Ex-gay therapist Richard Cohen on CNN

um........who cares?not sure why these people want to be straight if they can CHOOSE to be gay but whatever......It is pretty damn messed up how many people hate gays though...

Could Richard be acting out on repressed desires when he hugs other men, legitimizing it to be required of therapy? Hm.

Richard quotes in his book coming out straight...

these insights come from my own course of healing and have been substantiated through the findings and observations of other therapists and former homosexuals. For me, these discoveries meant life or death. I determined to find answers because I knew that 'God' did not create me this way.

Conclusion = deluded by religion, making gay people believe they are mentally unwell.

The man is not a doctor and knows nothing about science.

you can't just DECIDE to be straight. Jahkillian, obviously homosexuality, just like heterosexuality is uncovered during puberty. hormones determine sexual attractions. homosexuality is a matter of biology and science, not conscious choice.

hahah the guy getting therapy says he feels WONDERFUL is the arms of Richard.

That's how I feel when my partner holds me. And It's not sexual either...I am gay

So, Mr. Cohen, when you are born with brown eyes, you absolutely have the right to determine, wheather you want to live with it or change blue.

LogoRH, Don't play stupid. I understand you want gay rights but we have NO EVIDENCE what so ever you're born gay. When a new baby is born, and the doctors say "You have a healthy GAY baby boy" then you can say something stupid like that. If you have some scientific study journal which is peer review, providing proof please PM me and I'll gladly apologize.

LogoRH, just so Im clear what are you saying this journal is proving?

We are animals, just very far advanced when compared to the other animals. Of course, both we and them do very good things, like helping those in need, hunting for food, and defending ourselves. We, and them, also do very bad things. Here's a recent good thing, done by a pair of 'gay penguins" 'Gay' Penguins Rear a Chick in German Zoo
