni versi ty of Californi a at
Davis in 1989 as an Associate Research Psychologist, and was appointed a tenured fu ll
Professor in 1999.
4. Two principa l foci of my ori ginal empirical research program are societal
stigma based on sexual orientati on and the social psychology of heterosexuals' atti tudes
towards lesbians, gay men, and bisex uals. As reflected in my curri culum vitae (Exhibit
B), I have published more than 100 papers and chapters in scholarl y j ournals and books,
most of them re lated to sexual ori entation, HI V/AIDS, or atti tudes and prej udice. I also
have edited or coedit ed five books and two s pecial issues of academic journals on these
topics. I have made more than 90 presentati ons at professional conferences and
meetings, and have given more than 75 invited lectures to professional, academic, and
community groups. I have received numerous grants for my research from federa l, state,
and pri vate ent iti es wi th combi ned budgets total ing more than $5 mi llion.
S. J am a member and Fell ow of the American Psychological Association (APA),
the Association fo r Psychological Science, and several other professional organi zat ions.
On two occasions, J have testified before the U.S. Congress about issues of sexual
orientati on on behalf of the APA and other professional societ ies. I have received several
professional awards and honors, incl udi ng the 1996 APA Award for Disti ngui shed

6. I currently serve on the editorial boards of nine professional journals and I am
routinely invited to serve as an ad hoc peer reviewer for others. Throughout my
professional career, J have peer-reviewed manuscripts for a large number of scientific and
professional journals spanning a variety of disciplines, including psychology, sociology>

1992 to 1995, and have served as an ad hoc reviewer of grant proposals for NIMH and
other funding agencies on several occasions si nce completing my three-year term on that

Committ ee or the Wayne F. Placek Award competition, sponsored by the Ameri can
Psychological Foundation, whi ch annually funded empirical research in the behavioral
and social sciences rel ated to sexual orientat ion. I was a member of the Committee on
Lesbi an, Gay, Bi sexual and Transgender (LGBT) Health Issues and Research Gaps and

Academy of Sciences in 20 10 to prepare a book-length report for the National Institutes
of Health on lesbian, gay, bisexual , and transgender healt h issues and research gaps and
opportuniti es. At the University of Cali fomi a, Davis, I regularly teach an upper-di vision
undergraduate course on sexual ori entati on and also have taught graduate semi nars on
this and related topics. My successful service in these vari ed capaci ti es has requi red me
to possess a broad, multidisciplinmy knowledge of theory and empiri cal research on a

III. Sexual Orientation
A. Definition and Description of Sexual Orientation
8. The t erm sexlIal orientation is commonly used by behavioral scienti sts and
mental health professionals to refer to an enduring pattern of or di sposi t ion to experi ence
sexual, affecti on<l l, or romantic desires fo r and attracti ons to men, women, or both sexes .
The term is also used to refer to an individual' s sense of ident ity based on those des ires
and attracti ons, behaviors expressing them, and membersh ip in a community of others
who share them. Most social and behaviora l research has assessed sexual orientati on in
terms of att racti o n, behavior, identit y> or some combinati on of these constructs,
depending on the specitic goal s of the study .1
9, Although sexual ori entation ranges along a conti nuum fr om exclus ively
heterosexual 10 excl usively homosexual, it is us ually discussed in terms of three
categories: heferosexual (having attraction pri maril y or excl usively to members of the
ot her sex), homusexual (havi ng attract ion primaril y or exclusively to members of one' s
own sex), and bisexual (having a signifi cant degree of attracti on to both men and

people: Bui ldi ng a foun dation for better understanding, as well as the entries on
" Homosexuality" I authored for The Encyclopedia of Psychology (Herek, 2000) and The
Corsini Encyclopedi a of Psychology and Behav ioral Science (Herek, 2001).

women) . Most adults in the United States are able to repon their own sexual ori entation
when asked to do so by researchers.
2
Among the small percentage of indi viduals who do
not report their sexual ori entati on in survey st udies, some may be unsure about their
or ient ati on or may be uncomfortable labeling it, but many are probably moti vated by
concerns about their personal privacy or, for those who are not heterosexual , fear of
st igma (a topi c addressed below)
10. In thi s declarati on, I use the term gay to refer to men and women with a
homosexual orientati on. I also use the term le.\"/);an to refer to women with a homosexual
ori ent at ion. I use the term sexual minoriry to refer to indi viduals who self-identi fy as
gay, lesbian, or bi sexual, or who do not so identify but nevertheless man ifest an ong0111g
patt ern of homosexual attraction or sexual behaviors with people or the same sex.
B. Homosexuality Is a Normal Expression of Human Sexuality
I I. Many earl y psychological and psychi atri c fig ures who studied sex uality,
including Sigmund Freud and Havelock Elli s, did not consider homosexuality to be
pathological However, the view that it is a mental illness achieved dominance in the
United States in the mid-twent ieth century, especiall y among psychoanalysts. In 1952, in
the first editi on of what came to be call ed the Diagnosric and Sralislical Manual of
Menial Disorders (DSM), the Ameri can Psychiatri c Associat ion class ified homosexuality
as a mental disorder.
3
Thi s cl ass ifi cati on, however, refl ected untested ass umpti ons based
on then-prevalent social norms as well as clini cal Impressions drawn from
unrepresentati ve sampl es of pati ents seeking therapy and indi viduals whose conduct
brought them into the criminal just ice system. Once researchers began us ing the
sCientific method with samples of non-patient, non incarcerated indi viduals to empirical ly
2 Some heterosexual survey respondents are unfamili ar wi th terms such as
"heterosexual" and " homosexual" but provide res ponses (e.g., normal," straight") that
indi cate they ident ify as heterosexual (e.g., Laumann, et aI. , 1994).

test the belief that homosexuali ty is an illness, evidence accumulated that many
homosexuals were psychologicall y healthy and that homosexuals as a group did not differ
substanti ally from comparable heterosexuals in their levels of psychological functi oni ng.'"
12. Confronted with empiri cal evidence that fail ed to support the illness model of
homosexuali ty, as well as changing views of sex uality and gender in the larger culture,
the mental health professions reached the conclus ion that cl ass ify ing homosex uali ty as a
ment al disorder had been incorrect. In 1973, the Ameri can Psychi atri c Associati on' s
Board of Directors voted to remove it from t he DSM, stating that "homosex uality per .'Ie
impli es no Impairment III Judgment, stability, reli ability, or general social or vocational
capabiliti es." The Ameri can Psychological Association adopted the same posit ion in
1975, and urged all mental health professionals to help dispel the sti gma of mental illness
that had long been associated with homosexual ori enlati on
5
13. Today, mainstream mental health professionals and researchers recognize that
(a) homosexuali ty is a normal ex pression of human sexuali ty; (b) being gay or lesbian
bears no inherent relation to a person' s abi li ty to perform, cont ribute to, or participate in
society, (c) being gay or lesbian poses no inherent obstacle 10 leading a happy, healthy,
and product ive life ; and (d) the vast majority of gay and les bian people funct ion wel l in
society and in their interpersonal relationshi ps.

