Being bisexual is NOT being both gay and straight. To be gay, you have to ONLY like members of the same sex. To be straight, you have to ONLY like members of the opposite sex. So saying that bisexual is both gay and straight combined is completely ridiculous. It's saying that you only like members of the same sex AND only like members of the opposite sex. Makes no sense. You're not gay and straight if you're bisexual. Bisexual people like members of both sex, not exclusively.
He says a cure for homosexuality could have "implications world-wide" and the entire thing he pretends to be nice to LGBT people. Do you know what he means by "world-wide"? American ex-gays like Cohen had hands-on influence with the recent Ugandan push to execute gays. Thanks for caring Dick, but maybe you could go bother someone else instead.
@TylerNul1 Your children must be proud. You are more like the KKK that only had "courage" when under their sheets in the dead of night. And you are unlike American ideals such as Patrick Henry who risked being drawn and quartered for his stand at Saint Johns Church. You are basically a coward.

But most homosexuals do NOT have a history of sexual abuse. Lots of heterosexuals have a history of sexual abuse, but it did not make them heterosexual.
CNN is an illness. An ILL uminati sickness. These cowards live in an irrational fear. Who do they fear??? US!!!!!! The key word here is Psycho- therapy. Notice how they do not present what this magical solution is. So this is more likely God like dogma(fear) & psycho pharmaceutical applications(labotomy). These people are so sick with fear that they live in there own conspiracy of fear against gays/muslims/anti-govt. As we know, we are the threat to muslims. Christians are next on the list.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Romans 1: 26 For this cause YHWH gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
In 2002, the American Academy of Pediatrics, an association of 60,000 pediatricians, voted to adopt a position in support of gay parents. Six pediatricians who opposed this policy on religious grounds rallied like-minded friends and, on October 19th, about 15 people founded the American College of Pediatricians. It would be accurate to describe this organization as a vehicle through which a small minority of anti-gay doctors advocate in opposition to gay rights, abortion rights, and euthanasia.
People are born gay. Its not a choice or a "lifestyle."
Just because a single gene hasn't be found for sexual orientation means nothing. Many factors determine who a person is before birth. Hormones in the womb, for example, can determine a number of factors about a person. There is substantial evidence showing correlation between sexual orientation and traits that are set when a baby is in the womb.
So Richard Cohen is an idiot who should never be allowed on television.
@wldist, okay I agree it must be a choice like mental retardation, which you clearly suffer from. You fu*king right wing wack jobs, why don't you all get together and fly a plane into the middle east and try some suicide missions? Go down in glory for your fantasy god!

