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.
