Bwahahahaha ... do you think there are any homosexuals who turn their lievs around and stop being homosexuals or at the very least stop practicing homosexual behavior because they have sought and received psychological or religious help?

** ** *****

Yes I do, a man who was in the homosexual lifestyle underwent treatment and continues in therapy as part of a child custody case. His motivation was 1. he wanted to change for himself. 2. he wanted to change as a good example to his two children. 3. he wanted to be able to have a normal life with his children. Yes there were multiple complications but what child custody case is not complicated or fraught with landmines.

Before you say he did it just to jump through hoops. the children had their own appointed lawyer and there was a child protective services worker monitoring. If he ever falls off the wagon he will loose his children. The mother of the children was supportive of the move as it gave her assurances. It would not have been do-able without her cooperation. There were skeptics who asked the nature vs nuture questions, but the experts provided enough to convince the judge that change was probable.


The was about six years ago. Last I heard the visits were unsupervised and they were getting along as friends for the children.

I too have met persons who have turned their lives around--or I should say whose lives have been turned around through an honest relationship with Christ-- leaving the degeneracy of the homosexual lifestyle and the corrosive addictions inherent in the homosexual community. I wouldn't even laugh at such salvation of spirit or of life.

I was obviously not clear the way I posted the reply you cited. I was asking the poster to whom I addressed my reply if he believed such turnarounds are genuine. Homosexual activist do not count such turnearounds as genuine, as either the person was not 'fully a homosexual' (where have we encountered that foolishness ... the prenatal baby is not yet fully human!) or the change will be only temporary and done as a way to please someone else but the person will revert. Sadly, because too many Christians do not embrace these people who have such a horrific addiction to fight for so long, many do revert.
