Gay Therapy Ministry Designed To Cure Same-Sex Attraction Shuts Down A Christian ministry program that was put in place for the purpose of curing gay people of their sexual orientation has finally decided to close its’ door after 37 years in practice. via NBC News Former participants in a controversial program aimed at ridding people of their h*m*se*uality congratulated its leader for deciding to shut down its ministry, but other groups said there was a role for the “reparative therapy” used in the “ex-gay movement.” The Christian ministry, Exodus International, was founded in 1976 and claims more than 200 branches, churches and counselors in the United States and Canada. It insisted that people could overcome same-sex attraction through prayer and therapy. But mainstream psychiatric and medical groups have said that program, also known as “reparative therapy,” is not founded in science and can be harmful. The American Psychiatric Association said 15 years ago that it could cause depression, anxiety and self-depressive behavior in patients. In a statement, Exodus International, which describes itself as the oldest and largest group of its kind, said that its board of directors had decided to close down after a year of talking and praying about its place in a changing culture. We’re surprised this practice even lasted 30+ years given all the gay rights activism that has surfaced over the past decade. What’s your take on this, Bossip fam? Shuttesrstock
Who knew Swizz Beatz was actually getting “Arab Money?” As the CEO of MegaUpload, Swizz has got a lot of legal issues to face with the Federal Government, seeing as how they’ve shut down the music-sharing site. It’s quite interesting that an industry veteran could head up a site that provides free music of his peers. Not only that, but Swizz managed to get Chris Brown, Kanye, Snoop and other A-list recording artists to support the site with the Mega Upload Song . Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I had no clue Swizz Beatz was a man of many jobs and talents. Swizz is a modern-day Renaissance man, opening himself up to more than just music and allowing his passions to run deep in everything from fashion to art. As I began to research the multi-hyphenate mogul, I became increasingly impressed with his accomplishments. He’s the definition of ambitious and even though SOPA’s trying to bring down one of his latest ventures, Swizz will be just fine without this CEO title. So, take that SOPA. Check out the 9 different impressive jobs that Swizz is able to juggle and still wear the hats of husband and father. 1. DJ: This is how Mr. Dean got his start in music. He scored some deejaying equipment from his stepfather and uncles. 2. Producer: Swizz’s uncles Chivon, Dee and Waah Dean were CEO’s of the Ruff Ryder label and noticed his musical talents and allowed him to produce for their breakout star DMX. At 16, Swizz created the “Ruff Ryder’s Anthem.” 3. Recording Artist: Swizz was signed as a recording artist to Universal/Motown records. He is now signed to Everest Entertainment/Atlantic/Warner. He’s released a compilation album – Swizz Beatz Presents G.H.E.T.T.O. Stories – in 2002 and One Man Band Man in 2007. Haute Living is coming this year. 4. CEO: By 23, Swizz started his own label–Full Surface–with music mogul Clive Davis. He’s also the CEO of Megaupload. 5. Fashion Designer: As if the music was not enough to feed his creativity, Swizz accepted a partnership and brand ambassador to KidRobot, a retailer for limited edition toys, art and clothing. 6. Shoe Designer : The fashion bug bit Swizz and hasn’t let up. He lent his fashion forward expertise to Reebok to create a new line of sneakers. 7. Professor: Swizz taught a music industry course for a year at NYU’s Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music. He even held one-on-one sessions and had office hours. 8. Vice President : Swizz is the VP of Creative Design and Global Marketing for luxury carmaker Lotus. He collaborated with Lotus CEO Dany Bahar to create the look for the sparkling chrome-painted Lotus Evora GTE. 9. Painter : As an art enthusiast, Swizz collects works of legendary artists like Basquiat, Ernie Barnes and Keith Haring. He’s also an artist in his own right and paints in whatever free time he can find. He sells his masterpieces and donates the proceeds to the Children’s Cancer and Blood Foundation.