He wasn't gay, he was an abuse victim! NARTH is a joke! He said, in his heart he "had a passionate desire to marry a woman and create a family." A gay man doesn't have the desire to marry a woman!!!
He wasn't gay! Is isn't ex-gay. He is under a delusion.
Using your reasoning, if he is/was bi, then he is/was straight. So he is not an ex-gay as he is promoting himself to be. He cannot speak as an "ex-gay" since he was straight.
If you accept my reasoning, then the terms are non-exclusive.
Look at it this way: I'm a bi-foodist: I love pizza *and* ice-cream. Thus I can be called a pizza lover and an ice cream lover.
If I truly cease liking pizza, I would be an ex-pizza-lover. You logic would say I can't be an ex-pizza-lover because I was already an ice cream lover. Doesn't follow.
Why is this appropriate with homosexuality? Do you ever hear people say, "My family made me heterosexual; I need therapy to stop!" What is the reasoning for wanting to transition into a "straight" lifestyle?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
For generations homosexuality has been known for what it is, a mental illness. We try to change our views but people know down deep that this is a disease ridden lifestyle which results in higher incidences of drug and alcohol abuse, std's, aids, risky sex acts, gay bowel syndrome, depression and suicide. I'm sorry if you think this is hateful or bigotry. It is not. It is the truth.
"It is apparent that Gay Bowel Syndrome is an essentialized category of difference that is neither gay-specific, confined to the bowel, nor a syndrome. "
It is long abandoned, except by people who use it as a derogatory term.
Basic fail in his logic: The existing law *demands* an effort to "cure homosexuality". Even if repealed, it won't prevent anybody who wants to from working on it.
Plus, he doesn't strike me as very "former" in his homosexuality. :P
CNN and MSNBC have lost 50 % of their viewers over the past 12 months. It is a decline never seen in broadcast news. They are failing to realize that most of America has and or is waking up to the propoganda they shovel. Race baiting, Gender baiting, Sexual Preference baiting, Class baiting has stopped being news to most Amercians because we see it for what it really is. Bullshit. Change your formula or close up shop CNN and MSNBC. It's up to you.
Why is other people's sexuality such a big deal to some people? Do people really think that society will break down if gay marriage is legalized? And this guy is not an "ex-gay". You can be attracted to both women and men but you can't suddenly turn from being gay to straight. I think this Cohen guy is repressing his true self and I think he would be so much happier if he didn't try to pretend to be something he wasn't. I'd feel sorry for him if he wasn't trying to ruin people's lives.
So let me get this straight... This guy worked really hard at suppressing his need for cock, and now that he can ignore that attraction and pretend to enjoy vagina, he's an advocate to help others achieve this same feat? This is a world gone mad.
This former fruit makes some interesting points here...we only hear about straight to gay "coming out" as if you can only go one way, that's part of the queer militant propaganda. What about gays who want to be straight, don't want to gay it up? The whole notion about "born gay", people only being gay, and having no control, blah blah blah takes another hit. It's in flux baby!
@RuflessRecords Really, gay and straight are not two orientation where someone is either 100% gay or 100% straight. The is a range, so many people are sexually attracted to both sexes to some extent, these people who are attracted to both men and women are generally are going to be the long term closet gays, where they can sleep with women, but are more attracted men. But you do not "cure" sexual orientation, more that you push someone into make a choice that is not their primary attraction.
Yes, cure it now. If California health experts have been supposed to be curing this for the last 60 years, they haven't been trying very hard, especially in SanFranSicko.
Sequester male kids being picked on, called fags etc; in separate school staffed by Jennifer Love Hewitt lookalikes for 4 years in HS.
If homosexuality was a problem, why does it appear in each and every community? White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Atheist? Do you know how many gay people come form evangelical households? The only reason gays are 'increasing' is because more people are coming out of the closet because they know it is NOT a 'condition'!!!
He feels he has to live a straight life because of social values instilled in him.
He is NOT a licensed therapist. it is against the APA to try to "cure" homosexuality.
His mentioning of the study is 100% false. It is not environmental it is CHEMICAL. We have been able to MAKE gay sheep, for god's sake. They never mention the hard facts or truth in these studies and letting only him talk is stupid. Get a gay psychotherapist on the show! Not a politician!