C. The Origins and Enduring Nature of Sexual Orient.dion
14. The factors that cause an indi vidual to become heterosexual, homosexual, or
bisexual are not currentl y well understood_ Widely differing accounts of the ori gins of
adult sex ual ori entati on have been proposed but no single theory enJoys unequi vocal
empiri cal support . There may be multi ple developmental pathways to adult sexual
ori entati on rather than a single cause. Given the current lack of defini tive knowledge
about why some indi viduals develop a heterosexual orientati on, others become
homosexual, and still others become bi sexual, many social and behavioral scientists
regard sexual ori entat ion as being shaped by a complex int eracti on of bi ological,
psychological, and social forces They onen differ, however, 0 11 the relati ve importance
they assign to each.
15. Irrespective of the ori gins of sex ual ori entati on, most gay men and lesbi ans in
the United States report experi encing either no choice or very littl e choice in their sexual
onentati on. in a 2005 survey that I conducted with a nati onal probability sample
6
of
more than 650 self-identifi ed lesbian, gay, and bi sex ual adult s, for example, 88% of the
gay men reported that they experi enced " no choice at all " about being gay, and another
7% reported experi encing onl y "a small amount of choice." Onl y 5% said they
expen enced "a fai r amount" or "a great deal" of choice. Among lesbians, 68% report ed
that they ex peri enced no choice, and another 15% reported experi enCing onl y a small
amount of choice; only 16% experi enced a fa ir amount or a great deal of choice.?
6 Researchers distingUi sh between probabi lity and nonprobabilit y sampl es. For
purposes of thi s decl arat ion, the most relevant di fference is that res ult s obtained from
probabili ty sampl es (which are somet imes referred to as r epl'esel1lalive samples) can be
generali zed to the larger popul ation with a level of stati sti cal confidence that can be
calcul ated mathemati call y. By contrast, nonprobability sampl es (which are sometimes
referred to as convenience sampl es) do not permit such generali zati on beyond the
members of the sampl e.

Similarl y, in a survey I conducted during the I 990s with a nonprobability sampl e of more
than 2,200 gay , lesbian, and bisexual adult s in the greater Sacramento (CA) area, 87% of
the gay men and 70010 of the lesbians reported they experi enced " no choice at all " or
" very littl e choice" about their sexual ori entat ion.
8
J am not aware of empi ri cal studies in
whi ch heterosexual men and women were directly asked whether or not they chose to be
heterosexual. If such a study were to be conducted, however. I beli eve it is likel y that
most heterosexuals would report that they do not expe ri ence their own heterosexuality as
a choice.
IV. Stigm .. and Sexual Orientlltion
A. Definition of Stigma and Sexual Stigma
16. Stigma refers general ly to the negati ve regard and inferi or status that society
coll ecti vely accords to people who possess a particu lar characteri st ic or belong to a
particu lar group or category.9 1t const itut es shared knowledge about whi ch attribut es and
categori es are valued by society, wh ich ones are denigrated, and how these valuat ions can
vary across si tuations. A classic work in this area characteri zed it as " an undes ired
differentness.,, 10 Social scienti sts have long recognized that stigma is not inherent in a
parti cul ar trait or membership in a pal1i cular r o u p ~ rather, society coll ecti vely designates
some characteri sti cs and groups as undesirable, thereby " constructing" stigma. Because
stigma is sociall y constructed, it can change over time as social norms and mores change.
17. Sexual sfigma is shared knowledge about the negat ive regard, inferior status,
and relati ve powerl ess ness that society coll ectively accords to nonheterosexual behaviors,
attractions, identity, relati onships, and communiti es.

B. in the United States and
Experiencing Stigma Has Negative Consequences for Sexual Minorities
18. Despi te a trend in recent years toward less host ili ty and di scrimi nat ion against
sexual minorities, sexual sti gma persists in the United States. Nat ional opini on surveys
reveal that subst anti al numbers of heterosexual Ameri cans sti ll harbor negati ve attitudes
and feel ings toward sexual minoriti es, and sexual minority individuals continue to
experi ence reject ion, harass ment , discrimination, and violence. I I For example, In my
national survey of lesbian, gay, and bisexua l adults, 21 % ort he respondents reported
havi ng been the target of a physical assault or property cri me because of their sexual
ori entation since age 18. Gay men were the most likely to report they had been the
targets of sll ch crimes; 38% had experienced an assault or property crime because of their
sexual ori entati on. 12 In the same survey, 18% of gay men and 16% of lesbians reported
they had experienced discrimination in housing or employment because of their sexual
orientation. Harassment and bullyi ng of chi ldren and adolescents because of their
perceived non heterosexual or ientation or gender nonconformity is also widespread.
13
19. Sexual sti gma is a source of st ress, and experienci ng it in it s vari ous
manifestati ons has negative consequences for sex ual minoriti es. These include
heightened psychological di stress among both gay and lesbian adults
l4
and
Being the target of extreme enactments of stigma, such as an antigay cri minal assault , is
accompan ied by greater psychological distress than is experiencing a si milar cri me not
based on one' s sexual ori entati on.

