Gay Cure MERGED

*whistles

 

Agreed! The conservative right in this country scares me silly.

The reason why I haven't responded to the thread before, (I saw it last week) is, to me, the question is flawed. The way it's worded assumes that gays need a cure, whether one would want to utilize the cure or not. I'm quite offended by that. Goes against the laws of nature, in my mind, where homosexuality is common and not a disease in need of a cure. Sheesh~!

 

It gives people more variety to choose from... especially if you were bi-sexual. A lot of these people these days are not worth the time and effort... so more variety is a good thing.

 

This is a very old and long thread. For someone to even pose the question "if there was a cure for homosexuality" is horrific. I must ask, why should a cure for homosexuality be sought? Is it because homosexual behavior does not conform to the biblical, societal or politically accepted range of human sexual behavior? It does not comprise the majority of sexual behavior thus it is not acceptable. If something is different should it be eliminated or suppressed. As a gay man and an ethnic minority I find these sorts of questions border on a Nazi philosphy imho.

All human sexual behavior should be accepted and cherished if all parties are concenting participants. There is no cure for homosexual behavior because it is nothing more than another way of sexual expression.

Live and love and let others do likewise.

 

Well.... there is NO cure for homosexuality...nor will there ever be. Their brains function differently as infants and as they grow older. It is not a bad thing to be gay or a lesbian or whatever. People need to learn that there are more to those people than just being GAY.

 

You're not very likely to see many openly gay people in China because currently it is required that all people get married whether they are gay or straight. So if you see an abundance of people from China moving to the US, don't be surprised.

Things might change in the future, though, as the old ideas are slowly changed by the newer generations.

As for India, isn't it currently illegal there to be openly gay? I know they are trying to change the laws to make it legal.

 

I'm gay. I have no disease. I know the differance between love and lust(though I think who argued that is no longer posting here)and tryed not to be gay(at around 10-12, eventually hinted at it with a wristband at 14, then accepted it) though I have had the tendencys since I was little. It can be lame, but I am me, I think you are born gay, for me I think it's a past life thing that is beyond physical, but that is me.

 

The use of the word "cure" is unsettling, and whenever I hear it in this context I get very nervous.

Anyways, there have been too many gay people in history that have greatly benefited humankind. Do I believe their sexuality was key to their success? I don't see any particular evidence for it, but I'm not taking chances. Leave sexuality in nature's/God's/the Universe's hands; people should not meddle with things beyond their understanding.

 

Well said.

 

thats the stupid notion i have evr heard

 

hi everyone,
what are your thoughts on the notion of being able to change your sexuality to that of a heterosexual?
would you do it?
if so why?
if not why not?

don't mean to sound offensive or provocative, just curious to hear any opinions on this.

 

well i think its a good idea as bisexuals/homosexuals can CHOOSE whether they want it or not. I had a friend who hated being bi because of the bullying he went through.

As for me... I may take it... But my "horniness" would go as I am much more attracted to guys than girls

 

I think thats dumb.

 

Hey google it. People believe they are getting closer to curing it

 

if you can cure homosexuals, you can cure hetrosexuals ^^

 

cure homosexuality, thats the funniest thing that was ever funny.

 

hahaha yeah! i agree with all of your posts but they actually are testing these "scientific breakthroughs" on sheep!

 

No!! I love guys too much to do that.

 

Cure homosexuality?

Is homosexuality a disorder then?

I dont think it is, I think it is a natural phenomenon of human evolution...and cant be cured.

Any 'cure' would in reality be some kind of unnatural conditioning....

Incidently I am not gay or shall I say I don't label myself in that fashion, I find the naked male form sickening, I do however believe that other males find the female form as equally repulsive, Ive met these guys, there is no disorder in their minds, its just their natural inclination.

 

I think that if a "gay cure" was available, it would just make things worse with regards to homophobia. A lot of what homophobes believe lies in the fact that they think gay people choose to be gay and that what they do is wrong (the latter could come from a misguided upbringing or unfortunately, religion). And if gay people did in fact have the choice to "become" straight, then all those homophobes would probably hate gays even more.

But then again...if one could be made straight, couldn't someone be made gay? This is all very silly, but an interesting topic.

Personally - I wouldn't take the "cure" or whatever it would be. I think that besides for the whole discrimination thing, being gay is pretty damn great
