Ted Cox a freelance reporter, a former Mormon and very much a heterosexual, went undercover to report on the phenomenon known as the so called gay conversion where groups, affiliated or not with religious organizations, purport that men and women who are gay or lesbian can be “turned around” in their sexual preference there by through gay conversion can once again become heterosexual. That of course presuming that being gay, lesbian or bi-sexual is a choice rather than “being in the genes”.

Cox wrote the story for the Salt Lake City Weekly in Salt Lake City, Utah, but the newspaper dropped the story for fear of a lawsuit because Cox as well as others who attended a “Journey Into Manhood” seminar signed a “confidentiality agreement” prior to attending.

These “gay conversion” groups or ex-gays as they are sometimes referred to by the LGBT press and blogs have been compared to “snake oil salesman” and some in the LGBT press have reported men and sometimes women have been taken into these groups against their free will in the name of intervention.