20. Fear of st igma compels some sexual minority indi viduals to conceal their
sexual orientati on from others, whi ch is often associated with heightened psychological
di stress and has negati ve impli cati ons for physical health. Like heterosexuals, sexual
minoriti es benefit psychologicall y from being able to share their li ves with and receive
support from the ir family, fri ends, and other people who are important to them. Les bi ans
and gay men, for exampl e, have been observed to manifest better mental health to the
extent that they hold positive feelings about their own sexual orientat ion, have developed
a posit ive sense of identi ty based on it , and have int egrated it int o their li ves by di sclosi ng
it to others (such di sclosure is commonl y referred to as "coming out of the closet " or
simply "coming out"). 17 By contrast, lesbi ans and gay men who feel compell ed to
conceal their sexual ori entati on tend to report more frequent mental hea lth concerns than
their openl y gay counterparts and are at greater ri sk for physical health problems. I!>
2 1. To the extent that sexual sti gma and other factors
l 9
subject gay men, lesbians,
and bisexuals to additi onal stress beyond what is normall y exper ienced by the
heterosexual popul ati on, the sexual mi nori ty populati on may, as a group, IJlcJude a
somewhat greater proport ion of indi viduals who manifest some forms of mental illness or
psychological di stress?O In thi s respect , the sexual minority popul at ion is comparable to
17 Herek & Garnets, 2007; Pachankis, 2007.
18 Cole, 2006; Herek, 1996; Meyer, 2003; Strachan, Bennett , Russo, & Roy-Byrne,
2007.
19 In add it ion to sti gma, lesbian, gay, and bi sexual people face other stressors. For
example, because the AIDS epidemiC has had a disproport ionate impact on the gay male
community III the United States, many gay and bisexua l men have experienced the loss of
a li fe partner, and gay, lesbi an, and bi sexual people alike have experi enced extensive
losses in their personal and SOC ial networks resulting from the death of cl ose fri ends and
acquaintances; bereavement related to mult iple losses is li nked to higher level s of
depress ive symptoms
20 Consistent with th is observati on, several studi es suggest that, compared to the
heterosexual population, a somewhat larger proporti on of the homosexual and bisexual
popul ati on may mani fest certai n symptoms of psychological distress, such as symptoms
of anxiety or depression CHerek & Garnets, 2007; Meyer, 2003).

other groups that face uni que stressors due to prejudice and discrimination based on thei r
minority status.
2 1
Given the umque social stressors to whi ch they are subj ected, the
noteworthy fact is that the vast majority of gay men, les bi ans, and bi sexual s effecti vely
cope with these chall enges and lead happy, healthy and well-adjusted li ves
C. Self-St igma
22. Altho ugh most or all members of society are aware of whi ch groups a re
sti gmat ized, any g iven indi vidual mayor may not personally agree with or endorse
society's negative evaluation of any particular group. To the extent thal indi viduals
accept society's negat ive Judgment as a part of their own value system a nd self-concept,
they can be said to have imemalizedthatstigma. Tointernali ze stigma is to embrace
society's denigration and discrediting of the stigmati zed group. Members of the
nonsti gmati zed majority can internali ze sti gma, as can members of the sti gmal1zed
minority. Among the fonner, internali zed stigma is manifested as prejudice toward the
minority group; among the latter, it is mani fested as se!l_sligfJI a.
22
23. For a sexual minority indi vidual, self-sti gma involves accepting society ' s
negat ive evalualion of homosexuali ty and consequent ly harboring negati ve attitudes
toward oneself a nd one' s own homosexual deSIres. Such attitudes may be manifested as
a wish to renounce one' s homosexuality and become heterosexua1.
23
24. Because sexual mmority indi viduals are raised in a society where sexual
stigma is widespread, it is not uncommon fo r them to manifest some degree of self-
sti gma when they are first recognizmg their sexual ori entati on and coming out . Thi s often
occurs during adolescence or earl y adulthood. Overcoming sexual self-sti gma,
developing positive feelings toward oneself, and int egrating one' s sexuality with ot her

internalized heterosexisl11, and intel'/1alized IWl1Ionegalivity.

aspects of the se lf are widely consi dered to be imponant achi evements for a sexual
minori ty individual' s healthy development
25. Sexual self-sti gma IS generally considered mal adapti ve and often has
important negative consequences for a sexual minori ty individual's well -being.
24
For
exampl e, in my previously cit ed study of Sacramento-area sex ual mlllority adults, I
measured self- sti gma using a psychological scale on whi ch respondents reported their
level of agreement or di sagreement with stat ements such as " I wish I weren' t
lesbi an/bi sexual" (for male respondents, the wording was " I wish I weren' t
gay/bisexual") and " I have tri ed to stop being attracted to women in general " (for mal e
respondents: " I have tri ed to stop being attracted to men in general"). To the extent that
study participants agreed with such stat ements, they manifested lower level s of self-
esteem and more symptoms of depression and anxi ety.25
V. Sexmll Orienbltion Change Efforts (SOCE)
26. The phrase se.xllal oriel1falion change e.fforls (SOC) encompasses a vari ety
of methods, including techniques deri ved fr om psychoanalysis, behavioral therapy, and
rell gious and spiritual counselIng. These techniques share the common goal of changing
an indi vidual ' s sexual ori entati on from homosex ual to heterosexual.
26
Such met hods have
also been referred to by their practiti oners wi th vari ous other terms, including COl1l'el'sion
rherapy and reparali ve Iherapy.
A. Historical background
27. When homosex uali ty was considered an illness, many menta l health
professionals sought to " cure" it using a vari ety of techniques, including psychotherapy,
hormone treatments, aversive condit ioning with nausea-i nducing drugs, lobotomy,
electroshock, and castrati on. However, empir ical research fail ed to find that such
l-l E.g., Herek & Garnets, 2007; Meyer, 2003.

26 American Psychological Associati on, 2009a

SA-156
intervent ions cou ld reliably change homosexual indi vidual s into heterosexuals, i.e.,
individuals who are no longer attracted to their same sex but instead are attr acted to the
other sex and funct ion well in a heterosexual relationship. Rather, only a small
proporti on of indi viduals exhi bit ed any change in their sexuality, and it generall y fell far
short of becoming heterosexual. The interventi ons sometimes produced suppression of
homoerotic response (as Indi cated by self-report or laboratory observation) or they
reduced or eliminated an individual' s homosexual behavior. Some indi viduals developed
the capacity to engage in het erosexual intercourse after treatment, and some labeled
themselves heterosexual and even marri ed a partner of the other sex. However, these
changes were observed to occur in onl y a small percentage of the Individuals who
undertook treatment.
28 Once homosexuality was no longer cl ass ified as an illness, the rati onale for
try ing to "cure" it by changing an indi vidual ' s sexual ori entati on ceased to eXIst. Over
time, most practitioners stopped attempti ng to change sexual orientati on and some took
strong publi c stands against such efforts. With thi s shift, scient ifi c research on the
effecti veness of change int erventi ons declined dramati call y. Thus, most published
st udi es of cl inical interventions fo r changi ng sexual orientat ion appeared in professional
journal s whil e homosexuality was still cons idered an illness by most professionals.
B. Definitiomll and methodologic:lI considerations
29. For a psychological intervention to be considered effecti ve,27 it must be both
reliable and safe. To be reli able, it must be shown to have consistent posi ti ve effects,
that is, when correctl y administered it must achieve its intended goals all or most of the
27 A distinction is often made in the professional lit erature between a treatment ' s
ejficacy ( its abi li ty to achieve its intended outcomes under optimal conditions of delivery,
as during carefull y controll ed clinical tri als) and its effeclil 'eness (t he abi lity of an
efficacious treatment to achieve its intended outcomes under " real world" conditions,
whi ch often are not optimal) For purposes of this declaration, these terms are used
interchangeably.
13

