2. No and if I did I know it'd be Bullshit |
|
because it's never worked because they've always went back to being gay or lesbian.

3. isn't "ex-gay" like "ex-alcoholic |
|
meaning, they haven't had the jam with a member of the same sex in a while - but they still think about it all the time?

5. Do I have anything against Ex-Gays? |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 04:18 PM by La_Serpiente
No. I just get ticked when they tell me my lifestyle is wrong. They should know better. There is a lot of discrimnation gays and lesbians face. They shouldn't be encouraging it.
But honestly, I haven't met any ex-gays in my life nor have I known any.

I'm not gay but have always been offended by the idea that gays can be "converted". Hell, I get pissed when people use the word "gay" to mean stupid or useless. A guy I work with does it all the time and I just want to pound him in to the dirt for it. I've told him many times that it is just passive-agressive gay bashing and that he should cut it out. Alas, he still does it all the time.

Maybe that's because they don't exist?

I dont think its always a religious/political/moral move. How to bi-sexuals fit into this mold?

13. I agree that it is not a |

religious/political/moral move.
It's biological for gays and bi's.

14. Do brief encounters in the washroom count as "knowing"? |
|
sorry. couldn't resist.
point is, brainwashing people against their nature doesn't count.... or work.

17. Several of my college buddies who were gay then, got married |
|
later to women. Usually to high school sweethearts, etc. I asked them why, and they would shrug, "Well, it's what we are SUPPOSED to do, isn't it?" Then they grinned and said, "But I still get guys on the side..."
What-the-fuck-ever!!! At the very least, it's unfair to the women they married!! And dangerous, as well, medically speaking, although this was waaay back in the early 70s, before AIDS.
But legitimate 'ex-gays'??? No, this is somewhat different.
