Evergreen attempts. Shouldn't this criticism be located there and then

This article is written in a tone that seems to agree that
Evergreen's claims and approaches are correct. It also shows the bias of a currently practicing member of the LDS church in terms of vocabulary. This is something a lot of Mormon articles suffer from. Example: use of "the Church," instead of

It also never claims sexual orientation can ever be changed. It is very clear its goal is to "diminish same-sex attractions and overcome homosexual behavior," which is completely different from changing orientation. It does however provide links to a variety of resources, including those mentioned

The medical organization statements are irrelevant to
Evergreen, because they only talk about therapies that view homosexuality as a mental disorder. By that definition, gender-affirmation and context specific therapy are not considered reparative therapies. Evergreen never talks about whether it

Evergreen does. How about some mention to the fact that most reputable medical associations feel that repairitive therapy as possably doing more harm then good. The fact that the article claims that evergreen does not perform

Perhaps it would be simpler to write that
Evergreen does not presently advocate reparative therapy, and just include a section relating Evergreen's history of reparative therapy. Such an article would contain first-hand accounts of induced vomiting as a form of 'aversion therapy', (severe genital

For better neutrality, phrases like, "Evergreen says that people can be successful at diminishing . . ." should be rewritten "Evergreen claims that . . ." and so on. In general, the article reads like a pamphlet used to convince a potential client to join up. The introduction area should contain

I appreciate
Richman9 & Hypernick1980's concerns of neutrality, however the article now blatantly contradicts itself. The article states that Evergreen "does not offer therapy, either psycho- or reparative therapy". Later we have a whole section talking about controversy of reparative

Evergreen's success rate are based on a handful of verbal interviews, a section on controversy or incidences of failure would be helpful to present a more complete picture.

Statements about whether sexual orientation is changeable are also irrelevant to
Evergreen, since their mission is only to diminish attractions, not change orientation. Other statements, especially from Just the Facts, are completely taken out of
