The Gaily News: Undercover at the Bachmanns' "ex-gay" clinic

Plus: A link between sexual orientation and genetics

It's been revealed that the counseling clinic founded by Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann and her husband, Marcus Bachmann, performs "ex-gay" therapy, which is often discredited by the scientific and medical communities. John Becker, of the LGBT equality group Truth Wins Out, conducted an undercover report on the clinic, after spending a week undergoing the therapy.

A new UK study suggests that sexual orientation is determined at least partially by genetics. Researchers based their study on gender conformity in children, questioning a group of 4,000 British women, each of whom was one of a pair of twins, about their sexual behavior and attractions as well as their childhood gender nonconformity.