time. To be considered safe, the interventi on must not cause seri ous harm to the people
who receive it.
30. In order to determine that an int erventi on causes a parti cul ar outcome to
occur, an experimental design is necessary. In general, the baSIC features of such an
experiment are: (a) establi shment of cl ear crit eria for assessing parti cIpants' eli gibility for
the study before receiving the interventi on (e.g., their sexual ori entati on); (b) random
assignment of parti cipant s to an experiment al group, e.g., assignment to ei ther a group
that receives an int erventi on (referred to as a treatment group) or a group that receives no
interventi on (referred to a() a control group); (c) establi shment of clear criteria for
assess ing the outcome (c.g., parti cipants' sexual ori entati on aft er receiving the
interventi on); such assessments shoul d be conducted in a manner that is free from
potenti al bi as on the part of the experimenter, e.g. , they are conducted by researchers who
are unaware of whether any given pal1i cipant was assigned to the treatment group or the
control group
C. E\'ahhlting rese<lrch on SOC E
3 1. Few publi shed SOCE studies have used thi s design. Aft er reviewmg the
research literature, a 2009 APA Task Force
28
identifi ed only six publi shed studi es that
used reasonabl y ri gorous experimental methods, and onl y one of those studi es included a
no-treatment cont rol group. (A copy of the APA Task Force' s report is attached to thi s
declarati on as Exhibit C.) Three additi onal studies used a reasonably good qllClsi-
exper;melllal design (i.e., they included compari son of di fferent treatment condi tions but
parti cipants were not randoml y ass igned to those conditi ons). Most of these studi es were
publi shed during the earl y or mi d-1 970s; all appeared prior to 1982.
28 In response to publi c debates about SOCE, the Ameri can Psychological
Associati on created a Tas k Force on Appropri ate Therapeuti c Responses to Sexual
Ori ent ati on whi ch reviewed the relevant research lit erat ure and issued a report . The Task
Force conclusions are summari zed below.
14

32. In their review, the APA Task Force noted numerous methodol ogical
limit ati ons of the research in thi s area. These included problems related to the
compositi on and recruitment of sampl es;29 attriti on over the course of the study;30
inadequate assessment of partJ cipant s' sexual onentati on;3] inadeq uate descripti on of the
interventi on procedures;32 uncl ear definiti ons of the criteria for judging " success" of the
interventi on;33 and probl ems with the timing of meas urement of sexual ori entati on aft er
the interventi on .34
29 Many studi es used very small , homogeneous sampl es, oft en consisting of well-
educated, White adult males and, in more rece nt studi es, hi ghl y reli gious individuals. In
additi on, some studi es included parti cipants who were reqUlred to undergo the
interventi on (e.g., because of an arrest or criminal convicti on). Because such indi viduals '
fr eedom may have depended on the outcome of the int erventi on, they would be strongly
moti vated to " fake" changes in their sexuality III order to be released fr om custody. Many
studi es have included both homosexuals and bi sex uals in the sample, a practice that
obscures whether sexual ori ent ati on change - if any is observed - actua ll y occurred
among homosexual indi viduals, or was limited to participants who already had some
degree of heterosexual attracti ons or sexual ex peri ence before receiving the interventi on
30 Many studies had hi gh dropout rates that compromi sed their validity. Such
attriti on IS especiall y probl emati c when the dropouts are di sproporti onately indi viduals
for whom the int erventi on was not working.
31 The Task Force noted that sexual ori ent ati on has not been assessed in a uniform
way across studi es. Some studi es operati onally defined it in terms of attract ion (using
self-reports or physiological measures), whereas others assessed self-reported sexual
behavior, and others assessed self-l abeling or ident ity. Some research report s did not
include any explanati on of how sexual onent ati on was measured.
32 Many of the earl y publi shed studi es included cl ear descripti ons of the
procedures, e.g. , researchers reported that parti cipants recei ved aversive conditi onlll g
over a set number of treatment sessions. More recent studi es, however, have coll ected
questi onnaire data from sampl es whose members parti cipated in differing types of
intervent ion programs, with some having undergone multipl e interventi ons. Detail s about
the specifi c procedures that were foll owed in each parti CIpant ' s interventi on(s) have not
been ava il abl e. Thus, even if some of the pa rti cipants evidenced change, it is not possibl e
to link it with a specifi c int ervention program or technique.
33 Judging whether a homosexual or bisexual person becomes heterosexual aft er
undergoing an lIlterventi on depends on how sexual ori entati on is operati onall y defined. A
variety of approaches have been Llsed to assess the outcomes of SOCE, all of whi ch have
important li mitati ons. For example, self-reports of behavior, attracti on, and identity aft er
(continued .. )
15

