Spitzer's Study

Robert Spitzer, Chief of Biometrics Research and Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, released a study in 2001 that said that some homosexuals "can and do change" from homosexuality to heterosexuality.
"Like most psychiatrists," he said, "I thought that homosexual behavior could be resisted, but sexual orientation could not be changed. I now believe that's untrue--some people can and do change.

MSNBC ran an article in June on how Spitzer's study is one of the most authoritative on the ex-gay subject, and how both sides in the debate try to use it to their advantage.

I'll be looking into this further. But for now, here is the MSNBC article, and here is a release on Spitzer's study by the National Association for the Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.
