The concept of sexual imprinting is actually proven. A disproportionate number of homosexuals and bisexuals were molested by the same sex, suggesting that’s WHY they are.
Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. Twenty-two percent of lesbian women in contrast to 1% of heterosexual women reported homosexual molestation.

Prevalence of sexual abuse of homosexual men ranges from 11% to 37%.
74 percent of bisexuals had been sexually abused as children.

Further evidence is the “try it, you might like it” LGBT demand. That kids have to be exposed to drag queens to accustom them to it and make it OK. That it is OK to pressure people into homosexual liaisons though they aren’t interested, that you might change their mind ... and convert them through LGBT therapy.
“Maybe he used the therapy as a guise to meet gay men.”
BINGO!
Yeah, conversion therapy is a-okay if it’s straight children at the hands of homosexuals or gender benders.
“the affected voice, flamboyancy in gesture and clothing, these are not genetic traits.
I suspect that once upon a time such mannerism were down-low clues used in public gatherings to scout potential fellow travelers.”
The affected voice, “effeminate” mannerisms/gestures, and clothing choices are constructs that are created by socio-cultural pressures.
Tell me - are you more likely to be attracted to a woman who wears make up and dresses, shaves her armpits and plucks their eyebrows, or are you more attracted to one that wears “mom jeans”, doesn’t put on make up, doesn’t shave her armpits or pluck her unibrow?
It’s social conditioning to attract a mate, simple as that. The signaling you are talking about is universal among humans.
Some people think that transgenderism is a social contigation.
Perhaps homosexuality is a social contigation also?
A guy who worked with homosexual counseling his entire career wrote a book about it. He said there were homosexuals who could not change, but that many could. And for some, it was totally optional. IOW, a continuum from “not possible” to “totally optional”.
His goal was to help them with THEIR goals. If it wasn’t going to be possible for them to change, then he would try to help them to adjust to their lives as is. But in treating thousands over decades, the important thing was that there was a continuum. As simple as “Not today” for some, to those who would not find it possible.
Exactly. So, there is no need for parades anymore. We get it.
And you believe them.
This is the 3982th response I’ve gotten :)
Glad I opened up the thread to such interesting discussion :)
The fact of the matter is that conversion therapy has a much better success rate than mental health interventions for anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc., all of which have quite low success rates.
Yes, we’re in agreement on that.
Forcing someone into a self-help program is not my idea of a good thing to do either. It won’t be successful, and it’s an invasion of people’s right to do as the please. (drunk driving/excepted)
I don’t agree with the lifestyle, but it’s an area where others could be forced into something too, like for instance political re-education.
