This clip from a 2004 interview with Dr. Robert Spitzer discusses his study of people who reported changes in aspects of homosexual orientation. In this clip, he discusses the purpose of the study, why he believed his participants, and what he learned from the study. Produced by Warren Throckmorton, PhD
I love how NARTH uses this as proof of something.
First, the guy had to struggle to find enough people who would even talk about their experience in 'ex-gay" conversion (when NARTH clams TENS of THOUSANDS are changed).
Next he states that none of them claim to actually become heterosexual.
Then he states that this does not prove that homosexuals can become hetero, but that it may not be IMPOSSIBLE to act hetero while homosexual. It's called THE CLOSET-we've known about it for a long time.

Do gays believe that straight people's can't become gay? If you can be straight and then "become gay" then you can be gay and become straight. All it takes to become gay is to loosen your morals and accept a less discriminating approach to the objects in the world you wish to mate with. So it is no surprise that becoming straight is more difficult because it is a process of improvement, like quitting smoking or not driving so fast or being more disciplined in your diet or work ethic.
