Why do we try to change people's inner natures?

This is a highly disturbing article of what happened to a little boy who was punished for being himself, with the blessing of psychologists with their own agenda, and who later touted him as a successful case while making a career of proving homosexuality could be prevented. Read all the way through to the end, and you'll be disgusted with this whole situation, but particularly with a certain researcher. We'll never know if Kirk Murphy was gay, or just perceived as different as a child. But he was obviously a troubled man, and the beatings for effeminate behaviour, while they cannot be proved as the reason, surely didn't help. That they were done in the name of science makes it so much worse.

Therapy to change 'feminine' boy created a troubled man, family says

Kirk Andrew Murphy seemed to have everything to live for.

He put himself through school. He had a successful 8-year career in the Air Force. After the service, he landed a high profile position with an American finance company in India.

But in 2003 at age 38, Kirk Murphy took his own life.

A co-worker found him hanging from the fan of his apartment in New Delhi. His family has struggled for years to understand what happened.

"I used to spend so much time thinking, why would he kill himself at the age of 38? It doesn't make any sense to me," said Kirk's sister, Maris Murphy. "What I now think is I don't know how he made it that long."
