Gay conversion brainwashing

gay people are extremely bright. stop twisting words and trolling. i am a same sex marriage supporter as stated many times. i dont care who a person has relations with.

I'm not twisting your words. I am simply questioning your comments.

hes actually not gay though. he identifies as straight and has had girlfriends! also a very bright young man.

Thanks, that was the first smile of my day.

He's gay.

It's not something we know how to change. This is biology, not Psych.

He's faking it, or he's bi. Although if he was bi, he should have been able to avoid this mess.

And do you know that gay people can go back in the closet, and act like they're "straight"? They're still gay. But whatever, he could be in denial, or he could be bisexual.

or he could be straight? are you saying thats impossible?

Your anecdotal story does not change the fact that all of the "methods" to convert people's sexuality, does not work.

You have an anecdotal story? I have a pile of evidence that shows that gay conversion therapy does not work. At all. There are harmful practices disguised as medical, but all they cause is pain.

i dont actually know what all therapy he received before he was changed over. so yes i admit i do have that lack of knoweldge there. but that camp was none of my business so how would i know what happens in the first place?

look. all im saying is that you make great points. probably doesnt work on many people. but it does work on some. and thats not a bad thing

I know a little about this. It's been attempted for decades, started sometime in the 50s or 60s.

One of the rules therapists are supposed to live by is 'do no harm'.

Conversion therapy is way too close to brainwashing to qualify.

Not why I am writing this post. Because we have this track record, we have some history as to outcomes. It's a sad situation when your failures have better lives than your successes. The 'converted' live lives of quiet misery.

This needs to be outlawed.

First of all the assumption than gays need conversion,means that somehow being gay is wrong!
One's personal sexual orientation is no one elses business

of course they do. they are regular people just like straight people. gay, straight, transgender, all equal.

youre missing some information. i support gay people just as much as straight people.

this young man WANTED to be straight and was sent to a conversion camp and now he is straight. thats all.

nothing wrong either way

You can be gay and play football and drive.

....So if you're gay, can you somehow not able to play football, or operate a motorized vehicle? There are plenty of gay athletes out there. And I can drive a car just fine.

I hope to hell you and your girlfriend don't drive. Because apparently gay people don't drive.

I don't even know why she has a car, since I'm always the one driving. She's a ****ing terrible driver, BTW. I must have that special gene that makes gays moderately OK drivers. But hey, I've gotten over my fear of highways driving all the time back home.

Well for minors its outlawed already in some places because its not supported by the medcial science community and its nothing more than abuse. Vile gross insane abuse.
Its my guess that in my life time it will be nationally outlawed for minors.

as far as adults? well its thier choice to be a retard if they want and subject themselves to any insane abuse they choose with in the law. That being said im sure where every they go for this abuse it wont be licensed and reputably healthcare center. it will be quacks and religious extremists selling magic beans. The licensed paces offering this abuse now have thier days numbered.

It just doesn't work that way,he might want to be straight,he might be trying to be straight.
But that gay itch won't disappear.
 
How about conversion therapy to become gay,when you're straight?

LMAO it works on nobody. also what does playing football and driving have to do with sexual orientation?
Please show factual evidence supported by the medical science community that it changes sexual orientation. Ready, go!

Candidate for suicide,when those gay feeling come out of suppression.

Choose your words more carefully and you won't be questioned on them.

Maybe ask your neighbor's gay son. He can probably help you, in between dating girls, playing football and driving around town.
 
If gay conversion really worked why did the people of Exodus International say it didn't work when they closed up shop? Most of them even married opposite sex people and claimed that they were straight, that is until they said it was all a lie.

If you truly supported gay people, you would understand that people are born gay, just like others are born straight, and no amount of therapy is going to change this.
