We re gist trying to give them support." Jodi Mai. co-director of the University l.GBA. shrugged her shoulders when she talked about HOPE The Oregon Citizens Allium e I eels it’s a choice, it s an illness Mai said It s has it human nature It's our nature. They are attempting to i hange somebody's human nature I i onsider that brainwashing." To provide an example, Mai talked about a lesbian friend of hers who had been "helped." Mai said it worked for a while Her friend got married and start ed a family, but had to take anti depressants to keep from com mitting suicide. Eventually, she realized that in spite of her tremendous effort, she still felt like a lesbian. She ended up going back to her old lifestyle. "Current evidence supports that counseling for curing* homosexuality may allow a [>er son to suppress it. hut it does not change who they are," said I.OBA office manager Sieve larvis. HOPE'S first meeting will be in Canity Ian 1,1. with meetings on the first and third Thursday every month. It is being coordinated by six volunteers, including family members of homosexuals and at least one ex homosexual Richard Weller, who was a homosexual for 19 years, said he was "recruited into it" when he was 17 years old. "I spent years trying to make d right and I couldn't make it right." Weller said "My goal now is to get the truth out." Weller, said. "You i an (.onto out of it and be a hap pier person We're not necessar 11\ trying to turn homosexuals into heterosexuals We re inter ested in helping someone who wants to est ape Weller lias been straight for a few years, but tie says tie has only been completely confident that homosexuality is wrong for a little over a year. He is now dedicated to helping others who, like himself, believe they were talked into a lifestyle they want to get away from. In November 1992. the OCA sponsored ballot Measure 9. which would have required Ore gon government to discourage homosexuality, created a con flict between Oregon conserva tives and the homosexual com munity over the issue of gay rights. The OCA. whose 1992 ballot measure failed by 5f> percent, has re-drafted the measure to make its wording less stringent and is in the process of gather ing signatures to put it on the 1994 ballot. 2M f AM FI FI H AVFNIIE I IK.ENE, OREGON iMH 14 l-MM
