I downvoted because the statement "It wasn't hurting anyone by being there" is wrong. Organizations and programs that advocate the ability to cure homosexuality are responsible for a lot of harm to individuals who are either forced into their programs or go to them willingly because they think something is wrong with them. These programs have caused or contributed to suicides among the LGBT community, so to say they aren't hurting anyone is just wrong.

A little recursive perhaps, but why on earth are people downvoting this?

Parent not only responded to the question directly and cogently, but even cited sources. I'm bewildered.
