Programme on BBC 2 television, Tuesday, 9 August 2005, at 2100-2150 hrs BST.

"An inevitably controversial film tracing one man's quest to change his sexuality. David Akinsanya believes he wasn't born homosexual, but 'learnt' to be gay following his traumatic experiences growing up in a children's home, where older boys abused him. He says he's never found a satisfying gay relationship, and longs to have children. Willing to try anything once, he checks out one of the many centres in the US which believe, based on religious convictions, that they can turn gay people straight. This is the engaging, moving story of Akinsanya's visit there, and the insights he gains in the process. Unsurprisingly the Memphis, Tennessee, 'Love in Action' organisation doesn't prove to have all the answers."

I think this could be quite a harrowing programme.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
