I am aware that there have been many books published, mainly Christian, dealing with 'proof' that homosexuality can be cured. I know that the APA treats ex-gay therapy as non-effective, but I am interested in seeing what these people who claim that it can be cured have to say. |

There is no cure for something that is not a disease, homosexuality is visible in many different animals. If the gay conversion workshop is anything like normal christian philosophy, you either become straight or burn in hell. |

Technically you can cure anything. Hitler managed to cure tolerance to jews. It's called brainwashing. You can program a person to think anything. |
|
No you can't. The persecution of Jews is a concept on a much higher cognitive level, and even then there were some who did not buy it. Sexual identity is an instinctive trait programmed very deep in the brain and is hence not a plastic thing; can you brainwash somebody to multiply ten digit numbers together in their head, or to have synaesthesia? |

Somebody should ask Ted Haggard how 'curing' homosexuality worked out for him. |

"Take atheism, for example. Not a religion? Their pseudo-dogmatic will to convert others to their system of beliefs is eerily reminiscent of the very behavior they criticize in the religious."
Saying there is a cure for homosexuality is to me like saying there is a cure for being an optimist. Like someone said, you cannot cure that which is not a disease. Even if you can change a homosexual into a straight person, the process would be akin to brainwashing. |

Surrender your flesh. We demand it.
^Wasn't really intended to be a serious argument, but rather intended to show the invalidity of that particular argument. "Ooh, [insert random animal here]s sometimes have gay sex, so it must be alright for the rest of us." Makes sense, right? |

I see. That's a good point. I guess people bring up that argument in response when others claim something like homosexuality is unnatural. |

Even then, why would you want to "cure" yourself if you were homosexual. I don't see why anyone would want to change the way they are in such a drastic manner. |
|
My fact about other species was not intended to be used for argument, it was simply just a fact to show it is a natural occurrence. Also, homosexuality is also not always synonymous with "gay sex", you can be homosexual and never actually have sex. The rape reference was a good point, if I was trying to use that fact as an argument, but pulling quotes out of your ass and comparing them to what I say is unnecessary. |
|
A penis is made for a vagina, not for another penis and vice versa for a vagina. I don't get how people can be gay, no logic in it at all. |
|
If it's not natural then why are there homosexuals in nature, throughout the animal kingdom? Do you think homosexuals are secretly straight or something? And do you think animals are consciously sinning? |

No but the whole point of sex besides plessure is to spread your seed and help keep humanity alive. It should be 1 baby per family, because getting more is just asking for trouble. We are over populated as it is. |

Sexual attraction is not a low-level brain function; it's fairly high-level and can be very complex in mammals, which is why homosexuality can occur. |
