Gay activists don't like it when anyone suggests that homosexuality isn't necessarily a permanent, genetic-based orientation worthy of minority status and consequent political clout. There are actually plenty of ex-gays out there (I personally know two formerly "decidedly" gay men who have been happily married to women for years), but they rarely get any press coverage or support.

There’re lots of ex- schizophrenics too, but that doesn’t mean genetics play no large role. I doubt many people, including myself, would be excited about an “ex”-homosexual starting a family with their daughter.

I've known gay men who were married to women also and they're still gay, always were and will likely be gay always. One's marital status has little to do with orientation. One may wish to live a so called Normal life and could go through all the steps necessary to achieve that but one can't wish away one's natural orientation.

Think honestly for a minute and think through how you might try to change your heterosexual orientation in your own mind. Very unlikely you could I would think. Those that say they have were most likely not gay in the first place and/or were bi-sexual or emotionally screwed up.

You know to gay men who married women. Whether they are happy or not is impossible for you to know.