( .. continued)
the interventi on may not be valid if part icipants are highl y moti vated to detect changes in
their sexuali ty and to report "success." Intenti onall y or unint enti onall y, they may
selecti vel y perceive or remember feelings or behaviors that are consistent wi th sexual
ori entati on change, whil e ignori ng or forgetting feelings and behaviors that are
inconsistent with change. Obtaini ng reli abl e reports fr om an objective, t hird-party
observer is generall y not feas ibl e, simply because of the pri vate nature of sexuali ty.
Whereas physiological measures of sexual attracti on mi ght appear to be more reli abl e
than self- reports, they also have probl ems. Some peopl e can control thei r level of
phys1OIogicai arousal, whil e others are unable to achi eve sexual arousal in a cli nical
setting. Other factors, such as anxiety, can also influence the results of physiological
meas ures
34 Ideall y, sexual ori entati on is assessed pri or to the treatment mterventi on, soon
aft er it concludes, and then again at later times with one or more foll ow-up assessments.
However, long-term foll ow- up assessment has oft en been lacking. Many recentl y
published questionnaire studi es have not even coll ected pre-intervent ion data. Instead, the
researchers coll ected data onl y aft er the int erventi on was compl eted, relying on the
participants' recoll ecti ons of their past sexual attracti ons, behaviors, and psychological
states. In some cases, thi s required respondents to try to remember their subjecti ve state
more than 10 years earli er. Self-rep0l1s of current sexual desires and behaviors were then
compared to these retrospecti ve reports. An important problem with thi s approach is that
memory orone' s own past bel iefs, atti tudes, and behaviors is oft en unre li able. As the
APA Task Force report noted, such recoll ect ions are affected by many factors, including:
impression management (people are moti vated to present themselves in a favorable li ght
and thus report on the current sel f as " improved" compared to the former self) ;
expectati ons about change (when peopl e ex pect their behavior or state to have changed,
they are likely to report - and beli eve - that it has, even if thi s percepti on is not accu rate);
a need to j ust ify effort (perceiving results aft er expending time and effort in treat ment can
be a way of Justi fy ing to themselves the amount of ti me and effort they expended); and
changes in beli efs or goals (peopl e are especia ll y likely to distort their recoll ecti ons when
their emot ions, goals, or beli efs have changed si nce the time period they are try ing to
recall ). Thus, people who try to remember their past behaviors and earli er ment al states
otten make mi stakes. Thi s occurs even '.vhen they are unaware of the study' s purpose. In
additi on, research panicipants may be moti vated to intentionall y m1srepresent their
expen ences for vari ous reasons, e.g , because they have an ideological stake in its
outcome. In some questi onnaire studi es, for exampl e, most part icipants were acti vists
who were recru ited through "ex-gay" ministri es. Such pani cipants were li kely to feel that
they had a strong stake in the findings of the study, a potent ial bias that raises questi ons
about the validi ty of the data. Further di scussion of the methodological I imitati ons of past
studi es in thi s area are avail able in the Task Force repon .

33 . In recent years, several studies have been publi shed in professional journals
that report questionnaire data obtained from people who participated in var ious forms of
SOCE. These studi es are not controll ed experiments, however, and the data were
coll ected after the interventi on began (in some cases, many years after the part icipant
completed the intervention; see Note 34). These studies can reveal the demographic
characteristi cs of indi viduals who have participated in interventions, the extent to whi ch
those people say the intervention was successful, and the extent to which they say it was
harmful. However, they cannot demonstrate a causal relationship between participation
in the int erventi on and a specific outcome.
34. These and related met hodological fiaws were recently acknowledged by the
author of what is arguably the most wel l-known quest ionnaire study purporting to
demonstrate that SOCE can change the sexual orient ation of some individuals. In a 20 12
letter to the Archives of5iexllaf Behavior, Dr. Robert Spitzer took the unusual step of
expressing regret for havi ng published such a st udy in that journal in 2003. In the letter
he stat ed:
From the beginning, Ithe basic research question] was: Can some version of
reparati ve therapy enable individuals to change their sexual orient ation from
homosexual to heterosexual? Realizing that the study design made it
impossibl e to answer this quest ion, I suggested that the study could be viewed
as answering the quest ion: How do indi viduals undergoing reparative therapy
describe changes in sexual ori entation? A not very interesting question.
35. Spitzer then went on to discuss what he labeled "The Fatal Flaw in the Study:
There Was No \Vay to Judge the Credibility of Subject Reports of Change 111 Sexual
Orientation."
I offered several (unconvi ncing) reasons why it was reasonable to assume that
the participants' reports of change were credible and not self-decept ion or
outright ly ing. But the si mple fact is that there was no way to determine if the
participants' accounts of change were val id.
17
163 of 236
SA-161
I believe l owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven
claims of the efficacy of reparati ve therapy. I also apologize to any gay
person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparat ive
therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparati ve therapy works
wi th some "highly motivated" individuals.
35
36. The APA Task Force on SOCE reported that it found "serious methodological
problems in thi s area of research, such that onl y a few studi es met the minimal standards
for evaluat ing whether psychological treatments, such as effort s to change sexual
orientation, are effective" (Ameri can Psychol ogical Association, 2009a, p. 2) Based on
its review of the studies that met these standards, the Task Force concluded:
"enduring change to an individual ' s sexual ori entati on is uncommon. The
participants in thi s body of research continued to experi ence same-sex
attractions following SOCE and did not report signifi cant change to other-sex
att racti ons that could be empiri call y validated, though some showed lessened
physiological arousal to all sexual stimuli Compelling evidence of decreased
same-sex sexual behavior and of engagement in sexual behavior with the other
sex was rare. Few studi es provided strong evidence that any changes
produced in laboratory conditions translated to dail y life. Thus, the results of
scientifi ca ll y valid research indicate that it is unlikely that indi vidual s wi ll be
able to reduce same-sex att ract ions or increase other-sex sexual at1racti ons
through SOCE" (pp. 2-3).
37. The Task Force found that some indi viduals who underwent SOCE reported
receiving benefits fr om it that were di st inct from sexual orientation change, e.g., greater
soc ial support and increased opportunities to talk with others about their own struggles
related to sexua lity. The Tas k Force concluded that these same benefit s can be reali zed
through non-SOCE therapi es.
38. In response to the Task Force report , the APA passed a resoluti on that stat ed,
in part, "the Ameri can Psychological Associat ion concludes that there is insufficient
evidence to support the lise of psychological mterventions to change sexual orientation"
and "the Amer ican Psychological Association concludes that the benefits reported by
" S ' 02 pitzer, _ I .

participants In sexual orientation change efforts can be gained through approaches that do
not attempt to change sexual ori entation" (American Psychological Associati on, 2009b).
O. Reports of h:um related to SOCE
39. Although SOCE interventi ons have not been shown to reli ab ly change sexual
ori entati on from homosexual to heterosexual, evidence exists that they may cause harm.
The APA Task Force found evi dence indicating that some indi viduals experi enced harm
or believed they had been harmed by these interventi ons.
36
Earl y studies reported that
some individuals undergoing SOCE lost their capacity for any sexual response. For
exampl e, some indi viduals who were subjected to electric shocks or
drugs whil e viewing pictures nudes did not display an increase in attraction
to the ot her sex but they subsequentl y experi enced a signifi cant reducti on in their same
sex arousal.
40. More recent data from quest ionnaire studi es, as well as reports from
therapists, indicate that patients who " fail " to change their sexual ori ent ation may
experi ence shame, a general sense of failure , guilt, depression, intimacy avoidance,
sexual dysfunction, or even sui cidality.37 Although these data derive from quest ionnaire
studi es, clini cal case studies, and anecdotal reports rather than controll ed experiments,
they are important because they raise seri ous questions about whether SOCE may be
harmful to many who undergo it. Indi viduals who have suffered these and other negati ve
effects from SOCE are likely to be excluded from or severely underrepresented in studies
rel ying on samples recruit ed through "exgay" organi zat ions and SOCE practitioners (as
is the case with most recent studi es in thi s area).
36 The Task Force report provides a detailed discussion of this topic and an
extensive review of rel evant research. It is avai lable at