The fuck. The guy not only changed the subject completely when he was asked but he attempts to justify it because he got raped at 5, using complete illogical responses. Not only that, he answers no questions clearly that are asked to him. He just keeps talking and talking about how many homosexuals want to be straight, which is obviously false. Psycho indeed.
Homosexual is not a real word,it is a label separating a specific desire within a man or woman. It was needed to deceive in order to ostracize a specific desire within the public, they don't want "LOVE" caring, sharing, people Loving People is correct, to label this one because he desires a natural part of his own creational makeup is ludicrous. Like telling someone you cant desire the color "Magenta".. Anyone who has a mind of their own knows , it isnt a choice, it is a desire. cont...
"Definitely reversible" ? WTF? I'm not gay but this man is definitely retarded ! You can be sure that if he was abused when he was 5, he's mentally disturbed. Plus He made cure to change because he thought he was gay? Come on !! Not every gay of this world were abused at 5. You can't change your feelings, it would be like brainwash so you would be retarded.
Jesus was balanced, he was strong yet tender, caring, loving, and at the same time a leader, a teacher.
There are those who dont want man loving,caring within themselves, they might just love themselves God forbid!
How in the world will the public fight their wars? The natural desires is "LOVE"
This is WHY we were created, but you are being told what is & isn't normal. Their doctrines are fine for some, but a poison for others. LOVE is NEVER a bad thing, hate & war are bad,
Closet cases like this guy are are one of the biggest obstacles to gay rights. They are so immersed in their internal homophobia. They are like the Sen. Larry Craigs who also is married, votes against any sort of equal rights for gay people and is arrested for trying to find sex in a rest room with a guy!
The American Psychological and Psychiatric Associations both have debunked repairative therapy. You can choose not to have sex with a same sex person but you will be gay until you die.
@stoner829 Not to mention this quack believes he can hug gay boys out of being gay. Not kidding; that's his methodology. Sounds like he's in a lot of denial.
@cclovesyoutoob OMG!!!! I never heard that one..but hey..it is worth a shot. I'd like to give Ricky Martin a big old hug!! I am sure that would push me into the straight world!! HA!
people wanna change from homosexual to heterosexual because they feel different. society looks down upon gay people which is the reason they want to change, they shouldn't change for society. they need their rights and toleration!
Many will make fun of my post because they dont understand masculine/feminine. Many associate this with straight/gay.
A man or a woman who desires opposite what they appear to be in body, is not abnormal, its called choice, desire. A man who desires his feminine nature more than h the masculine nature, will tend to be more loving, kind, and gentler, and may be attracted to others like himself, or not.The only thing that matters is do the couples "LOVE" one another . Love is never bad!
Man & woman have both natures within them "masculine/feminine" Originally mankind was "balanced" and accept himself/herself, "within" making a stable person .
Man decided his feminine 1/2 was not normal "church". This set up a turmoil, within the individual, men who were more accepting towards their feminine Ie "loving nurturing nature" were labeled & shunned. The correct way is to allow the individual to accept what he desires within him. Would you choose a man or woman's fav color for them
No wonder it hasn't reflected the values of today's society. Values have crashed over the last 50 years. They will keep crashing until the end of the world. But we can slow it down if we try.
Homosexuality is earth's natural way of preventing overpopulation. It is a natural process. Richard Cohen is obviously insane and will one day be outed for having sex with men. He's full of shit.
Being straight as straight can be, I may not be an expert on goober smoochers, but it seems to me that most homosexuals don't start out that way, from birth. It seems that most out of the closet homosexuals were kind of sucked into that lifestyle over a period of time.
@hairmagic goober smoochers? most gay people I known including myself, have felt deprived of respect and the opportunity to be ourselves. nobody is sucked into any lifestyle, I have always been me and continue 2 b. The stereotypes everybody makes r just as hilarious as the comment, we are ur neighbors, ur brother or sister, ur friend, ur mom or even ur dad. normal human beings born on earth who fall in love with another human. not depraved, depraved is Las Vegas and legalized prostitution
He's not that offensive... he's just saying that he thinks it is curable... he doesn't seem to be judging people... the problem is that the theory he is using can't be proven either wrong or right, although there is evidence supporting both views. As for this law, I think it is right that it does not need to be a state government issue. Still he is a very scary person. Bring this research somewhere it belongs.
His personality exudes fragility, and I'd feel bad for him if he weren't spreading his bs to other people.
