Dear Jesus, please make me straight

So I read today that Sarah Palin's church promotes "gay conversion."  They are publicizing a conference that pledges to be able to "pray away the gay."  I am unsure as to whether Palin shares this view, so I'd prefer not to criticize her personally (let's avoid another Obama/Rev. Wright situation).  People's belief in the power of prayer is not to be trivialized, but "converting" someone from gay to straight?  Really?  That seems a bit over the edge for me.  I can imagine the prayer circles now:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know that sexuality is variable.

Yeah, right.
