As I said these publishers have never struck me as above board to begin with since they are very willing to publish books like the one above so I am not surprised by them jumping on board self publishing or anything that might earn them a few more bucks for advertising to their slush pile.

The point was “to lose integrity” you have to have integrity in the first place.

They do not notice this is actually the play ground of some majorly fucked up assholes with fake PHDs out there spewing misinformation, lies, and Right Wing pseudo science bent on hurting people.

There’s a growing number of books like this, some of which are authored or co-authored by a douche named Joseph Nicolosi, e.g.,Healing Homosexuality and A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality. Sad to say, no matter how much the scientific community or American Psychological Association or gay rights groups try to counter all this dangerous fallacy with fact, there will always be a big (and usually “religious”) segment of the population that thinks homosexuality can be wished or voodooed away.

Sometimes ignorance is so entrenched, you can’t dig it out with a fucking backhoe.
