I guess you never really knew any. Yeah, I worked with one, knew several others, had a cousin...all died.
Ask one, if he's honest he'll confirm what I've said.

But of course none of them told you what you claim, because none of them were “honest” ??
They’re miserable, utterly miserable, trying to cover it up with some fleeting thrills.

I don’t know if they’re miserable or not, certainly not happy to have an early death sentence, but one thing for sure...they all had a shrink.

This place is crawling with queers and moonbats...they creep up here from the cities. Markedly identifiable.

I agree that forcing people into some sort of program is not going to be successful. Some people have been through the programs and have benefited.
That’s about all that can be said. As another poster said, this is more or less like any other group therapy. The success rates on alcohol, drugs, and other maladies aren’t 100% or anywhere near it. Does the psychiatric association seek to do away with those too?

Answer this: Ask a homosexual if a straight can be turned homosexual. I'll bet they say "yes"...or they'll say that the straight was a repressed homosexual?
If they say "no" then they're forced to admit that the idea of homosexual sex is so unappealing that no amount of exposure or sex can make a straight a homosexual. That's essentially what they're saying about straight sex after all. That it's so abhorrent to them that no amount of exposure or sex can turn them straight.

You can be confused without being miserable.
Those grinning trannies, camping it up in the packer-pride parades don’t look like they’re suffering too much...they’re big attention whores....(at the very least)
Are smokers miserable? Just like fags they LOVE their butts. Most of them, if they really wanted to quit....already would have.

It seems to me ... if gays REALLY liked men, they wouldn’t be attracted to men trying their hardest to act like women.

Like any disorder, addiction etc of course some people can change. Thet just need to make the choice and have the will. They made a choice to begin with- acting on a desire, they can make choice later, not acting on it.........

Curious thing this question. Can someone who is a homosexual become a heterosexual.
Turn it around. No one ever does, but we see it every day. People living their lives normally - heterosexually - marrying, having and raising children all of a sudden deciding “hey, I’m a homosexual. I was born this way.”
Why is it such a threat to the homoleftists that someone might defect from their ranks? Or can and do?
Because sexual behavior is a choice.
It’s that simple.

Discredited by the APA....the same APA that took homosexuality off the list of mental illnesses due to pressure from queers.
Yeah, okay.

How about abortion of a gay baby? Is That ok
Years ago there was an article in Time about genetic science that stated that personality traits may one day be determined by examining fetal DNA. specifically, this article mentioned predispositions toward anti-social/criminal behavior and homosexuality as examples. If there really is such a thing as a "gay" gene or a "mean" gene all the pontificating and hand wringing from the ADA, CDC WHO, etc about "medical ethics" will not prevent the cat from being let out of the bag. Then it would only be a matter of time before a woman exercises her "right to choose" an abortion only because her doc told her the "unviable tissue mass" growing inside her may turn out to be gay. Or a serial killer. Or both (Jeffry Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, etc). Then see how fast pro-choicers become pro LIFERS.

I’ve also seen people suddenly decide they aren’t gay any more. 15 years...done. No particular reason anyone can tell.

There is considerable evidence that psychotherapy conditions people to be addicted to psychotherapy.
