    So you don't think conversion therapy is legitimate?

    I don't either. The lack of success stories really lends to that.

    YOU SAID you had "No clue what you're talking about" which I expressed as you not being able to comprehend. I was agreeing with you.

    With regards to the nonsense that falls out of your mouth I think no clue is the Perpetual state of anybody that isn't just utterly deranged.

    First the church group got together to discuss how to "help people not choose the so called 'homosexual lifestyle.'" Second so what?

    they are. They are protesting predatory con artists and misguided hellbound dimwits with good intentions.
    They do want to help people. They don't want to support some deranged political agenda

    Conversion therapy should be illegal to perform on minors. If adults what to subject themselves to that charade that's one thing, but no one should be coerced or forced into the sham called conversion "therapy".

    If Homosexuals are driving the HIV / AIDS epidemic in the U.S.A. then everyone will be happy with that result,
    why ?

    Straight people will never get HIV / AIDS as they only engage in Heterosexual encounters.

    Soon, there will be no Gay Men, since they will all die from HIV / AIDS and that should please Heterosexuals.

    The real problem is in truth, very different.

    How so ?
    Many so called Heterosexual or straight men often engage in sex with other men.

    Often, married men, with children, straight men will pay to have sex with young male prostitutes, and aquire HIV / AIDS and infect their wives too.

    Anothet vector of infection is needle sharing among prostitutes both male and female, and the infection is passed along to their clients.

    And to top it off, many married men sexually abuse / rape much younger men, often teens.



    So tell us again how HIV / AIDS is a Gay / Male disease.

    that equates to it not being a choice unless you believe there is a hob goblin that makes the choice for you, in that case it still isn't a choice.

    I think those who've done it, and for whom it actually worked, are in a better position to decide that.

    Of course, you can choose to regard them as 'fake straights', if it's comforting.

    Not at all. We are the product of our upbringing. To suggest that we choose our nature, is to suggest we're automatons.

    I'm sorry they're not. If you knew the first thing about psychology you would know that. You can give people placebos and tell him that treats any number of elements and they will believe it does. It doesn't make the placebo medicine.

    unless you can explain Theory behind how this treatment works it doesn't matter how I regard them it's not treatment. You can call it Faith healing you can call it Spirit cooking you can call it whatever you want but it doesn't treat homosexuality and less that you can show evidence that it does. More than anecdotal evidence from extremely hopeful people. Meaning a double-blind study.

    I will wait but I won't hold my breath.

    I think you're struggling with English.

    this completely contradicts your above statement. If you are a product of your upbringing you don't choose your upbringing and by virtue of something you didn't have a choice with you are produced.

    you were the one suggesting we make a choice in sexual orientation.

    I've never said sexuality was a conscious choice made by the individual. I've always maintained my belief that it's a product of late pregnancy, infancy-early childhood environment.

    I know I've read your bologna it's abject garbage and you don't support it so I don't give a s*** what you say. You could be saying that homosexuality is a demon that possesses you and it would have exactly the same amount of credibility is the nonsense you post.

    I'm not sorry if that seems rude.

    so what unconscious choices do people make in the womb?
