Make him straight, its a mental problem, it CAN be fixed. And kids dont turn gay if they are raised PROPERLY, and bad influences are avoided.
A bad influence won't make your kid gay.

It might, if parents aint acting properly. Or he/she hangs out with bad people. Again: Monkey see, monkey do. So when they see / hang around with gays, they wanna try it too. To become "cool".

Please think carefully about this before you answer: How to you know it is only a mental condition? Then answer a second question: If homosexuality is only a mental condition, then explain how heterosexuality is NOT a mental condition. Be careful with your answers, as these question are "loaded". oh, by the way, sice we're talking about mental health, leave the bible out of your thesis.

I totally disagree.

I don't believe people become gay just to fit in with their friends and "become cool".

1. Its a mental illness. Who would go against nature if he/she is healthy? I know it because its not normal. Its like ADHD. A problem in yer head.
2. heterosexuality aint a mental illness because its how we are designed, straight people can get kids, gays dont. Period.

AND YEAH I THINK CAREFULLY
Oh god I am the AMERICAN DREAM.
AND IM A MISERABLE SON OF A *****!

I hear you sayingl, "IT'S MENTAL ILLNESS!" But how do you know you are correct? On what intellectual basis do you make this claim? How is it that you know this?

There are two theories I have...

1- People are gay because they are brainwashed into it, like a cult. They are emotionally vulnerable, coming from broken homes, or they are victims of abuse, and they wind up suckered into the cult of homosexual perversion. The older homosexuals try to convince young and confused kids, "the reason you are sad isn't because your dad beats you and your mom is using heroin, it's because you're really gay but you're not being true to that part of you! You need to be gay so you can be happy!" Once the kid starts experimenting with gay sex they have a powerful hold over him and they keep him mired in that gutter lifestyle for as long as they can, using him to recruit others. This is what I consider the scientific theory.

2- People are gay because they were such vile sinners that God entirely withdrew from their lives and left them to fall into the most horrid and vile forms of depravity. It was only natural they would become homosexuals. This is what I consider the scriptural theory.
