Abstract	The titles of the reactions to this major contribution alone set the stage for further exploration of the issues regarding the hopes and dreams of same-sex attracted (SSA) clients in religious conflict and their therapists, issues of choice, and whether or not it is possible - or even appropriate - to depolarize the current debate (Gonsiorek, 2004; Miville & Ferguson, 2004; Phillips, 2004;Worthington, 2004). It will be impossible in this brief rejoinder to adequately respond to all of the reactants' superb thoughts and critiques, so we have selected a few core topics to which to respond. This article focuses on the dilemmas associated with working with SSA clients in religious conflict, the ethics of conversion therapy, whether "depolarizing" the debate can or should be a goal, and social-justice issues for therapists working with SSA clients.
