Did he eventually get "infected" with gay?Kind of reminds me of a guy who did...ahem..."research" in the homosexual resort town of Provincetown MA where he was forced to take all of his meals and drinks in gay bars.

Conversion therapy suggests to vulnerable people that their sexuality is the root cause of their difficulties. This is misleading and prejudiced. Questions around sexuality and identity can be challenging and difficult. Nevertheless, we believe it would be irresponsible and potentially damaging for a therapist to offer to try and change sexual orientation. The UK Council for Psychotherapy states: ‘It is exploitative for a psychotherapist to offer treatment that might ‘cure’ or ‘reduce’ same sex attraction as to do so would be offering a treatment for which there is no illness.’ |
What makes you think it's a priority to find a specifically "gay gene"?
Surely genetic research has many more urgent human conditions to learn about than what just happens to make some people gay? Being gay isn't exactly a congenital dysfunction and I suspect it will emerge anyway one day.
Please don't put words in my mouth aCW. I rather suspect that if someone is bisexual to some degree then environmental factors may well have some effect, but I doubt that anyone is ever "cured" of being bisexual.
Also I've never even suggested that there is anything perverted in simply being gay, nor have I said that any conscious choice is involved, please try to get something right occasionally.
If you go back and check aCW I had already altered my bad wording after I reread it, you were a bit too quick. But please do comment again if you wish.
Meanwhile in other news I gather that:
The UK National Health Service has recently banned "reparative therapy" for same sex attraction.

Gave you a cite for it. Did you know you could look it up directly?
So I understand.
You mean like the programs once pushed by Exodus International? What do they say about it?
Exodus International (1978): The ministry selected 30 of their 800 members as having changed from exclusively homosexual to exclusively heterosexual in orientation. Two outside psychiatrists interviewed the 30 and found that only three were actually heterosexual.
I notice that "reparative therapy" seems to be based on the same principles as the therapy given Alex in A Clockwork Orange.
It didn't last for Alex, either.
The LGBTQueer movement and it's pedophile faction just won't accept the truth will theyDavid ThorstadTracerBullet?
The above picture showing gay activist/North American Man Boy Love Association founder David Thorstad
they haven't found the left handed gene eitherWith the millions and millions of dollars spent and all thescientistsquacks that have jumped on the LGBTQueer bandwagon, you'd think after all these years that elsuive 'gay gene" would have been found.
There is no African American gene either yet black people still exist...or do you think that is a choice too?You acknowledge that no 'gay' gene has been found and deny environmental factors are behind same sex desires but instead come up with the brilliant deduction that people "just happen" to choose perversion? How did that "just happen" Al?
and some people acknowledge that their headaches are caused by the tracking device that extraterrestrials have planted in their skulls.Actually Al, not all "gay people" (i.e. people with same sex desires) have said that. Those who have an open mind about their unnatural desires acknowledge that it was environmental factors that caused them to have same sex desires.
Since we were on the topic of that ever so elusive "transsexual gene", here's an interesting article on Walt Heyer's website:
62.7% of Transgenders Have Untreated Mental Disorders
12/29/2014
A stinging new report finds that the majority of patients with gender dysphoria had at least one psychiatric Axis I comorbidity, the most common being major depressive disorder (33.7%), specific phobia (20.5%), and adjustment disorder (15.7%) [a].
Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis of depression. Yet being identified as a transsexual or diagnosed with gender dysphoria often stands in the way of getting a proper diagnosis of the comorbid or underlying psychopathologies.
Depression and Axis 1 disorders can be treated properly with psychiatric medication in conjunction with effective talk therapy. No change of gender is required.
Yet gender change pushers in the medical community continue to steer patients toward gender change as the first and only treatment. They don’t look for comorbid disorders in the transgender patient. They don’t consider that by pushing patients toward gender change they are preventing them from being diagnosed and treated for another disorder that, according to this study, is likely to be present in two-thirds of patients. For patients undergoing gender change, this can be a quick trip to suicide. For example, for the ones who suffer from major depressive disorder, when they are not diagnosed and treated for the depression, suicide is a highly likely outcome...

Legitimate help is out there for people who want it, whether it be for overcoming same sex desires, or gender confusion.
GID (gender identity disorder) patients suffer from permanent dissatisfaction with several aspects such as gender identity, interpersonal and social relationships, and educational and occupational development. They may find negative attitudes toward themselves from society and their family. Minority stress and social exclusion predispose them to experience more negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. |
As you know aCW unlike you I think it is far more reasonable to accept the words of gay people themselves who testify that they did not choose to be gay, rather than assume that they are all liars, particularly since I didn't choose my own, just as other heterosexuals will seem to overwhelmingly concur.As I've mentioned many times before Al, it's so very important for the LGBTQueer movement to find that elusive 'gay' gene for the simple fact that without it there would be no justification for HATE CRIME LEGISLATION (if homosexuality is indeed a changeable behavior, then special protection isn't needed for those who choose not to change).

But unlike you I don't have an agenda to control the lives of others when they seem to do things that are not to my own taste. IOW I will simply continue to presume there is a "gay gene" until it becomes clear that people are picking and choosing what their sexual orientation is.
I suggest that it is people like you who fear the existence of a "gay gene", which if identified would remove all shadow of doubt that the likes of your beloved AFTAH richly deserve to be designated a hate group.
I will give aCW credit for one thing, he has the most impressive collection of images regarding the sexual minorities I have ever seen!
I don't know, but that jacket would look great on me. :rotfl:I see quite a few similarities between you and TracerBullet, are you two by chance one of those identical 'gay' twins that Al keeps talking about?
I don't know, but that jacket would look great on me. :rotfl:
I did it for others. I must say that I'm surprised that your link didn't come from The Advocate .
Then you understand that same sex desires can be changed.
So 3 were able to change?
I feel sorry for Alan Chambers, undoubtedly he was passing by a public restroom toilet stall one day and his past life got the best of him.
That being said: Shall we discuss the numerous other EX Gay organizations that still exist and still are helping people overcome homosexual desires?

Not quite four percent, if the psychiatrists got it right.
I've always pictured you as the Liberace type.
