animus states that human are essentially bisexual. He also believes that these archetypes must be expressed in every human, and if it is not expressed, the person will experience one side of personality. This belief stirred my thinking. If Jung was right, would all humans have the tendency to be attracted to both man and woman? Would it mean that same sex marriages would be more common? This concept truly opposes the truth the Bible presents. While reading, I also began to ask if it was possible…

The reading for this week consisted of Tanya Erzen’s Straight to Jesus: Sexual and Christian Conversions in the Ex-Gay Movement. Erzen’s work is an ethnography of individuals at “New Hope”, which she states is the oldest ex-gay organization in the United States (Erzen, 2006). Erzen excels at providing historical and social context in her writing along with her ethnographic findings, giving the reader a well-rounded basis to form their opinions from.
