As a psychologist, the idea

Submitted by Dr. Rick (not verified) on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 12:52pm.

As a psychologist, the idea that someone can change their sexual orientation is a cruel hoax that the Christian community has thrust upon us.  Can people change their sexual behavior?  Absolutely.  Anyone has the ability to refrain from sex.  But the idea that you can take a person who is attracted to men and make him attracted to woman is a joke and, ultimately, harmful to the poor saps who marry these fools in denial.  If "ex-gays" want to live life sex-free, be my guest.  But don't lie to people (and yourself) and say that you are now miraculously attracted to people of the opposite sex just because some quack therapist told you to refer to your male friends as "dudes" (see below)... 


"The cure for homosexuality, according to (reparative) theory, is making platonic same-sex friends and conforming to stereotypical gender-appropriate behavior. For example, lesbians are encouraged to wear lipstick and gay men are urged to drink Gatorade and call their friends “dude.” Such experiences supposedly causes the same-sex lose its mystery, thus its sexual allure. Once this occurs, heterosexual attractions will rush in to fill the void."
