After g...Oh look, Tom has flip-flopped back again.<br /><br />After getting his ass handed to him through common sense reasoning and logic, and conceding that homosexuality is not a choice but rather a deviance of nature, Tom is now babbling about "reparative therapy".<br /><br />Let's take a look at a couple of leaders in the field.<br /><br />One of the leading psychologist in the field of reparative therapy, George Rekers, claimed to have successfully treated a boy named Kirk Murphy. But Murphy's family said he never stopped being gay, and the boy eventually committed suicide. As for Rekers, his <br />days as a prominent anti-gay champion came to an end after he hired a male escort to accompany him on a trip to Europe. It seems that even the one claiming homosexuality could be cured was really just pretending not to be gay himself. Typical.<br /><br /><br />Another huge name in the field, psychiatrist Robert L. Spitzer, apologized for his 2003 study of reparative therapy, which suggested that it could help gays and lesbians become straight. He said it was deeply flawed.<br /><br />"I believe I owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the efficacy of reparative therapy," Spitzer said in a letter to the editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior. "I also apologize to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some 'highly motivated' individuals."<br /><br />But some people still see money to be made in the field so they will try to carry on.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-26343206494010709942012-10-26T08:26:53.928-04:002012-10-26T08:26:53.928-04:00These syllogistic arguments are off the mark.

Research into what causes homosexuality has been limited to the biological/genetic because that would serve the homosexual agenda's argument that it's irreversible.<br /><br />Research into other causes like being molested early in life by other homosexuals is ignored because it's pathological and works against their agenda. Evidence for that cause is widespread, but ignored.<br /><br />Male homosexuals have a lifespan more than twenty years shorter than heterosexual men because their lifestyle is unhealthy in so many overlapping ways. Choosing to change would be difficult - not unlike choosing to stop smoking when you discover that it can kill you. It's difficult, but not impossible.<br /><br />It would involve an admission that homosexuality is an unhealthy deviation - and they won't do it. Rather, they ban reparative therapy as California has done. They're doubling down on their lie.Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-61662105125691526842012-10-26T07:39:12.184-04:002012-10-26T07:39:12.184-04:00Big big difference between a gay man who is very f...Big big difference between a gay man who is very feminine and some child raping monster.

To say that some guy enters prison and "chooses" to be gay while there and then " chooses" to be straight again when released is simply silly. That's about deviant sexual behavior--- no emotional connection, no true relationship--- just getting off like some animal. Big big difference and to infer otherwise is irresponsible and short sighted. <br /><br />You are right about the cool factor. As I stated in my previous post there is a massive gay is cool campaign coming from Hollywood. It seems to me that the whole thing is about making the general population even more submissive and stupid, if that's possible. It isn't about homosexuality. <br /><br />How do you explain Socrates and Plato----they all kept "boys" around. Were they homosexual? Deviant? Perverted? <br /><br />Are priests choosing to be gay when they molest little boys? <br /><br />Maybe look at like Down's syndrome.

There are body parts that won't cooperate. Are you claiming that some straight men CAN be turned on by other men? Well then they aren't completely straight, are they?<br /><br />I, like other straight men, could no more choose to be turned on by a naked male than I could choose to be turned on by a kitchen cabinet.<br /><br />This negates all you say about homosexuality being a choice.

I also thought Jesus taught tolerance and love? What's with the hate? Why does it bother you if someone is gay? Wether or not they are born that way?<br /><br /> I am with you in the promotion of the gay lifestyle though. Just look at the current tv sit coms. The promotion of being gay is seemingly aimed at emasculating us. And it's working. The same people pushing the eugenics agenda seem to be behind this gay freak show we see on the tv, movies and magazines. Hard to fight back against the oppressors when all the men are fags....make no mistake, thismis intentional and deliberate. <br /> I find it scary and very very sad. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't be allowed to love who they wish. Despite what I mentioned above it seems that homosexuality is natural. Perhaps chemical? Don't rule out the American diet as being responsible too. GMO foods, bpa, these are serious chemicals messing with our genes.<br /><br />Marriage? Why do we need the govt to intervene in our personal lives? I've never understood it? Just another money making scam ( look into the de beers diamond engagement ring conspiracy )<br /><br />And the church? Well. How can you rail against gays and not mention the church? the relentless and ever present peadophelia and pederasty going on within the confines of the church is sickening and beyond hypocrisy. Think of what Sandusky got away with and multiply by a million.<br /><br />Overall, homosexuality always has made me uncomfortable, but it doesn't really bother me--- what free people do in a free society is up to them.
