He developed the Sexual Identity Therapy Framework and was a creator of the documentary I Do Exist, about people who say they have changed their sexual orientation. Throckmorton received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in June, 1979 from Cedarville College, an Master of Arts Throckmorton"s work on Sexual Identity Therapy was endorsed by psychiatrist Robert L. Spitzer. The purpose of these recommendations is to help patients make their sexual identity conform to their beliefs and values.
Spitzer later tried to retract his research that endorsed Throckmorton"s work by saying "The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more.”
Throckmorton has come out strongly against the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
In turn, former endorsers of his work, such as Scott Lively, have denounced him. Throckmorton has been involved in controversy over the origins and treatment of variations in gender identity.
"Even if science does determine differentiation in the brain at birth," Throckmorton says, "even if there are prenatal influences, we can’t set aside teachings of the Bible, because of research findings." Throckmorton subsequently argued that these comments were quoted "out of context". On his blog, he stated that people should consult physicians, specialists, and spiritual advisors in resolving their feelings.
If someone decides that sexual reassignment violates faith, then this feeling may guide their decisions.
Throckmorton has turned his attention to Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church in Seattle. He has reported numerous stories on the pastor and his church, and has extensively documented the controversy. He lives in Grove City,Pennsylvania.
