Ex-gay testimony: Former lesbian magazine publisher Charlene Cothran

[IAMJR90]

I used to be a lesbian...until i took a penis to the face.

[flippantcowboy]

She said it herself; she's celibate. It's not like she's having sex with men all of a sudden. She isn't having sex at all. I doubt her sexuality has changed, but her behavior, maybe.

[deenage]

There is no such thing as an "ex-gay." That is a right-wing propaganda tactic. How can a person be "ex-gay?" That's like someone being "ex-blue eyed" or "ex-left handed."

[TheArtsyJustin]

@deenage You are wrong. I was once gay. Now I'm not, It's possible to change.

[Ranokian]

@TheArtsyJustin Exgay? Meaning straight?

[TheArtsyJustin]

@Ranokian Yes. That is what I mean.

[Ranokian]

@TheArtsyJustin Ok, well if it works for you,, But you cant expect other people to do the same.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin then why are you watching these videos? if it's really something you've moved on from, why not leave it behind? unless, of course, you haven't....

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz They are sources of inspiration in a world where people like me are demeaned.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin demeaned? why are you demeaned?

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Many people think we're all self- loathing closet cases, which really isn't always true.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin that's because an individuals' sexuality is so strong, & it's not something that they choose.

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Many people aren't able to change their sexual orientation, but (and i'm speaking from personal experience) there are those who, probably due to a mixture of not wanting their homosexuality at all and God's mercy, were able to change.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin if god is so merciful & homosexuality was so wrong, he wouldnt let them b gay in the 1st place.

& NO ONE wants to b homosexual - to go thru a life of humiliation & abuse.

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz We're all born into sin. Fall of Adam and Eve and all that. What matters is how you respond to it. What choices you make.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin wait...so we're all being punished for something 2 other people did? people whom we've never even met?

doesn't that seem odd to you?

& a baby isn't sinful!

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Even if homosexuality wasn't clearly labeled as a sin in the Bible, it's still obviously unnatural. And don't tell me animals do it too, because some animals eat their young and or mates, yet I doubt if a human did that and said "it's in nature" that would fly.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin "obviously unnatural"? it's obviously natural - it's population control. & even if it's not natural, it doesn't harm anyone.

having a hip replacement when you need one or a heart transplant isn't natural either, does that mean people shouldn't get them?

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Those examples help people. Homosexuality is overrall useless and probably a disorder of some sort.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin so sexuality is about utility? that's messed up if you think that...people are meant (& capable) for more than just reproductive purposes.

& sex brings people closer together.

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Not when it is unnatural sex. Lesbians, for example, must use man- made toys in order to have sex.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin the don't actually have to...when you think about it. & many heterosexual people use sex toys in foreplay.

& so it's only unnatural for lesbians? not gay guys?

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Gay guys had to get pretty creative too using anal sex. Yes, straight couples do it too, but they can also have sex the proper way.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin gay guys can also have sex the proper way, if you give them a fuck load of viagra & a willing chick.

& what makes it the proper way? i'm sorry...just...agh....

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Penis in vagina. The way biology intended.

[TheBgoz]

@TheArtsyJustin so no foreplay or anything? shit...

[TheArtsyJustin]

@TheBgoz Anyway... the point is, some people like the woman in this video, do not want their homosexual feelings. So they can take the steps to change it.

[EmilyGreene1984]

@TheArtsyJustin Its not that she didn't want them. She realized that she had been lying to herself about the fact that she was NOT born gay.

[abbyhoneywaffles]

Omg lady. You're a lesbian. Deal with it. Would you try to stop being black? NO. It's who you are & you can't change it ever. You could choose not to live the lifestyle, but you're still gay. -.-

[drewzter0615]

thank you charlene for being an inspiration. keep up the good fight of faith. :)

[drewzter0615]

you go girl! :)

[RCSVirginia]

How pathetic! Just another bit of phony testimony from someone whom you do not believe for a second. For some truth, watch the YouTube videos:

"Former Ex-Gay Leaders Apologize" by SoulforceQ

"Clint Trout: From 'ex-gay' hell to Harvard" by wbesen

-and'

"Truth Wins Out Exposes the "Ex-Gay" Industry" by Studio3V

[UMANEDAKIDD19]

NO SUCH THING AS EX HOMOSEXUAL

[RCSVirginia]

@UMANEDAKIDD19

You got that right!

