“A person is capable of knowing what’s really important to him and can go beyond his feelings. When you want a candy, for example, you can resist and have it later. And you can trade it for a piece of chocolate.”

Alleged psychologist, Lena Wojdan, of the private, catholic Odwaga Center in Poland, using an odd metaphor to explain how they try to rid gays, lesbians and bisexuals of their “homosexual tendencies.” Reported methods of “treatment” include teaching men to play football and women to do the cooking.
