Do you think homosexuality can be "cured"?
 

Just curious who here thinks homosexuality is a "disease" that can be "cured"?

do you think people are born homosexual?

or do you think it is something that can be cured because it is a disease?

no , its not a disease!

Can't believe there's still people out there who think it's a disease... *shakes head*

They are born that way, it cannot be cured.

its not a disease but im quite sure its not something youre born with.

There are for example many identical twins of which one half is 'gay'.

I just see a lot of people that are really scared of homosexuality, and I am just curious

to be honest, I really honestly think that tons of people on this board would be in tears if locked in a room with a gay man....either that or the gay man would not live through the night

it is just sad really to see such hypocritical people......gay women are all right, but gay men are disgusting...LOL......

do you think i can be cured of enjoying lobster?

no

if lobsters carried aids, would i quit eating them?...of course, but i might get drunk in maine one night...and well, human nature always wins :1orglaugh

Nope..they are born that way

well ive been gay my whole life and believe me, its hard wired. I liked men before I knew what sex was, I always had an attraction to men.
I did NOT want this when I was younger and had no friends and felt like an outcast over it. who the fuck would "choose" that as a young person?

bvf has a great peice on his audio blog called "How stella got a gay man" http://mrnogood.com/ skip ahead about 18 minutes and he talks about a gay kid he went to school with, and I was the same way as a kid lol. its funny to listen to and its so true :1orglaugh

Unfortunately, you are right. There are many that are hypocritical about it being okay for women but not for men.


Ironically, many of those same people will push for equality and rights while being smut peddlers. :disgust

yea just stop duh?

Actually recent studies have proven it is a disease caused by an overabundance of the homophilis bacteria in the brain. I'm actually going to be taking over the world soon by infecting large city water supplies with mass amounts of mutant versions of this bacteria.

It's definitely not a disease...

. . . bi-curious?


I suggest you go out on a few dates with some men and see how it goes. If you're gay, we won't care. You will be a lot happier if you aren't hiding your true self.

What about the people who "turn" gay when they're in their 20's, 30's and 40's? Is it mostly kept hidden in their early years?

yes it is

I don't say it can be cured, but it can be avoided. it will always start inside the family. the parents must demonstrate unconditional love to their children so that when he grows up he would know the right thing to do and avoid the homosexual practice. I would like to make it clear that homosexuals are not bad but homosexuality or the thing they do.

Thanks for the laugh... :1orglaugh ...

True enough....a disease should not be an options at this poll.

Thanks for that post. Needed a good laugh.

homosexuality like any other sexuality is developed in socialization.
it is not a disease.
whoever claims to understand sexuality is ignorant.

oh my god you can;'t be for real

what are you fucking retareded? people don't "turn" gay

This book I was read "mapping of the Mind" it says that a part of their brain is different than nongay people, so i guess if they find a pill that can change that part of the brain, they can be straight again.

its not that people are born to be gay, I think its a matter of upbringing. their environment directly affects their sexual orientation. no one turns gay all of a sudden, its just a timing of realization and self acceptance.

hey its not a disease...


homosexuality, a term created by 19th cent. theorists to describe a sexual and emotional interest in members of one's own sex. Today a person is often said to have a homosexual or a heterosexual orientation, a description intended to defuse some of the long-standing sentiment among many Westerners that homosexuality is immoral or pathological. Homosexual practices are not afforded any special moral or psychological significance in many other cultures. A survey of 190 societies around the world (1951) reported that homosexual practices were considered acceptable behavior in approximately 70% of them.
The description of homosexuality as an orientation also suggests, as some contemporary theorists have argued, that the boundaries between ?homosexual? and ?heterosexual? are not necessarily rigid. Some studies have indicated that most individuals have some erotic interest in both sexes, whether overt or not. The open expression of interest in both sexes is known as bisexuality. Transsexuals are distinguished from homosexuals by the feeling that they are really members of the opposite sex. Male and female homosexuals are now commonly known as gays and lesbians, respectively.

Would you change to love guys ?
I dont think so , so why should they learn how to love girls ?

if it was a sickness , it would be cured with a pill these days , and so far it isnt so ..................................

I love gay guys :) not gay myself but if they are not acting girly i have nothing against them

I didn't know it was a sickness !!!!!! http://www.waypointcash.com/temp/emo/doubt.gif

homo = sick.

reality is - I'm willing to bet it can be cured.

but so can hertosexuality.....................

I think your options are a tad limited. There are a lot of people who think homosexuality is a product of environment that certainly wouldn't consider it a disease. And those people might consider that homosexual behaviour can be altered. Saying it can be "cured" implies that it's something negative, which i don't believe it is. I'm undecided on whether or not people are born gay or of it is an environmental thing. I don't really care, though. Doesn't really matter either way.
