LGBT advocates are calling for the removal of a therapist set to lead the Air Force Academy's cadet counseling program, citing the shrink's two-decades long advocacy for the unscientific and harmful practice of "reparative" or "ex-gay" therapy, which aims to turn gay people straight.
John Aravosis at AmericaBlog broke the news today that the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., had hired Mike Rosebush, Ph.D, to serve as the chief of character and leadership coaching at the academy. Aravosis and other LGBT advocates were quick to highlight Rosebush's long-standing advocacy of so-called reparative therapy. In the position, which he has held since 2011, Rosebush oversees a team of counselors who work with cadets to develop strong character and leadership attributes.
