Thanks. I suspect that this happens more often than the pro-homosexual crowd would like us to believe.

It is only logical that a flaming past is the last thing a recovering homosexual would want to reveal about himself, and then only to a trusted few, to the hate-filled world.

I know that many have found their way to a positive understanding of their birth gender, and recover patiently over a period of time. I lived for a long time in a large city with a huge arts/gay community. From among my classmates and co-workers, I personally witnessed the crossover to gay -- and the crossback to heterosexual marriage and children -- of quite a few men and several women, especially when the HIV crisis hit. (I employed some gays in my business.)

After their tenth or twentieth AIDS funeral in a year, preceded by ghoulish hospital visits in which a strong 185-lb man could be reduced to an 85-lb skeleton covered with fungus and purple lesions, many homosexuals of my acquaintance gave the matter some serious thought and made a rational decision to "be transformed by the renewing of their minds."

I'm speaking mainly of the psychological gender confusion here -- I have not personally known any transsexuals; but started reading about regrets after the surgery in medical journals (our business had some medical companies as clients) since not long after the craze of sex-change operations ramped up in the 70s.