41. In li ght of the many reports of harm, the lack ofngorous studi es
demonstrating effecti veness, and the fact that homosexuality is not a psychological
di sorder that requires "cure," the maj or mental healt h professional associati ons in the
United States have adopt ed poli cy statements warning the profession and the publi c abollt
treatment s that purport to change sexual ori entati on.
42. For exampl e, the Ameri can Psychi atri c Associati on Board of Trustees referred
to the dangers associated with SOCE in its 1998 positi on statement:
part :
"The potenti al ri sks of ' reparat ive therapy' are great, incl uding depression,
anxiety and self-destructi ve behavior, s ince therapi st ali gnment with societal
prejudi ces against homosexuali ty may reinforce self-hatred already
experi enced by the pati ent .
"Therefore, the Ameri can Psychiatri c Associati on opposes any psychi atri c
treatment, such as ' reparati ve' or ' conversion' therapy whi ch is based upon
the assumpti on that homosexuality per se is a ment al di sorder or based upon a
pri or assumpti on that the pati ent should change hi s/her homosex ual
ori entation." (American Psychi atri c Associati on, 2000)
43. They suppl emented thi s positi on with a background statement that said, in
Psychotherapeuti c modaliti es to convert or "repair" homosexuali ty are based
on developmental theori es whose scientifi c val idity is questi onabl e.
Furt hermore, anecdotal reports of "cures" are count erbalanced by anecdotal
claims of psychological harm. In the last four decades, " reparati ve" therapi sts
have not produced any ri gorous sc ientifi c research to substantiate their cl aims
of cure. Until there is such research avail able, APA recommends that ethi cal
practit ioners refrain fr om attempts to change individuals ' sexual ori entati on,
keeping in mind the medi cal di ctum to First, do no harm.
44. Concerns about harm result ing from SOCE have also informed the positi ons
of the ot her major mental health professional associations in the United States, including
the Ameri can Psychological Associati on, American Counseling Associat ion, and
Nati onal Associati on of Social Workers_ Their poli cy statements cauti oning the
profession and the publi c about treatments that purport to change sexual orientati on are

the Ameri can Academy of Pediatri cs, Ameri can Sc hool Counselor Association,

raised serious concerns about the potential harm from such efforts .,,38
V. Conclusion
45. Although homosexuali ty is a normal expression of human sexuality, it remai ns
widel y sti gmat ized in the Uni ted States. In the course of their upbri nging, sexual
minori ty indi viduals often int ernalize thi s sti gma and consequentl y hold negati ve
attitudes toward themselves and their homosexuality . Although this sel f- st igma typicall y
dimini shes as individuals come out and devel op posi ti ve feel ings about their sexual
orientation, while it persists it is often associated with psychological di stress and
manifested in an expressed desire to stop being attracted to members of the same sex and
instead to be heterosexual. However, sexual orientation is hi ghly resistant to change
through psychot herapy or religious int erventi ons. Interventi ons aimed at changing an
individual' s sexual orient ati on have not been empi ri call y demonstrated to be effect ive or
safe. Indeed, such intervent ions may be psychologically harmful in an unknown number
of cases; clinica l observat ions and self-reports indi cate thatlllany indi vi duals who
unsuccessfull y att empted to change their sex ual orientati on have experi enced
considerable psychological distress. Moreover, because homosexualit y is a normal

variant of human sexuali ty, the major mental health professional organi zations do not
encourage individuals to try to change their sexual orientation from homosexual to
heterosexual. Rat her, individuals who experi ence self-stigma or who desire to change
their sexual ori entation because it conni cts with other beliefs and values can benefi t from
other therapeuti c interventions that do not have the goal of maldng them heterosexual .

Letler of Support - A.3371
.. the power of social work
On behalf ofthc National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey Chapter, and its over 7,000
members throughout the state, we support A-3371 , a measure that protects minors by prohibiting
cowlseling attempts to change sexual orientation. We thank Assemblyman Eustace for his
leadership on this important measure, We would also like to thank Assemblywoman Lampitt
and Assembl ywoman Mosquera for thei r cosponsorship of the bill .
The National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey Chapler opposes the use of
"reparative" or "conversion" therapies. These therapies are misleading and cannot <lnd .. viII not
change sexual orientation. Proponents of such lilerapies claim that their processes are supported
by scientific data. However, such scienti fi c support is replete with confounded research
methodologies.
Not onl y is there no scient ific data to support the success of reparative therapies, but these
therapies can actually have extremely detrimental effects on patients. Such treat ments can
potentially lead to severe emotional damage and dangerously deplete selfesteem.
The National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey Chapter supports professional
intervention at the individual level that helps the individual achi eve self act ualization. rather than
adjusting to existing societal norms. We encourage our members to use nonjudgmental attitudes
and to nurture practice environments for all individuals regardless of sexual preferences or
orientation. We specificall y discourage social v,'orkers from providing treatments designed to
change sexual orientat ion or from referring clients to practitioners or programs that claim to do
so.
The National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey Chapter does not support the practice
of reparative therapy. We urge the Committee to support this legislation, which would protect
minors from such potentiall y harmful treatments.

