Ex-gay

The ex-gay or exodus movement is a movement, usually religious in nature, which claims that individuals may choose to change their sexual orientation from homosexuality or bisexuality to heterosexuality, with the assistance of counseling, prayer, and other techniques (see also reparative therapy). Most ex-gay organizations also target people who identify as transgender, on the basis that they consider such feelings or behaviour to be related to homosexuality, and/or express concerns that disassociating gender identity from physical sex also necessarily means disassociating sexual orientation from physical sex.
