Those of you familiar with the show know the premise, the superdoc Gregory House gets a weird case, and he and his team try to solve the patient’s often confusing medical condition.

Spoilers follow.

This time, the patient is a man who collapsed at the altar, about to marry his wife. Nothing strange, but House thinks he is faking his symptoms. Turns out he isn’t, but the theme of the episode is thusly established, the theme of faking. It turns out, the guy has been lying to his wife, and had a three year relationship with a guy, before going to gay ‘conversion’ therapy, where he was preached at, prayed for, dosed with hormones and subjected to ECT (electro-convulsive therapy), which it is later revealed was to blame for bringing his symptoms to light.

Meanwhile, ’13′, one of House’s team members, is bisexual, and she is troubled by the patient. She believes he shouldn’t be trying to hide or change what he is, and that he will ruin his life by lying to his wife. No matter, because House deliberately sets her, the patient, and the ex in the same room to discuss any shared symptoms, where it becomes clear that the guy has some difficulties in bed with his wife ;) Patient – “Every guy gets it sometimes!!!” Ex-BF – “Uh… we never had that problem…”

It is a good episode, worth giving a look to sometime perhaps?

Peace, out!

On Thursday, April 22 – 23, 2010, Alan Chambers, President of Exodus International will be the guest speaker in Northern Ireland on Thursday, April 22nd at the Leaving Homosexuality Celebration service hosted by Core-issues.

Core is a destribed as a ministry supporting local churches in their efforts to provide appropriate pastoral support for those with unwanted same sex attraction. The service recognizes God’s grace for many individuals making the journey out of homosexuality. Changing Attitude Ireland (www.changingattitudeireland.org ) has decided that the message given by Exodus International needs to be countered.

I am the founder of Truth Wins Out, an organization that debunks so-called ex-gay ministries. These are organizations that say one can turn from gay-to-straight. I am also the author of “Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth.”
What I propose is an entertaining and educational, hour-long multi-media presentation about the harm of ex-gay groups. The reason that I believe my presentation is timely, is because the President of the ex-gay group Exodus International, Alan Chambers, is coming to Northern Ireland to distort the lives of LGBT people. Exodus in the group partially responsible for the Anti-Homosexuality bill in Uganda. So, when they visit a city, bad things often happen as a result of their misinformation. www.waynebesen.com
