I've read the entire thread. I don't know you, and don't want to, but I can tell you that your comments seem agenda driven.

Well, you're wrong.

The last word on the homosexual lifestyle has not been written. To assert that it has, is evidence of a fixed, illogical viewpoint. To label people [who have changed their sexual orientation] the way you have in numerous posts on this thread is not logic, in any way.

All I asked was: how to you know that they're speaking the truth? They may have changed their behavior, but have they changed their orientation. As far as I know, no experiment has shown that.

Science, including the science of the human brain, is still learning. For you to continually post that the brain is fixed in granite, instead of plastic and malleable at all phases of life is ridiculous on the face of it. Humans are omnisexual. A multitude of stimulants can excite sexual desire in homosexual or heterosexual people. Choices, habits, interests, social and legal boundaries all affect people.

Sounds like pseudescience to me. I don't know about women, but no amount of choices, habits, intersets, societal and legal boundaries could make men attracted to other men.

The worst fault of folks like you is to assume that humans BY THEIR NATURE must respect and act on every sexual impulse that crosses their mind.

I said no such thing. But if two peopel get together ant want to, let them, if it doesn't hurt anyone else.

My response: Just to let you know, I am a retired nurse. I don't know a whole lot about the human brain, but I do know some, and what I posted is not pseudoscience. As your arguments show, you are uneducated about the anatomy, physiology, functions, adaptation, chemistry, and physics of the human brain. Your ignorance causes you to ignore anything you know nothing about--to you, it doesn't exist.

Maybe after you have some real education, you can then talk about personality theory, sexual maturation, the effects of socialization on sexual expression, habit training, etc.

When you do have some genuine education, then perhaps you won't be so OBVIOUSLY agenda driven.
