Goes this mean they’re coming out of the closet they’ve already came out of or entering a new closet or should I come up with some double negative to insert here?

At least 2 of the guys at the Pulse nightclub denounced their homosexual lives after that event. I met with one of them; it was quite moving. He gave his life to Christ and realized the path he was on was utter destruction. The wake up call of the shooting was a shocker for them both and changed the trajectory of their lives in a great way.

Do US all a favor and stay in the closet. Not interested in your personal perverted lives.

As a heterosexual woman who is happily married; I would NEVER be with a man who says he is no longer gay. For men attraction is very much a physical thing. No way someone attracted to men are going to become straight. He’s lying to himself and to you.

That's the problem: they're "out and proud" and most of America is celebrating it.

If you had a homosexual son, would you not welcome his reversion?

I think she’s just recommending that no one marry him regardless of how sincere her son claims to be.

“In a video kicking off “Ex-Gay Visibility Day,” a panel assembled by the Ruth Institute — two of whom are former homosexuals”

You’d think that part of leaving the LGBT community would be to ditch the pink shirt and ladies’ frames.

I would not believe it to be true. Men are governed by the physical, but some women become “lesbians” for companionship. We have a friend like that.

Kind regards Leaning Conservative!
You might read some of the linked articles, especially the amici curiae brief here:

“Says he is no longer gay...”
That is not what they are doing. They are making a clear distinction between lust and duty. There is no lying involved in the referenced articles.

“He ... realized the path he was on was utter destruction.”

Yes.

“Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach. Their glory is in their ‘shame.’” -Philippians 3:19

Kind regards back! Question: if you were a woman would you want to be with a man who is saying he is going to be with a woman out of duty? I definitely would not because that is obviously not in his nature. A relationship like that just begs for pain and sadness for both the man & the woman.

Thanks!
Good question.
I am a pastor and have done some marital counseling through the years, not that much lately though.
But from that perspective I can tell you that the women who have done so are very fulfilled and happy, being Godly, even Christlike in their sacrificial service and loyalty to duty. Dr. Bob Jones Sr. the prominent fundamentalist evangelist of the turn of the 20th century and the founder of Bob Jones Univ. in 1927 said it this way, “You don’t find happiness looking for it, you stumble across it on the road of duty.”

Jesus said it this way, “It is the spirit that quickeneth. The flesh profiteth nothing...” Or to apply that to what you were saying, You must go against your nature, which is sinful, selfish, lazy etc. every time you do what is right.

I don’t necessarily disagree about caution for the girls. I would think rather that they should take guard against their own romantic blindness. Marriage ain’t a romance novel. If she finds a man of honor who will keep his vow and do his duty, she should count her blessings!
