Watch the homosexual militants scream about this new study. Even a child has the common sense to see that homosexuality is a perversion. Now we have definitive proof that the behavior is indeed a chosen lifestyle. As such, do homosexuals deserve the special rights and protections they are constantly whining about? I think not.

[roaddog727]

Bugger them..... Oh, wait......

[matginzac]

Uh-oh - the jig is up!!! (Or is saying that too gay???)

[PreciousLiberty]

It was already clear that homosexuality isn’t genetic, since the adopted children of homosexuals are (IIRC) 70% more likely to be homosexual than the children of hetero parents.

That statistic (aside from the issues of abuse) is enough to warrant banning gay adoption, IMNSHO.

We’ll see how soon the MSM starts reporting any of the above...lol

Uh, oh.

Somebody’s going to re-education camp.

Sexual Orientation Can Be Changed

The entire goat population of Syria breathes a sigh of relief.

[stuartcr]

I don’t know anyone, that remembers the day they decided to become a heterosexual instead of a homosexual.

[manc]

the homosexuals(not gay) will no doubt denounce this as they have done in the past .

I have said this all along that homosexuals do it because they like sex with the same sex and that is it.

Not about love because I love my kids, dog but feel no attraction to having sex with them.

It is all based on their sexual gratification and what turns them on.

One thing this study missed was the majority are like drama queens who feel that society owes them something when it does not.

They are most certainly paranoid and clearly need to seek mental help, the sad part is that some shrinks tell them that they are alright because they too are messed up and see other shrinks..

It should be the way it is and call it what it is.

a sexual perversion

Would you be pleased if your daughter married an ex-homosexual?

[mbarker12474]

Forty percent of homosexual adolescents report suicidal histories..... Homosexuals are more likely than heterosexuals to have mental-health concerns, such as eating disorders, personality disorders, paranoia, depression and anxiety.

Etc.

Seems to me that in many cases homosexuality is one symptom (amongst many) of severe emotional trauma. It is a coping mechanism. Ergo, for society to normalize homosexuality and declare it to be healthy, wholesome, normal, and natural does the homosexual no favors.

This is perhaps the saddest aspect of the entire homosexual conflict. Homosexuals delude themselves that they are happy when they are not, and society reinforces their delusion. In the mean time, the underlying trauma is ignored for the sake of normalizing homosexuality.

By the way, the APS denies that homosexuals are more likely than others to experience other psychological disorders.

Nobody is doing homosexuals any favors by telling them they are okay and normal.

[Antoninus]

Anyone who advocates allowing those with same-sex attraction to adopt children is advocating child abuse.

[TomOnTheRun]

If I had a daughter I’m fairly positive I wouldn’t want her marrying an ex-gay. Besides - most homosexuals won’t want to change their orientation through therapy and giving the state or any other authority to compel people to submit to therapy reassigning their sexual orientation is not something I want to see since heterosexual orientation can presumably be changed as well. Absent a state interest sufficient to compel somebody to undergo this sort of therapy I can’t see most people saying that any establish rights granted to gays should be revoked as it is now “merely” a choice.

[MrB]

The homos are simply being used by the anti-family forces of the left.

Yes, homosexuality is a perversion. And no one should be surprised when other mental illnesses and perversions (pedophilia) occur in homos more often than in the general population.

[redangus]

The interesting thing to me is that the militant homosexuals already know this. That is why they want in the schools, why they want to be Boy Scouts and youth group leaders etc. They are trying desperately to “make” more new homosexuals. If they can get to the children while they are young and seduce them and molest them and convince them it is cool and all right to be queer they can swell their ranks. This study proves that. If you can teach someone not be gay you can surely teach them to be gay.

When I was a kid (1950's) my mother, sometimes, would watch Liberace. He came on in the afternoons.

At age 7, I knew there was something repulsive about him, especially the way he talked....and at that age I knew nothing about the existence of homosexuals or anything like that.

A few years later, I noticed the same speech pattern in Charles Nelson Riley on "Hollywood Squares" and my friends began using the word "queer" and it all started adding up, but it was always repulsive instinctively I guess.

[Elpasser]

Interesting indeed.

I find it particularly galling that liberal psychologists will never encourage/treat an unhappy homosexual toward heterosexuality, but will gladly assist someone who is unhappy with his/her gender “assignment” toward a new gender.

Just don’t pass the smell test.

The first national TV figure to come out of the closet.

Percy Dovetonsils (as played by Ernie Kovacs).

One of his famous odes:

Leslie the Mean Animal Trainer:

Leslie worked in a circus
he worked in a great big cage.
He smacked the lions
and beat the bears
and put them all in a rage.
He kicked the lions with iron sneakers
and rolled up army cots.
He put cleaning fluid on all the leopards
and sneered when they lost their spots.
But a chimpanzee got even with him...
Leslie got killed by some smells,
when he stuck his head the lion's mouth
He had liver smeared on his lapels.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Wasn’t this a theme in Clockwork Orange? They tried to change the sado-masochistic sexual tendencies and fantasies of the main character through aversive therapy. Of course, that’s not what really happened, and in the end he was “cured.”

(And yes, I’ve seen the last chapter in the book, which gives a somewhat different slant on things).

[Paradox]

I think there are some “tweeners” that can, in fact, be changed, or whatever. On the other hand, I have know some gays who were simply gay from childhood. Physically even, as if it were some hormonal imbalance. As someone else said, I would not “trust” a former gay guy, a real swisher, to become straight, ESPECIALLY if that “Straightness” were religiously motivated, to be with my daughter. Some gays are just gays, more like transsexuals really. Just my opinion.

[randomgayguy]

This isn’t a study at all. It doesn’t consist of an experiment with study participants, methodology, measurements, analysis or results. Instead, according to this so-called journal — which I have a copy of — NARTH mined nearly 100 years of research on attempts to change sexual orientation. Of course, the vast majority of those studies were done when aversion therapy was commonly practiced, when many people sought therapy because they were convicted of homosexual offenses before Lawrence v. Texas to avoid jail, when few clinicians bothered to do any kind of follow-up, and when the APA still considered homosexuality a mental illness. Much of this paper is an updated regurgitation of several other articles already posted on NARTH’s web site.

Also, the so-called “peer reviewed” journal is not actually a journal. The Journal of Human Sexuality is actually a booklet published by NARTH themselves. In fact, it’s structured more like a book than a journal, with only one article whose title matches the title on the front cover. This journal is billed as “volume 1,” and was, according to its acknowledgment, conceived back when Joseph Nicolosi was still president at NARTH. At this rate, I would expect volume 2 to show up sometime in 2011.