Good Morning,
I'd like to start my testimony by saying thank you to Chainnan Conway and
Assemblyman Tim Eustace for sponsoring this bill, and the rcst of the committee for bringing
this important matter to a hearing.
I am Dr. Jean Mercer, and) am a developmental psychologist, a retired professor of
psychology, and an expert on unconventional psychotherapies for chi ldren. I have published
several books and a dozen articles in professional journals that discuss the problems of using
unconventional, non-cvidcncc-ba'ied menial health interventions for children and adolescents.
I support the bi ll to prohibit the use of so-called "conversion therapies" for minors. I
would point out that these treatments lack the support of systematic outcome research. Thcy havc
not been shov/U to be either eftective or safe. They are implausible in that they disagree with
established principles and research evidence about human development. These are problems with
respect to the use of such treatments for adults, but are especially important when minors are
concerned.
The use of "conversion thcrapies, "or sexual orientation ",hange efforts (SaCE), with
children and adolescents pose[s] particular ethical problems. Minors cannot effectively refuse or
resist treatments wanted by their parents or other authorities, so the fiduciary responsibility of
those who make decisions for the treatment of children and adolescents is great. Adults making
such decisions need accurate infonllation, and in some cases need the help of the state to assist
in making the best decisions. An example is the requirement of the state that dairies test their
herds for tuberculosis and thus assure parents that no milk they choose to buy wi ll transmit tllis
discase. If a dairy claimed that its cows where tuberculosis-free when this was not the case,
parent'> would nOl be able to make informed choices about purchasing milk. and t his is why New
Jersey and other states have acted to make sure Ihat parental decisions are healthy ones.
Parents have the right to make decisions about their children's medical and psychological
treatment, but they can exercise this right only when they also enjoy the righl of accurate
informat ion about the choices they make. Unfortunately, proponents of "conversion therapies"
have not provided accurate infonnation. They have claimed that their treatments effectively
change minors' sexual and/or gender orientation, when there is in fact no systematic evidence to
show that such treat ments for minors are either effective or safe, and when in fact a number of
adverse events have been repot1ed in connection with the treatments. Because publications
supporting "conversion therapies" have been fraught with inaccuracies and omissions, the rights
of both parents and children to give their informed consent to an intervention have been
inrerfered with. Infonncd consent can be given only when a guru:-dian has been given accurate
228 of 236
SA-226
infonnation about the demonstrated effectiveness of a treatment, about risks connected wit h the
treatment, and about alternative treatments that may be preferred for various reasons. \Vhen there
is no evidence that a treatmcnt bas becn shO\"n to be effective for people like the proposed client,
guardians must also be informed of this fact. 'f these types of information are not provided,
parental rights to make appropriate decisions are violated. as arc the rights of minors to
understand and agree with thei r treatment.
If "conversion therapies" had been shown to be necessary, safe, and effecti ve, discomfort
associated witb them might be acceptable, as we accept a certain amount of discomfort with
medical treatments. Becuusc they have not, we m u ~ consider whether in fact these treatments are
abusive. When they include holding thcrapy or aversive methods, it is clear that the line defining
abuse is quicldy crossed if the treatment is ineffective. When no physical methods are used.
"conversion therapies" nevertheless meet criteria for emotional abuse by employing rejection. a
refusal to acknowledge the minor' s wonh or needs, and terrorizing, including verbal assault.
bullying, and creating nn atmosphere of feur by threats of present or eternal puni shment . These
treatments also resemble the " intrusivc parenting" that has been shown to have detrimental
psychological effects.
1 believe that passage of this bill will help to safeguard rights of both parents and children
to be safe from the effects of deceptive commercial speech and to make decisions based on
accurate information. l"hank you.

Testfmony of MOfdechai levovitz, Co Executive Director, JQY
in support of
A3311
New Jersey State Assembty, Trenton NJ
'''Iy name Is Mordechal levovitz. I come from a very rell9ious Jewish community and grew up in an
Orthodox famity. I have both personal experience with being sent to therapists as a minor to try to
change my orlentation and gender expresSion, and experience dealing with this issue as the co
executive director of JQY, a non-profit org that helps support lGBT Jews and thei r fami lies in the
Orthodox Community. I have seen and felt the harmful consequences of Sexual Orlentatlon Change
Efforts, and the riSks that this process jX)ses to minors.
When I was about six years Old my parents brought me to a therapiSt because they were concerned
that I was acting too feminine. I played \vith Barbie'S, wanted cabbage patch kids, pretended I was a
princess, and told people that I was really a girl. My parents, devout Orthodox Jews were horrified,
confused and embarrassed. lhey wanted desperately for someone to tell them that I could be
dlanged into a quote unquote boy". In their search for anS'o ....ets, they were told by religious
leaders and even some doctors that I was a and that "detecting" this early, Is
actually a good thing, because this was t he time (when I was six) that "therapy" could be effective.
Therapy to them, meant preventing me from ever tuming gay, and making me into a normal
masculine boy. So from the age of six J was sent lo Dr after Dr. in the hopes of curing me from my
"femininity'" and wrong gender identification.
Obviously these forced interventions did not end up working. I am now gay man, I am stiU feminine,
and sometimes I still pretend that I'm a princess. But there was one message that was made dear to
me when being sent to these therapists. This was that the 'professional mental health' opinion was
that there was something very wrong with who I was. f was made to feel by doctors that there was
somethIng wrong with me. I was made to think that for me to be healthy, I must play sports, speak in
a low voice, and keep my wrIst from going limp. I didn't want to do any of this. f was happy with the
way I was. But in the name of profesSional mental health and the licensure of the state, I was made
to feet shame and engage in a fruitless labor that left me sad and broken.
As I became an adult I promised that I could not stand Idly by while thiS happened to other youth. I
met other lG8T people who came from Orthodox communities like mine, many who also had the
experience of being pressured into so called "reparative therapy". We decided that we had to be there
for each other. We started a group called JQY. JQY Is a safe space where JeYI'ish youth can come and
feel support and acceptance for who they are. JQY now has over 700 members. As JQY grew, more
and more Orthodox Jewish youth came forth to tell their stories.
What I heard and saw were many kids being pressured by their parents, schools and other therapists
Into organizations like JONAH and Journey into Manhood, that promise to change gay people straight.
Often these minors were given ultimatums to engage In sexual orientation change efforts, or else thy
would be stripped of social pnvileges, or worse, kicked out of their homes, schOOls and communities.
231 of 236
SA-229
What was obvious is that there certainly was no real consent. These kids weren't just targeted for
therapy becaUSE of the rhetoric that early intelvention is the supposed best time to treat homosexuals.
They are targeted because they are easy targets. They have no choice, and they have no power. What
is worse, is seemingly nobody to protect them.
1 thought "Protection from harm" is the essence of professioni'll health intervention. And make no
mistake, Sexual Orientation Change Efforts, especially those forced on minors by therapists, can cause
real harm. The truth is that there is no best practice or standards for what is mistakenly called
"reparative" therapy. There are only therapists literally making things up in the name of this arbitrary
process.
JQY members report being pressured to do terrible things by their therapists in these efforts. Some
like Jon were asked to repeat biblical verses and punishments in therapy. Some were shown pictures
of AIDS victims and m(lde to read CDC statistics and symptom descriptions Of things like Anal cancer.
Those who were sent to weekends like Journey Into Manhood report being pressured into strange
behaviors like naked wrestling, name calling, forced red-rover, and the beating of effigies meant to
symboliZe ones parents.
More horrifIC were the reports from kids who ... -ere sent to an organization called JONAH, where they
were sent to therapists who pressured their clients to undress and touch their genitals in front of their
therapists. JONAH calls this practice "body and defends it based on mental health principles.
But their clients are left traumatized. They come to JQY depressed and sometimes suicidal. I \,Iorry
most about the ones who don't: make it to JQY. I kncw\! of to many young people who have taken their
lives after years of orientation change efforts that never worked, and caused irreparable harm.
I remember one of the worst feelings associated with being a minor In reparative therapy, was being
blamed when the therapy does not work. For the message was that you can only change if you are
truly committed to the process. It only works if you really work hard enough at it. 50 when it does not
work, the Implication Is simply that you didn't put the work in. Parents and schools get the impression
that the youth is not really serious about cllange. In fact, he refuses to put in the effort in that is
required. Because if not, he wouldn't still be gay! This causes the worst harm because it tears families
apart. It positions mothers and fathers against thei r children, and strips youth of the allies that they
most.
Honorable State Senators of the Great State of New Jersey, I currently work for the United Nations
NGO Committee for Human Rights. Freedom and rights are Important to me. I respect the rights of
adults who want to explore their orientation in non-traditiooal ways to engage in Consensual Sexual
Orientation Change efforts. I respect the rights of an adults to seek a mental health professional for
support in reconc!Hng faith and desire. However, sending a minor to a therapist to work on changing
orientation or gender identity is not a right. It is not consensual. It is not even an Intervention. It is
simply using professional licensure to ten perfectly healthy youth that there is something wrong with
them.
232 of 236
SA-230
As Toikko Kleppe from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner stated In an event at the
UN last month on SOCE. "Professionalized Sexual Orientation change Efforts aimed at Minors is a
violation of international Human rights." It violates our medical ethics of do no It violates
our values of informed oonsent, scientifIC integrity, professional responsibility, and any semblance of
acrountability. It continues to violate minors in my Orthodox community, and it viOlated me. Please
vote today to stop thIS violation. May we bulld a world where no mild is made to feel like there is
something wrong with them because of who they are.
Thank you,
Mordechal

