In response to Jim's question about methodology of the Robert Spitzer survey . . .
After Spitzer's study was presented and massively publicized, we had some correspondence, which included his graciously providing me with a copy of his presentation (which actually left a quite different impression than did the media hype). Shortly thereafter (and in response to queries I was receiving) I posed a synopsis and some reflections at http://davidmyers.org/sexorient/Spitzer.html To clarify his own view, Dr. Spitzer later wrote in an essay for the Wall Street Journal (May 23, 2001) that �To my horror, some of the media reported the study as an attempt to show that homosexuality is a choice, and that substantial change is possible for any homosexual who decides to make the effort. . . . In fact, I suspect the vast majority of gay people would be unable to alter by much a firmly established homosexual orientation.
