一些保守基督徒积极鼓吹同性恋可治疗，并举出一些因“治疗”同性恋者而臭名昭著的基督教组织提供的数据和见证来证明自己的观点。这些组织包括： Exodus International，Homosexuals Anonymous，Family's Love Won Out，美国家庭协会American Family Association (AFA)，National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH)，Evergreen International。

可惜这些组织非常不争气，其领导人和重量级工作人员在过去的30年间先后爆发多起同性恋丑闻。这些组织的领导人连自己都治疗不好，还好意思声称成功治疗上万病人？

1. Exodus建立者之一Michael Bussee和组织中另一咨询师Gary Cooper退出组织，并于1979年举行了同性伴侣结婚仪式。

    * Exodus International's co-founder Michael Bussee and his partner, a fellow ex-gay counselor, Gary Cooper quit the group and in 1979, held a life commitment ceremony together. Bussee went on to become an outspoken critic of Exodus and the ex-gay movement.[150] He flatly rejects therapies designed to change or "cure" gay people, but recently acknowledged potential for therapy that "does not promise change, but instead offers patients help in managing their desires and modifying their behavior to match their religious values -- even if that means a life of celibacy".[151]

2. Homosexuals Anonymous的缔造者Colin Cook，1986年被发现和他的“病人”有性行为，他声称给患者的裸体按摩是用来驱除他们对同性的欲望的。

    * Colin Cook, founder of Homosexuals Anonymous, was in 1986 discovered to be engaging in sexual acts with his patients. He claimed that the nude massages of other men should desensitize them against homosexual desires. In 1987, he was expelled from Homosexuals Anonymous for sexual activity, and in 1995 a similar scandal happened with his newly founded group FaithQuest Colorado. Cook had engaged in phone sex, practiced long and grinding hugs, and asked patients to bring gay pornography to sessions so that he could help desensitize them against it.[152]

3. Focus on the Family's Love Won Out的领导人以及北美Exodus的主席John Paulk于2000年9月被发现离开华盛顿特区的一家同性恋酒吧。

    * John Paulk, then leader of Focus on the Family's Love Won Out conference and chairman of the board for Exodus International North America, was photographed in September of 2000 exiting a Washington, D.C. gay bar.[149] This led to Paulk stepping down from the two organizations.[153]



4. American Family Association曾经拍摄过一部名为It's Not Gay的反映同性恋转变的电影，Michael Johnston出现在此电影中，他多次接受美国媒体采访，声称自己的性倾向已经改变。2002年，他被揭发多次和男性从事性行为，他本人也承认他在没有 告诉对方自己是HIV阳性的情形下，多次和男性发生没有安全套保护的性行为。

    * Michael Johnston, an HIV-positive man who is featured in the film It's Not Gay, promoted by the American Family Association, had frequently been interviewed on U.S. television and radio regarding his claimed change in sexuality, and even featured in a national television advertising campaign in 1998 stating that Jesus Christ empowered him to leave his homosexual past. In 2002, he was exposed as having recently resumed having sex with men, and he admitted to having had unprotected sex with multiple male partners without disclosing his HIV-positive status, despite knowing he that he was HIV-positive, for over a period of two years.[154]

5. 在NARTH和Evergreen International中担任改变同性恋的咨询师Christopher Austin因为性攻击一个男性“病人”，于