[UMANEDAKIDD19]

@RCSVirginia IF YOU'RE GAY YOU'RE GAY, STOP TRYNNA PRETEND JUS TO BE ACCEPTED BY THIS HOMOPHOBIC. IF YOU CANT BE YOSELF THEN SOMETHIN IS WRONG WITH YOU. I CANT STAND THAT EX-GAY, STOP TRYNNA BE SOMETHIN YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE NOT STRAIGHT, LYIN BOUT YOSELF IS ONE OF THE WORSE THINGS ANYONE CAN DO. IM STRAIGHT BUT I RESPECT THE GAY COMMUNITY. I DONT BUY INTO ALL THAT EX-GAY STUFF SMH.

[RCSVirginia]

@UMANEDAKIDD19

I could not agree with you more! Kudos on your fantastic remarks!

[kkdkk7]

oo

[mermaidsareppl222]

@marionetemanJ yet im proof god does not exist

atheism is proof christianity and god are not correct

[90ACG]

Praise God for his love and merciful patients!

[sgonged]

I was called gay on xbox live. Then I came here and was no longer gay.

[sinisbal]

I was gay. Now I am changed. I am straight. If you want to be straight, maybe my story will help you. Visit ilivestraight website

[Casey5693]

Glory to God in the Highest!

[goforevidence]

@lilmarque1

Thank you !

[lilmarque1]

Amen...only God can deliver ppl from this strong hold, you cannot do it on own. If anybody say I was born gay, I would say so was I...we were all born into sin that's why the word tells us that we have to be BORN AGAIN not through flesh and blood, but through the Holy Spirit. This is the only way we can make it into to Heaven.

[goforevidence]

@xxyc21  ( part three )

you still think that there is a '' gay gene '' ?

you still believe that there is a PREDETERMINATION to be gay in the gene pool of human ?

Many lesbians uses strap-on to make sex or stimulate a pleasure ; my question is : WHY use a NON natural or man-made object (the strap-on) on their bodies ( naturally without penis ) to stimulate pleasure of a penis ?

[goforevidence]

@xxyc21

It's strange !! you have as much disdain for straight ( and heterosexuality ) yet you know that your birth is the culmination of a heterosexual union !!

[xxyc21]

It was those early brainwashing moments from your childhood that gave you guilt over your homosexual feelings.

Lady I will never ever engage in str8 love.

I don't even like str8 people to socialize with them.

So you are not young and pretty anymore and the girls don't look back at you as they once did, but that life's age limits and going str8 is not going to change that.

Being celibate for most of us is a miserable way to live.

The real God made you a lesbian, celebrate it

[uraine7626]

Most likely genocide will be cause by the overpopulation of humanity and if anything homosexuality helps to prevent this cause from happening; not help it. In fact, homosexuality has done more good for humanity because it cleans up a lot of heterosexuals mistakes like misfit parenting, populaiton overhauled and intelorance for people who are different and diverse (since homosexuality became a big target for hate groups less people seem to be less involve with hatred of races and gender).

[spirtualthinker]

@uraine7626: what overpopulation problem?

I'll admit that a lot of cities are over crowed but not nations as a whole.

I can tell you why homosexuality is wrong with out using the bible if you're interested.

How does homosexuality help a society?

What can homos do that heteros can't do?

[YellowBlackbird12]

@uraine7626 Using your own logic I can conclude that: Homosexuality is good for keeping the population down. It is the leading cause of AIDS. Other than that it is worthless.

[uraine7626]

@YellowBlackbird12 No that heterosexuality, get some education

[YellowBlackbird12]

@uraine7626 LOL!

[uraine7626]

This is very offensive because for once human indiginity has nothing to do with someone being a homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual. Christianity has nothing to do with sexuality because the bible for once teaches us to be content with serving God and to withstand from any kind of sexual desire. "A rude that leds to destrustion" what does she mean about that terminology? Is she referring to genocide?
