If you're reading this, and are considering this ex-gay "therapy" crap in any way, please know something. Even though it's all a sham and doesn't work at all, please know this.

You don't have to change for me. I love you just the way you are. You're good enough for me.

Sexuality and Gender Identity are biologically created and are not a lifestyle choice. They can be repressed but not changed. You can no more pray away the gay tham you can pray away having red hair. Certainly, when you choose to be in a relationship you do not act on every sexual feeling or attraction but that does not mean that you can somehow change who and what you are sexually attracted to. This "Reparative Therapy" idea is a joke. Their success rate is abyssmal.

The suffering this young man has gone through (and continues to go through) is the result of a segment of our society which still believes it is morally viable to condemn homosexuals, regardless of the harm it causes to these people Thankfully, we're starting to realize that the condemnation itself is the really violation.

@intwinpeaks3 that was nice :)

[maximum18]

its his parents. thats the real reason he wants to "pray the gay away"

[Agentseaturtle]

I'm still new to christianity and everything that they believe, but I specifically remember the

bible saying that the first comandment is to love. That's the only difference between a strait person or a gay person. They choose to love different people. Telling people that they are an abomination is not loving someone.

I once attempted to pray the gay away, then I took an arrow in the knee.

He doesn't have to marry a woman to escape the club scene.
