Gay and Lesbian Treatment Centers?

Question by Kathryn Bauer: Gay and Lesbian Treatment Centers?
I’m trying to do some research for a paper in my educational psychology grad class. Are there such things as “treatment centers” for gays and lesbians to “teach them they’re wrong”? I’ve heard of such awful places in the past but when I tried to do research all I came up with was gay and lesbian friendly substance abuse centers. Anyone who can point me in the right direction-thanks! All I need to show in my paper is that such places exist…..I don’t agree with such places.
