Great story and it's always nice to hear of someone making a change like that in life.
I am from the camp that people ARE born gay. My theory is that women under a particular kind of stress at a particular time of gestation causes changes in the hormonal makeup of the fetus/baby and causes homosexuality. Just my theory. But, I also look at it the same as, say, alcoholism. Most alcoholics claim this is genetic and/or a disease that they were born with the propensity to drink uncontrollably. But same w/ gays, IMO, you don't just say I was born this way therefore I drink myself into oblivion (although some do, many get sober--or repent). The same should be the lifestyle of gays. That they turn from this behavior and practice a life of celibacy or heterosexuality and not continue the behavior.
His article made alot of sense in that (even though he didn't directly say it) that it is completely unacceptable in the gay community to state you want to live a straight life. They go OFF on the Exodus group and anyone that talks of turning away or repenting from gay life.
Regardless, its a very sad life and he's right about the misery. I know several gays and they are all miserable. Every one of them. You cannot bond with the same sex like you do with the opposite sex. God didn't make us that way.
If a man (or woman) realizes the error of their behavior and truly turns their life around are they to be scorned forever because they were once sleazy and promiscuous? I've known more than a few heterosexuals whose behavior was deplorable from a moral perspective. What about them? If you knew that a guy had once been a party animal but had since found God and was now living a good clean life, would they be acceptable?
Bingo! You gotta wonder about people who define themselves in terms of their own sexuality. Superficial and narcissistic beyond belief.

Rejected Homosexuality

The former party animal can use maturity to outgrow his childish behavior and is MUCH more likely not to return to that former lifestyle. Additionally, the former party animal isn't nearly as likely as a so-called "ex-gay" man to infect a cherished daughter or niece with a horrible disease that is sure to kill.

The core of the problem for homosexuals is a mind-numbingly simple paradox, even though I would expect them to deny it vehemently. All they want is to have sex with a real man, but are forever doomed to settling for GBTs.
"My theory is that women under a particular kind of stress at a particular time of gestation causes changes in the hormonal makeup of the fetus/baby and causes homosexuality."
I prefer scientific statistics. For example, most practicing homosexual women have had an abortion before engaging in same sex behavior. Post traumatic stress disorders are probably what lead women to a defensive same sex attraction. Defensive, because to kill one's own child is a terrible tragedy. Many homosexual women don't stop being attracted to men (and are statistically more promiscuous), and I seriously doubt that "born gay" has much to do with such behavior. The human heart is always hungering for True Love. We will never find rest until we rest with God.
SSAD.
Perfect!
Well, they have tests for diseases, and one is quite susceptible to STD's including AIDs if you are a promiscuous heterosexual. Sometimes immaturity is the reason behind promiscuousness and/or immoral behavior, but not always. If anything, I would question the mores of someone who felt "party animal" behavior was just being "immature" or simply sowing wild oats before "growing up" as that implies an agreement with that sort of behavior being acceptable and/or excusable under certain circumstances.
Homosexuality, as with any obsession, is idolatry.
That is the source of the emptiness.
You told him you were flattered? Seriously? As a woman, I can't imagine the reaction most hetero men would have is "flattered".
BTT
He has for 10 years now. He's now a born again christian, with a wife and 2 children.
I think he rethought his life.
I would tell anyone that was sexually attracted to me that I was flattered, but just the same I would firmly refuse any offers.
Isn't this the First Commandment of liberalism?
The author has covered the homosexual facet of the left nicely.
Also, witness the collegiate mantra of "multiculturalism". American culture isn't worthy of all the others, so don't pollute yourselves by integrating with them.
Black, Republican and always deferred to in discussions of racial equality, Martin Luther King preached equality, not affirmative action. He called for all nationalities to live together in peace and harmony, not for white submission to Black Power.
And the eternal Champions of the Freedom of Speech, our illustrious news outlets and esteemed universities will literally react with violence and wartime treason in the face of speech and expression that disagrees with their progressive dogma.
The Left has become the very embodiment of hypocrisy.
I will give an entire paycheck to the first telethon that is devoted to searching for a cure for homosexuality.
This is just a temporary thing, this 'normalizing' of what is clearly a disorder.
Somebody's going to do the math and figure out that this is curable.
