‘My crayon gay cures are not nonsense,’ therapist tells C4 in lawsuit threat
Jerry Mugandze, a Texas-based neurotherapist who uses color therapy to 'expel gay demons', is considering suing the makers of Channel 4's documentary Cure Me, I'm Gay
A ‘therapist’ is threatening to sue after a UK documentary featured his theory that gay people can be ‘cured’ using crayons.
Jerry Mungadze, a Zimbabwe minister turned Texas neurotherapist, was featured in a Channel 4 film Cure Me I’m Gay.
In the show, gay British doctor Christian Jessen set out to experience ‘gay cure’ treatments offered around the world.
He meets with Mugandze, undercover, in order to experience his theory that children’s wax crayons could be the key in ‘curing’ homosexuality.
During the session, the therapist gave Jessen a picture of a brain and asks him to color it in.
‘Part of your pain is growing up like you don’t belong in your family, this is what the brown means,’ Mugandze said, as captured by the undercover cameras.
‘So this grey is seducing brown and brown starts agreeing whatever grey is, not knowing that grey is trying to steal your sexuality.’
Flummoxed, Jessen asked how coloring in a picture of a brain could possibly help ‘cure’ anything.
‘It seems that the therapy is analysing the different colors on my brain picture and then, over a number of sessions, working to change the colors until somehow I become heterosexual,’ the British doctor says.
‘As a medical doctor, I can’t see how you can learn anything about a patient’s hormones based on a colored-in picture. He’s just talking utter nonsense.’
Suprisingly, during the session Mugandze also admitted to being color-blind.
Mugandze now denies he is a ‘gay cure’ therapist and is consulting his lawyers after he received hate mail.
‘These people they are not going to hurt my business. I don’t work with them,’ he told Dallas Morning News.
‘I am not a gay therapist. I see all kinds of people all day long. These people for whatever reason are attacking me.’
He added: ‘My job is to heal people, not to teach them how to behave morally or spiritually. I don’t want to get side-tracked with that.
‘The people who want to come to me for help will always come. If I sue these people it will be to make sure they do responsible things, not because I want to prove something.’
While Mugandze said he was not a ‘gay conversion’ therapist, he stressed does not believe people are ‘born gay’.
‘If anyone says people are born this way, they would have a hard time convincing the scientific world of that,’ he said.
‘But I’ve never made homosexuality an issue in therapy.’
Gay Star News has asked Channel 4 and production company Optomen for a response.
The majority of mainstream health organizations are opposed to ‘gay cure’ therapies, describing it as dangerous for a person’s mental health.
I saw this show and some of the so called "cures" were insane, but all are totally legal.

I think I was most appalled to learn that aversion therapy was still available in our NHS until the 1980s

I grew up in Zimbabwe… This 'Doctor's' cure method is just as ridiculous as the Govt's policy on pretty much anything (including gays)
-
I watched the show and honestly think Dr Christian deserves a medal for putting himself through some of that stuff. I was shocked to see that sort of thing existed…. Now in the USA I knew things like this happened but in the UK?
It actually upsets me when people say they don't want to be gay any more. I hate to think of some of the horrific treatments in that show that are not going to cure your gayness.... they are only going to make you sick and even worse some of them could kill you.

So, I can 'blame' my gayness on early exposure to NFL Minnesota Vikings because primary team color is purple?? :afr:
-
I can't believe this people even exist.
