"Same-sex Attraction Syndrome".
BTW, that "forgetting pill" really exists. My neighbor's young son had to undergo an excruciatingly painful medical procedure (why they couldn't numb the pain in the first place I don't know), and they gave him the pill afterwards so that he wouldn't remember the ordeal. It's not a "suppressed memory"--he really doesn't remember, apparently. It must be the same as not remembering the pain of childbirth or what an orgasm feels like (you can describe it, but you can't make yourself conjure up the feeling even a minute after you have one).
Where were we? Oh, yes, "SASS". Opinions, anyone?

OK, if you missed the episode, a private mininistry was calling homosexuality "SSAS" to re-classify it as a treatable disease like alcoholism, with the argument that if their $40,000 program didn't "cure" you of SSAS, then it must be your fault for not trying hard enough, not theirs because it wasn't treatable in the first place. Alan and Denny won for the plaintiff (Henry Gibson).

You're right, it was "SSAD" (in more ways than one). When you reach a certain age, forgetting things comes automatically, without having to take a pill. Like remembering NOT to double-click the Submit button....

Actually it was SSAD Same Sex Attraction Disorder.
What a great episode of my favorite show!
I went through a healing process like this a couple of decades ago....the good news is it doesn't work!

Sounds like some sick and perverted medical procedure that Boston Legal is exploiting. I'd be wary of their sponsors.
That kind of inflammatory and dangerous information given during and "entertainment" program is simply hazardous in reality.

I wish someone *would* take those ex-gay "ministries" and "therapists" to court for breach of contract!
