Why would you not want to be gay in the first place? I think it's awesome if your gay, who knows more of what a man wants than another man? Same with women, why try to change yourself you are who you are!
I doubt he was ever gay.
"I doubt he was ever gay."
I'm inclined to agree, but if he was then he still is, that's axiomatic. This kind of religious flimflam reminds of the desperate claims creationists make that deny obvious scientific facts.
if he ever was gay, i doubt he is straight today.
I would agree, if he was molested as a child then that is an issue that needs to be fixed yet no amount of talking to an imaginary cloud can fix your sexual preference.
Something about a leopard and his spots comes to mind. People do say the darndest things, though.
It sounds like this guy doesn't even know whether he's gay or straight.
I don't think people can even begin to understand what they are until they get their heads out of the god fog.
"Jesus Cured Me of the Gay, and He Can Fix You Too "
"and He Can Fix You Too".....
Is it just me....or does that last bit sound like a threat ?
To me, being "cured of gay", is the same as saying you were "cured of being brunette". It's just a part of who you are, not a defect to be wished away.
Although, I suppose to be fair you could dye your hair another color, so maybe it's not a great analogy.
Although again, maybe someday in the distant future science will have developed a design in human biology that would allow us to change our gender and orientation at will. Hmmm....
One of two things is happening. Neither of which says he is "cured of being gay".
1. He's still attracted to other men but he's decided not to act on them.
2. He was never gay to begin with but thought he was.
"I was O+ but god cured me and now I am B-" That is what I heard from this asshole!
Yeah. The idea of "being cured of being gay" is really sickening to me.
I saw a few testimonials like that online. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being homosexual, or deviating from "hetero-normative" society, so why is it that these deities care about "correcting" or "fixing" something that is not a problem when there are starving children who get raped, and beaten? Why do innocent people get killed as a result of other peoples' stupidity? It doesn't make much sense. I think that the supernatural should focus on resolving bigger world issues before they change a person's preferences.
I'm glad that Exodus international has closed due to their lie that you can "pray away the gay". But perhaps his book can actually help people from all walks of life; people who are gay but don't want to be, pastors who want to preach on this etc. Also, the debate of whether or not trans should use public bathrooms is so annoying to say the least. And it's sad.
He's not gay anymore....but deep down....he still likes guys better than women.
