I Tried To Change My Sexual Orientation With Exgay Therapy

Leaders of 'exgay' organizations such as Exodus International like to assert change is possible and point to themselves as proof that 'change is possible.'

In this series of interviews survivors of 'exgay' programs explain how they too once believed their sexual orientation only to realize later a genuine change had NOT occurred.

yes, you can not heal gay thru camps or medications. Only Jesus can heal us. God loves us for who we are, even with our sins. But He loves us too much to let us dwell in our sin. If you would just come to Jesus, He can help you. Be blessed!

DarkHawk56 I also want to tell you that there are better things on store which you hav'nt experienced.

Well you yourself have a preconceived notion that I'm 'in a fairy tale world' - my world is far from idyllic. If there's no use of explaining it to me why did you say that you'd answer my question if it was a genuine question. Which it was, and still is. I want to know what kind of abuse you think created these gay people. But if you don't want to answer I respect that.

Love and sex don't have to be as intertwined ?

Well then U can love ur furniture and have sex with ur partner ... Do u ? Girl all I gotta say is ur in a fairy tale world making beauty contest speechs. Ur question ? Whts the use even if i tell wht I myself have witnessed ... u'll have pre concieved notions abt it

Love is part of the human experience. Gay, Straight, Bisexual, Pansexual or Asexual. Love and sex don't have to be as intertwined as everyone seems to think. Yes we could all do greater things with our lives, but you can say that to anyone doing anything but devoting their life to a selfless cause. You still haven't answered the question.

(FYI even straights crave sex & love) but he left as missionary to china. .. he died there. Straight or Gay both crave for sex but its upto a individual to decide wthr to lay so much of emphasis on it cos there r far more greater things. Its not the society wch segregates U its you who put a hedge between by using orientation as a banner. Believe me Gay or Straight you will not find the answer for your life untill you get rid of three words Me, Myself & I

........ Martin luther fought for a cause. Is the issue of gay rights worthy enough to b mentioned in the same page? Is it worth loosing family,friends,job, morals & ethical values for a few minutes of stimulation ? Wch will turn numb few years down. Is marriage certificate finally accepted by the society somthing to look bck n be content of ? Eric liddel cud hve led a peaceful life with retirement benefits and a whole lot of grandchildren. (FYI even straights crave sex)

Mere pleasure? Love is more than a mere pleasure, love is the completion of ones soul, it is the most - to say the least. :| Love knows no gender, attraction leads to love. Being in love with some of your own sex can lead to death - yes. It's illegal in many places, and even where it isn't it can be dangerous. So, yes, this is reason to huddle. We are however getting away from the original matter. You've still to answer my original question. What abuse?

[DarkHawk56]

waoh woah ! hold rght there mate

Can mere pleasure(sex) be equalled to risk of loosing lives ??? can you compare the prohibition of Gay Marriages with the Decapitation of early christians ??? Is this a proper reason to huddle and reboud ? Very reason we compare issues of unparalleled magnitudes shows our insensitivity . Ppl are starving out der but we take on streets protesting the approval of gay marriages. If U take on streets protesting against abortion don you think u will be accptd ?
