Albert Dean Byrd (1948 – 4 April 2012)[3] was a former president of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH),[4] a research organization that advocates sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE). He was a psychologist who focused on SOCE, and wrote on the topic. Although raised by a Buddhist mother and a Baptist father, Byrd converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and was very active in the debate within the church on issues involving homosexuality.[5]