Your sexuality is purely what you are or are not sexually attracted to. Last I checked you could have sex with people without being attracted to them... just look at a lot of married people.
Even the gay penguin in the San Francisco zoo, which was the only suspected gay non-human in Earth's history went straight when the "right" female was introduced to the habitat.
I wouldn't say that I could side with either individual's views, but banning the research for those interested in a heterosexual conversion is wrong. If a gay person wants to be hetero, but they're not allowed to seek assistance because it's outlawed, can we make that individual feel like any more of an outcast?
One thing not mentioned is that CNN did not do basic background research on its guests credentials and the organisation he is promoting. Cohen has been kicked out of the The American Counseling Association and currently operates without any professional license or accreditation. Plus, his views on homosexuality have been discredited by every established medical organization and his ideas about gays are apparently only taken seriously by CNN bookers and producers.
@portalx010 Actually, no medical association has ever "discredited" his views, they only state that they disagree with them. There is NO EVIDENCE, biologically, through DNA or otherwise to support the false belief that people are "born" gay. I know this will upset you tremendously, but it's true.
What if you could "cure" homosexuality? If there were a breakthrough pill or injection that could 100% dissuade a man or woman from being attracted to the same sex, would it be a good thing to introduce to society?
Interesting questions...the moral and ethical implications are quite large.
@VeryBoring It would absolutely be a GREAT thing. Althought the cure is already available. But if a cure were to be introduced in pill form, it would be called a hate crime to produce it. hahah Just look at the pure RAGE by liberals on this board at the mere suggestion that there is a way out of the gay lifestyle.
It's so hard for ppl in this world to feel good about them self, when so many ppl tell them what they are is wrong... then they wonder why suicide, and problems with self esteem are so large now a days...
love yourself for who you are, not for what ppl say you should be.
Religion is the only thing on earth that influences politics and imposes anti-human laws.
If humans need o buy it, it should not be illegal or prohibited. Ban religion from your minds, and ban it from your government if you want to be free.
@arcy37 Like humans riding the dinosaurs, it didn't happen. Whose God are you talking about? Sun worshipers, idol worshipers, the Jihad, the Muslims, Buddhists No, that's right, the only one and true god. Anyone claiming to want to be freed from the gay is as delusional as you. Grow up, religion in 100 years will be a joke like the Egyptian sun gods. FYFS
@stoptherightwing Christianity will not be dead in 100 years. More people are coming to Christ than at any time in history! I am reminded of Voltaire's statement that he and his cronies had so effectively destroyed Christianity and the Bible that one hundred years from his death there would be no more Chrisitans and the only Bibles would be in museums gathering dust. After his death, the Geneva Bible Society bought his house and started printing Bibles by the thousands.
@Arcy37 LOL... You are living in a fantasy world. You can't see the real world when you are blindfolded by religion. You claim to be intelligent, but firmly believe in Bronze Age mythology nevertheless. Adults who believe in Santa Claus are crazy, yet there is just as much proof of his existence as that of any purported "god." Maybe you also think the earth is flat, and that the sun is a fiery winged chariot? Did the Easter bunny bring you some eggs?
@digiprez77 No. Your unbelievably ignorant. About 35 to 40 percent of English speaking Philosophy Professors have a Biblical worldview. Do you really think your sophomoric 4chan cliches about Santa Clause stand up to epistemological scrutiny? - Well, I guess you do...
@digiprez77 Evolution is the adults fairy tale. Isn't it an embarrasment to confess that you beleive everything came from nothing?? That's intellectual suicide no matter how you package it. You know there is a God. Your conscience, which you're trying not to listen to, bares witness to the existence of God. Even creation bares witness. Long before the first man ever circumnavigated the earth that the Bible claimed the earth was round? Check out Proverbs 8:27 and Isaiah 40:22.
Yes @Arcy37 , carry that bible in your hand and claim you believe in a cloud in the sky. You are what I like to call "Palinized" with your delusions of superiority and Holier than thou. Youre all idiots, like believing in Santa Clause. Being Black, Asian, Mexican, straight, bi, gay is not a choice and until you freaks understand that, we'll slam you each and every time. It's not hypocrisy; it's a fact which is something religion does not believe in.
The man is right. Homosexuality is correctible and it has no genetic basis. Some people like screwing animals; were they born with the predisposition to want to screw animals? No. They developed mental problems.
The biological purpose of sex is reproduction and homosexuality contradicts that purpose.
I like how this bigoted retard tried to tie sexual predators with homosexuality.