Ryan Kendall Statement to the New Jersey A.ssembly, Thursday, June 13. 2012.
Before I begin my personal statement, I would like to ('.all t he committee's att ention to a May 6, 2013,
entitl ed "Opponents of gay 'conversion t herapy' bill in\'oke Jerry Sandusky's which seeks to
equate this legislation wjth pedophilia and labels it the "Jerry Sandusky Victi mizati on }\ct." I have
provided Ihe articl e attached to my statement. The reason I am calling your ,ltIention to this alticIe is
because it is instructive as to ho'" con..:ersion therapy is used in the political arena. Con\'ersion therapy is
Dot a serious attempt at somehow curing LGBT people; it does not serve the publi c good but instead
harms people. We know t hat being lesbian, gay, bisexual, ortransgender is not something to be cured or
fixed, and we know that LGBT people and fumili es are good and worthy just as t hey are. In this article,
Greg Qllinlan of New Jersey Family First invokes ancient slanders once popularized by people like Anita
Bryant arguing that LGBT are sexua l predat ors 0 1' peoophil es. and that sexual a buse causes
homosexuality. These disgusting falseh oods are no more than the repugnun t poli ti cs ot'll ate, and this
legislature ShOllld not traffi c in them. Time and again, articles like this expose the truth that supportel"S of
con\'ersi on therapy use thi s practice as a politicaJ justification to den)' people \vho a rc LOST basic chi!
ri ghts by arguing that sexuaJ orientation is somehow 11 choice. I no more chose. to be gay than yOll chose to
be heterosexual.
As a young teen, the allt i-gay prnctice of so-called conversion therapy dest royed my life and tore apart my
family. My pare nts sought (lUt the sen '; ces of a conversion therapist through an organi zation called
N .. \RTH. NARTH is a leadi ng purveyor of these j unk-science based therapi es lind is affi li ated with
JONAH, a conversion therapy organization currently being sued in New Jersey for consumer fmurl. In
stop the conversion therapy thai misled my parents int o believiJJg that I ('.Qu ld someho,,",' mode
st raight, r was forced to rUIl UWi'I)' from home, surrender myself to the local dep;lItment of humall
services, and legally separa\e myself from my family.
At the age of 16, I itlld lost everything. My family and my faith had rejected me, and the damaging
messages of conversion therapy, coupled with thi s rejection. drove me to the brink of suicide. For the next
decade I stnl ggled ....,ith depression, periods ofhornclcsness, and dn.lg abuse.
r am here toda}' as a sun;\,or of these practices in order to call t his legislature to action. New J ersey
already has stricllaws 10 protect youths frum bullying: It is time to enSure that mental health
professioMIs ca nnot bully LGBT yout hs through these abus ive practi ces. As I said i n the Senate, we would
not tole rate this type of practice for allY other grO\lP in society, We would not send black children to racial
con\'ersion therapy, women to gender cotl\'ersion therapy, or Christians to atheist conversion therAPY, .... ve
cannot tolerate conversion thernpy for vul nerable LGBT adolesce nts.
Conversion thera py i nflicts harm by sendi ng the message that there is somet hing defecth .. e or immoral
about people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trullsgender. Jt Just ifies discrimination by arguing that \"e
can and should change and do not deserve a ny legal protections. It misleads families int o belie .. ing Ihat
t here is something wron,!!; with their child or their loved won, Tragically, it hal'ms t he most ... "Ulnerllble
among us - cbildren.
235 of 236
SA-233
Today r Am asking you to show moral courage by sidi ng wit h the LGBT youth who deserve our protection.
I ii.m asking yOll to stalld against the forces of anti-gay intolerance. junk science, and d iscrimi nalioll. r
assure you that these ki ds are worth iI, and I know that they are because 1 used to be one of them.
This legislatu re has an obligat ion to stamp out discli mination, int olerance, and cert ainly child abuse. We
fi nd all three of these in the vile practi ce of anti-gay so-called conversion therapy. Please, send this bill to
the floor for a vote - it is the right thing to do. Wha! you do on thi s legislation today makes II statement
about what ki nd of society we arc and .... hat kind of society we wa nt 10 be. Please, do tbe right thing.
