Brian Nesbitt Survived 'Ex-Gay' Rubberband; Aversion Therapy

Brian Nesbitt grew up in a religious household. He went to NARTH-affiliated therapist Dr. Chris Austin (later convicted of sexually abusing clients).

When Brian couldn't change, Dr. Austin introduced him to "rubber band therapy." After this failed, Dr. Austin tried aversion therapy, using ammonia.

Brian escaped the "ex-gay" horrors and has gone on to live as an out gay man.

B-b-but, NARTH said that aversion therapy is harmless and healthy... Hm...

*Tries to work this out mentally*

OK, I have come to the conclusion that this man is a part of the gay agenda hired by GLAAD to defame NARTH! Ha-HA! Prejudice and bigotry win again! /satire

We should kill all the christians and then humanity will finally move forward.

[Wraith606]

Aversion therapy doesn't work for something like that.

[Cobra666Commander]

I agree, but you're simply joking.

Brian, your friends always accepted you for what you are. Even back in college. Babs came out to us. You would have been welcome too.
