Bob's story is of a boy who grew up with an older brother who was more athletic than he was. Bob was confused growing up as he watched his brother get more of his fathers attention and he longed to be loved in the same way.
Eventually, Bob married and had two daughters, but while married he found himself thinking homosexual thoughts and eventually entered into a 3-year homosexual relationship. About the time Bob broke off his relationshop with his homosexual partner, he noticed his ex-partner was slowing getting sick. It turns out his ex-partner had AIDS and died shortly after that. This was in the mid 1980s.
Unfortunately Bob got AIDS, too, and had to tell his wife and family how he got AIDS. Of course, and I'm sure you can imagine, this devastasted his family.
Still, they stayed together and their love for each other has grown beyond anything they've ever experienced. And Bob no longer has any homosexual thoughts.
There are many sad parts to the story, which offers insights and perspectives into the homosexual lifestyle never seen on TV or movies. The movie reminded me of our much needed compassion for homosexuals and how we have to reach them with the truth.
Bob is one of the tens of thousands of former homosexuals.
Yes we do need to have compassion for them, this reminds me of the APA and how they discourage any help at all for homosexuals and advise only encouragement.
There was an article posted a week or so back about the former president of the APA and how he stated that it was unprofessional of the APA to not support the help groups.
Did you catalog that link by the way?
