Online Directory for Sexual Orientation Change Research

Hi folks, I want to provide an online directory of good research into sexual orientation change. I know of a few good studies but I’d be grateful if you knew about any more that you could let me know (in the comments below or send me a message). Ideally I would like links to open access copies so anyone can come and read them. Submissions should be from both sides of the argument, but addressing the key issue as to whether sexual orientation changes over a period of time. These are the good studies I’m aware of so far.
