| | American Family Association October Journal's "I Want Out" explores therapy bans, culture wars, and loving solutions for families struggling with same-sex attraction, with commentary from IHF Executive Director, Christopher Doyle 
 Christopher Doyle is cofounder of VOTV 
and a licensed professional counselor. His training and past personal 
experience with same sex attraction (SSA) has uniquely equipped him to 
help heterosexuals who struggle with unwanted SSA. “Those who have gone through therapy on this issue tend to be in counseling for quite a long time,” Doyle explained to AFA Journal. “They typically have a lot of issues to work through.” After
 his own 11-year journey, Doyle has become determined to fight for 
others who choose the road of healing. He works to block legislative 
efforts to ban “talk therapy,” the term used to identify ethically sound
 methods employed by counselors and psychologists for helping inherent 
heterosexuals identify the causes and resolve the underlying factors 
that lead to SSA. Click here to read more.
