NO! Just NO! A psychiatrist or psychologist goes to school for years to deal with mental health issues. I have yet to meet a spiritual 'leader' who has even a fraction of the type of education and experience that a professional doctor has. Spiritual leaders are often charismatic and as such attract the attention of many, bending their rational thinking to a personal interpretation of what they believe. They preach from a version of  a thousands year old document that they believe dictates how a higher power desired people to behave. How is this even rational?! Science and medicine has confirmed that being Gay is no more of a choice than being Autistic. DO NOT allow charlatans and charismatic 'leaders'  to try and change something in a child that is dictated by NATURE not NURTURE or might not even be there! Development is a wild ride of hormones and body changes that we only know a fraction of how it actually works. For a parent to find 'attraction' or 'love' or even a passing crush, an abhorent trait in their child is beyond comprehension. Would they love them less with no hand? With no fingers or ear? Would they take them for religious counseling to convince them that those missing parts are simply not true or that the higher power would want them to behave as if it were not so? Absolutely not. Let religious/spiritual people stick to positions of morality and values. DO NOT allow them to cause undo stress, harm and mental illness upon developing children who cannot control their feelings and emotions. Functioning adults barely do that now.
