How should the Church counsel gays?

I was on vacation last week when the American Psychological Association released its report on "reparative therapy" for gays, but I did see the headlines declaring that "Psychologists repudiate gay-to-straight therapy."   The Wall Street Journal has a more nuanced account of the APA's report, noting that the Association said "that it is ethical -- and can be beneficial -- for counselors to help some clients reject gay or lesbian attractions." Get Religion has interesting analysis of the media coverage of the report here and here.
