NEW ORLEANS –– An explosive new study says some gay people can turn straight if they really want to.
That conclusion clashes with that of major mental health organizations, which say that sexual orientation is fixed and that so-called reparative therapy may actually be harmful.

As, of course, you do. And that was the original point with which you took issue--that homosexuality and abortion are sacred cows to leftists because the agenda of the left is the destruction of the family (or, to please PC people like yourself, the "replacement" of the family as it has been known throughout human history with something they happen to prefer this week). And you call the viewpoints expressed here dangerous!!!!
I'm not trying to convince you. People who think homosexuality and abortion somehow make this world better can be convinced otherwise--but only by sad experience.
How interesting. The few gay men I have known had terrible relations with their fathers. Dads were either absentee, abusive, or alcoholics. I'm aware that my very limited acquaintances with gay men are not sufficient for broad generalizations, but they do fit nicely with the common perception that gay men are looking for love that they didn't get from their fathers.
Of course straights can go gay.
Anyone can change their behavior.
That was all leading up to my belief that homosexuality is a behavioral defect, not a genetic one.
prisons come to mind. Of course sexual conduct returns to normal afterwards. (I suspect that homoadvocates include inmate populations in their numbers)

I have also asked the same question, why do they get so much air time and all this "Gay Pride Week" etc.... I really wish they would all go back in the closet....
Is that mean for me to say that?
I, for one, welcome you... as long as you're truly here to learn and not to stir up trouble. The more you know (NOT feel) the more conservative your outlook will become.
By the way, words are not dangerous. Even ones you disagree with.
Hey taotao.....
Newbie, maybe you are confused by what website you are at!

Did kerry bend over backwards for the Nambla endorsement? Ooofa.
That's a powerful anecdotal comment. Does she go on to express a general opinion? She's a lesbian, no?
Are there any statistics?
But we wouldn't believe they had ever been werewolves, would we?
Your analogy seems flawed.
I think it's often an "imprinted" behavior, but yes, stop the behavior and meanwhile work on redeeming the mind and heart....
Are there any statistics?
Yes, she's a lesbian. No, she doesn't provide statistics. She was writing about risky behaviors for AIDS being promoted within the homosexual community. She follows up with:
The gay community must face the truth and see sexual molestation of an adolescent as the abuse it is, instead of the "coming-of-age" experience many regard it as being. Until then, the Gay Elite will continue to promote a culture of alcohol and drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, and suicide by AIDS.
What demonstrates the bias of the APA is Dr. Spitzer wanted to discuss his findings with his peers but they were not interested in the growing number of ex-homosexuals.
Whenever I have seen a millitant gay activist, they often remind me of a rabid dog, vicious and unreproachable.
