What an utterly stupid statement. Might as well say, "if you are fat you are fat." Or, "if you are pedo you are pedo."
If we are merely our biology, we are not human.
I agree 100%. I knew a guy a few years back who recovered from the gay lifestyle. He had a bad relationship with his father, and his form of rebellion was experimenting with homosexuality in his early teens. Long story short, through therapy he recovered. That was 30+ years ago. He’s a happily married man now with 4 grown kids.
Through his church he counsels gay men trying to leave the lifestyle and has seen about 80% success rate. He told me that nearly everyone of them had majorly screwed up childhoods
It's homosexuality that has never been shown to be biological or genetic. And, that is the one finding that would get published, yet it has “eluded” researchers.
There are individuals who do not want to act on their feelings, don't want to experience intrusive images and thoughts, and do not wish to engage in sex with members of their own sex. I've met many and referred them to therapists trained in this work. Modification and change is possible according to the feedback I have received.
The attack on this therapy is not justified. People who do not want to experience unwanted thoughts, feelings, desires, etc should not be precluded from seeking assistance.
O I C you are one of the folks who still believes being gay is a choice. Most gay people are born with that predilection. If they can be scared straight they weren’t gay to begin with. Gay is not a cult that you snatch so.short out of and bring them back to normal.
