I was glad to read this statement...
In the long run, it doesn't matter whether orientation is caused by genes or conditioning! What matters is how people choose to declare themselves!
I've always gotten a kick out of those who assert that homosexuality is always an issue of nurture--or nature... As if we're in a position to know for certain such a thing. I'm sure many are born gay, but I'm sure some have been influenced in that direction. In the end, they are who they are.

Perhaps the most balanced article that I have read on the subject....

JunctionGuy: Do you get it now? Whatever small segment of the gay community you think you know, there is a "mainstream" out there that is not about making you fit into a cubbyhole.

Yeah. Sexuality is fluid 'n shit. LOLZ Im sorry but these threads sounds silly to me as I get older. Really people.
People are starving and aren't getting adequate health care and you're trying to figure out why I think about men's buttocks every 10..9..5 seconds? Seriously?
The planet won't become underpopulated and if your kid turns out gay (it's possible) then they can still have kids and um. I guess you can ell your friends that that otehr person is their roommates like parents have being doing for a while.
The article was kinda eh for me. I mean, my only thing with Ex-Gay groups is that a lot of people don't change and end up even more fucked up than before. it's not like, 'OH well I' realize I'm gay and I can be happy". Most of those people end up even more broken than going in before.
BUT in a pluralistic society you should be able to fuck up yourself anyway you like, yes? I don't know... people do all kinds of hurtful shit in order to fit in and Ex-Gay groups are like the plastic surgeons of the soul, selling dreams by parading exeptions instead of the general rule. I mean if you like girls then you like 'em. You shouldn't have to go to a group to show you how... so, if you have some generl desire or need to go to such a group then. Well... yeah, something is up, imo.
And again with choice, I thnk people are so use to this idea of what homosexuality leads to- promiscuity and the such- as if heterosexuality doesn't come with some hard choices as well- giving up your dreams to young to raise kids, unequal balance in relationships between men and women, abuse- such is life. Ther are some good ways to leave a fag or dyke as there is wasy to be a fucked up breeder.