The remaining percentage should be forced to have children of other minorities (other races, down syndromed, clubbed feet, etc)
That will help society become more tolerant of difference.
Anyone who protests this should be sent to a reeducation camp for forced labor and sensitivity training.

Why is this appropriate with homosexuality? Do you ever hear people say, "My family made me heterosexual; I need therapy to stop!" What is the reasoning for wanting to transition into a "straight" lifestyle?

For generations homosexuality has been known for what it is, a mental illness. We try to change our views but people know down deep that this is a disease ridden lifestyle which results in higher incidences of drug and alcohol abuse, std's, aids, risky sex acts, gay bowel syndrome, depression and suicide. I'm sorry if you think this is hateful or bigotry. It is not. It is the truth.

CNN and MSNBC have lost 50 % of their viewers over the past 12 months. It is a decline never seen in broadcast news. They are failing to realize that most of America has and or is waking up to the propoganda they shovel. Race baiting, Gender baiting, Sexual Preference baiting, Class baiting has stopped being news to most Amercians because we see it for what it really is. Bullshit. Change your formula or close up shop CNN and MSNBC. It's up to you.

Why is other people's sexuality such a big deal to some people? Do people really think that society will break down if gay marriage is legalized? And this guy is not an "ex-gay". You can be attracted to both women and men but you can't suddenly turn from being gay to straight. I think this Cohen guy is repressing his true self and I think he would be so much happier if he didn't try to pretend to be something he wasn't. I'd feel sorry for him if he wasn't trying to ruin people's lives.

@RuflessRecords Really, gay and straight are not two orientation where someone is either 100% gay or 100% straight. The is a range, so many people are sexually attracted to both sexes to some extent, these people who are attracted to both men and women are generally are going to be the long term closet gays, where they can sleep with women, but are more attracted men. But you do not "cure" sexual orientation, more that you push someone into make a choice that is not their primary attraction.

If homosexuality was a problem, why does it appear in each and every community? White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Atheist? Do you know how many gay people come form evangelical households? The only reason gays are 'increasing' is because more people are coming out of the closet because they know it is NOT a 'condition'!!!

Homosexual is not a real word,it is a label separating a specific desire within a man or woman. It was needed to deceive in order to ostracize a specific desire within the public, they don't want "LOVE" caring, sharing, people Loving People is correct, to label this one because he desires a natural part of his own creational makeup is ludicrous. Like telling someone you cant desire the color "Magenta".. Anyone who has a mind of their own knows , it isnt a choice, it is a desire. cont...

There are those who dont want man loving,caring within themselves, they might just love themselves God forbid!
How in the world will the public fight their wars? The natural desires is "LOVE"
This is WHY we were created, but you are being told what is & isn't normal. Their doctrines are fine for some, but a poison for others. LOVE is NEVER a bad thing, hate & war are bad,

Closet cases like this guy are are one of the biggest obstacles to gay rights. They are so immersed in their internal homophobia. They are like the Sen. Larry Craigs who also is married, votes against any sort of equal rights for gay people and is arrested for trying to find sex in a rest room with a guy!
The American Psychological and Psychiatric Associations both have debunked repairative therapy. You can choose not to have sex with a same sex person but you will be gay until you die.

Many will make fun of my post because they dont understand masculine/feminine. Many associate this with straight/gay.
A man or a woman who desires opposite what they appear to be in body, is not abnormal, its called choice, desire. A man who desires his feminine nature more than h the masculine nature, will tend to be more loving, kind, and gentler, and may be attracted to others like himself, or not.The only thing that matters is do the couples "LOVE" one another . Love is never bad!

This set up a turmoil, within the individual, men who were more accepting towards their feminine Ie "loving nurturing nature" were labeled & shunned. The correct way is to allow the individual to accept what he desires within him. Would you choose a man or woman's fav color for them

Even the gay penguin in the San Francisco zoo, which was the only suspected gay non-human in Earth's history went straight when the "right" female was introduced to the habitat.
I wouldn't say that I could side with either individual's views, but banning the research for those interested in a heterosexual conversion is wrong. If a gay person wants to be hetero, but they're not allowed to seek assistance because it's outlawed, can we make that individual feel like any more of an outcast?

One thing not mentioned is that CNN did not do basic background research on its guests credentials and the organisation he is promoting.

Plus, his views on homosexuality have been discredited by every established medical organization and his ideas about gays are apparently only taken seriously by CNN bookers and producers.
