"Translation: "We went back into the closet." LOL"

I agree with you. I don't buy the idea that anyone can get rid of those sick tendencies. I don't think that sort of thing is a choice. They are just going back into the closet. I don't ever remember making a choice to be interested in women. I didn't sit down and way the pros and cons of being straight and of being a fruit. It just kinda happened that I ended up being straight.

You're right, it really isn't a choice. The problem is, you apparently don't understand the issues. According to therapists and ex-gays, same-sex attraction isn't a choice. It isn't a choice because when they're engaging in homosexual behavior they are confused about their sexuality.

Of course, engaging in homosexual behavior is always a choice. It's the attraction that isn't. I encourage you to read the links on this thread and get back to me.

I'll wager that:

1.) You weren't molested as a child--particularly by someone of the same sex.

2.) You didn't suffer psychological and physical abuse at the hands of someone you truly loved and trusted.

3.) Your parents weren't horribly dysfunctional, leaving you to be raised by TV or bad elements in school or the neighborhood.

Of course it's not a choice. How many child molesters have ever been cured? Homos probably have about the same rate of cure.

We conservatives need to get a dose of reality. It would be great if child molesters, homos, and other deviates could be cured, but that's not going to happen.
