They trade their sexuality for the acceptance of their –often-religious – peers. Unfortunately, they usually end up with neither.

No. They trade their perverted sexual desires for normal, healthy ones. It ain't easy, in fact I think it's harder for a homosexual to adopt healthy sexual desires than it is for a perverted heterosexual. (unless the heterosexual was into some really weird stuff).

Homosexuals (teenagers included)engage in destructive behavior not because people don't affirm their sexual desires but because they know that those desires are perverted and that's a frightening realization. If homosexuals and liberals really cared about teenagers struggling with homosexual thoughts they would encourage them to hold off labeling themselves a homosexual. Studies, cunducted by homosexual activists, show that the older someone is before they take on that label the better able they are to deal with the ramafications. Makes perfect sense but what do homosexual activists do? Just the opposite. They want to label kids in elementary school. I have seen homosexual curricula, pushed by groups like PFLAG, that suggest that elementary teachers be on the look out for children who they think might be homosexual so they can get the "direction" they need.

But reparative therapy doesn’t result in your “normal healthy” sexual desires. It results in no sexual desire whatsoever. I’ve been over this. Read #13, #29, and #49. Reparative therapy seems more designed for the benefit of social conservatives than patients.

It ain't easy, in fact I think it's harder for a homosexual to adopt healthy sexual desires than it is for a perverted heterosexual. (unless the heterosexual was into some really weird stuff).

I’ve never seen convincing evidence that change from homosexual to heterosexual desire is even possible. I’ve explained this before.

I disagree. In my opinion there is a correlation between self-destructive gay behavior and family background. The most well adjusted homosexuals tend to come from more accepting families and cultures. Obviously it’s more complex than this and correlation doesn’t infer causation, but I’d like to see more research done in this area.

I too have some problems with the way homosexuality is presented in the school system. The original goal was to stop bullying of gay students and prevent the suicide of gay teens. Those are noble goals.
