Once your aware and accept the fact your attracted to one sex, good luck with trying to deny it and bury it inside. We as humans are born to be and always have been physically emotionally and spiritually attracted to humans in general. We need to eradicate the unnecessary conceptualization of sexual identities and learn to embrace our natural sexual urges. It's not about who you are sexually. It's that human sexuality just IS.

The reason why repairative therapy does not work is because therapy cannot tell you why desireing the same sex as you is not right. Clearly.... being masculine and fixing outward "issues" is a cover up for what the real problem is. All sin is a matter of the heart. Seek the Kingdom of heaven First not all these religous things!!

O.O what nonsense is this? why would people torture others with so called therapy?

WOW..This story is a view into the dark thinking of your typical homophobic idea of reparitave therapy.. Amazing how people fear something they can never understand, due to the fact that these so called therapists can never place themselves in the mind of an average homosexual.. How can you fix what you can never understand? It's like trying to put a square peg into a round hole.. It can't be done. To all Gay men and women out there.There is nothing wrong with you. Remember that.. :/

@UMANEDAKIDD19 They're exposed, we know they're there. You don't need to point them out. The way you type and the things you say make you look as ignorant as those you hate. We CANNOT stoop to their level, which is pretty much what you're doing. Please, for your cousin, change how you deal with homophobes. This isn't the way to do it. At least think about this for a night. One night, that's all I ask.

@EveryDayALittleDeath 1) ILL TYPE HOW I WANNA, AND I AINT SCREAMIN, IM TYPIN, SO YOU DONT KNOW HOW IM SOUNDIN. 2) THEY AINT GETTIN TO ME, I JUS HATE IGNORANCE AND THEY NEEDA BE EXPOSED, AND THATS WHAT IM HERRE TO DO. I KNOW I AINT GAY BUT I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER, MY LIL COUSIN IS GAY, AND IMA DEFEND HIM AND THE GAY COMMUNITY. ITS THE IGNORANCE I CANT STAND, AND THEY NEEDA BE EXPOSED.

@HemaFTW You have a good point, but let's get a bit more specific. It isn't religion in general that's the problem. The problem is ORGANIZED religion. Very few people in my family go to church or temple, and the ones that do are the more judgemental ones. What makes a preacher or rabbi any closer to god than anyone else? If you beleive in god (or godess or gods/godesses) you shouldn't need someone to tell you what god wants you to be.
