Can you “Pray the Gay Away?”

By Tina Alexander - bio | email

UNDATED – Can you "Pray the Gay Away?"  Whether or not it's possible to be gay and Christian at the same time is one of the most controversial debates in Christianity today.

Investigative reporter Lisa Ling examines that premise in a special report Tuesday night on her "Our America" show broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). 

One part of the investigation focuses on Exodus, the group that claims they can cure homosexuality.  While another focuses on The Naming Project which teaches kids that God loves them no matter what.

What do you think?  Do you believe you can "pray the gay away?"  Take our KTRE.com web poll.
