Go to Pfox’s site and you’ll see many thousands have changed from a “homosexual” lifestyle to a Heterosexual lifestyle. If there was a “gay gene” there would be no chance of being gay then straight! People are pre-disposed to all sorts of “battles” in their life. Gosh, I struggle with “worry”, does that mean I was born that way? My buddy struggles with womanizing...can he explain to his wife that he was born that way? Now we are justified in our actions? Now kids have to accept worry and womanizing and learn in school that it’s their right to act like that? Make sense? Come on, we all have our “secrets” we need to battle and this “anything goes mentality is total BS. People there are rules, etc or societies social and moral fabric will suffer!! Look it up...every country that falls loses all morals and values.

For the most part, the ex-gays I have spoke to all have similar stories of sexual or verbal abuse. Loneliness, despair and hopelessness drove them to homosexuality.

My comments were not about morality or judgment. I don’t really disagree with you; no reason to get defensive. :)

It may very well be true that homosexuality has genetic components. That statement is scientifically verifiable. That statement is also completely independent of whether to regard homosexual behavior as a normal expression of one’s natural self, or to regard the underlying predisposition as a chronic disease to be overcome.

I have a genetic predisposition for high blood pressure and obesity. This does not mean I let myself get as much weight as I can and eat the greasiest foods I can find. Quite the contrary, it means I must work that much harder to stay healthy and in shape.

As always, your genetic predisposition does not need to determine your behavior. Being predisposed to obesity does not mean you must be fat. Being predisposed to womanizing does not mean you must cheat on your wife. Likewise, being predisposed to homosexuality does not mean you must [CENSORED].

(Though personally, to be honest I really don’t care.)

INDEED.

This is boot camp. All is grist for the mill.
