For those who support ex-gay therapy: Would you want your daughter to marry an ex-gay? If not, why not? Here’s where the confidence in their “therapy” really shows.

All I could think of when I read the part about the “unlicensed therapist” was:

Announcer: Stuart Smalley is a caring nurturer, a member of several twelve-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.

Someone needs to tell these folks that it’s easier to put on slippers than it is to carpet the entire world.

My ex-husband was gay. I met him in high school and we dated all through college and were married for 12 years before I found out. Of course, once he admitted that he was “bi-sexual” I began to put two and two together and things began to make sense. Since I was the only woman he ever slept with, I concluded he was gay. I’ve since remarried, but he never has. He was engaged to some poor woman, who, I’m sure, didn’t know, but he broke it off. He would show up at our daughter’s sports events with his “guy” friends. He’s still unmarried and very unhappy. He attends some evangelical Christian church and pretends that they can shake it out of him. He believes that he can change his ways. But I know that he is gay, period the end. I don’t have any animosity towards him — I just wish he would come out of the closet and admit it to eveyone else. He would be so much happier. Even my daughter knows — none of us talk about it though. I suspect his father had the same issue. Why can’t people just be who they are? It’s okay!

vox– how many children have you sired? I do understand that this is the reason some give for coupling, but it is not the only reason, is it?

I’m a big gay hairy muscleguy – and I’ve found that a lot of guys have had turbulent pasts and really just want to be held safe in strong arms all night long – a service I’m happy to provide because that’s something that’s denied to many men for whatever reason. Funny thing is, though, in the morning they feel a lot better, but they’re all still gay.

I tried to watch Brokeback Mountain with my wife, but learned, to my surprise, I cannot stomach the frank portrayal on the screen of men having a sexual, loving, gay relationship. It just went against my grain and overwhelmed me, and I had to leave and get away from it.
I don’t think that makes me an intolerant bigoted right wing repugnaut. I’ve tried to understand my revulsion at the concept and really, it is because there is no procreation taking place in gay relations..Homosexuality was an abomination, an aborting of man’s natural creative process in the bible, not without some good reason. Maybe keeping it in the closet was the smart thing to do. I am not going to go and protest with hatemongering fundamentalists like Fred Phelps, but I think if I can feel their revulsion so sharply, I can understand them better.

No. It’s not genetic. And it wouldn’t be important at all if we had a civilized society.

You say Sharia – I say Gilead, let’s call the hole thing off. And to think I was gay until I saw Jane one day!

Oh, and another thing . . . I was reading “People” in the hair salon, and there was an article about the former governor of NJ–you know, the one who had to resign because he was gay? He grew up totally denying who he was, was married twice, all the while having multiple affairs and racy encounters. He himself said, having to deny that part of himself made him go way overboard in the other direction.

Now, he’s got a steady beau–they are in love, and he sounds SO much happier!

Now just imagine if he hadn’t been led to LIE all his life–how many fewer lives might he have ruined?

It’s the LYING and denying the truth that is the real crime.

Of course, the Bushites don’t believe this!
