You're telling me it's just a oneway street?

Kinda' narrow minded isn't it?? Door only swinging one way and such...?
where is the societal pressure to hide the fact that one is straight and pretend to be gay?

sexuality isn't a black and white thing though. plenty of people (possibly even most people) are bisexual to varying degrees.

Homosexuality is not normal in nature. It is actually abnormal. Alot of today's homosexuality can be fixed because it is a choice that they made to live an alternate lifestyle. For the true homosexuals that were really born mixed gender, that is a different story.

gender and sexuality are not the same thing.

and yeah, we all know how easy it is to choose who you're attracted to.

in any case, your view that homosexuality can be "fixed" has been disproven by numerous studies. try reading the first post in the thread.

I am a firm supporter of treatment for homosexuals. It was satan which caused them to become homosexual, therefore God can bring them back to being straight.

I don't care to read the cherry picked facts. I'm sure if you look around you will also find information stating the fact that alot of people these days CHOOSE to be gay for the alternate lifestyle, just like the hippie movement with their "free sex".
