You know that knife can cut both ways as gays complain about heteros who are conflicted. Gays can have sexual attraction toward the opposite sex but you'll never hear one of them admit it because that would place their sexual identity at odds with the "community" and you know how nasty the gay mafia can be. Already being insecure about how you're perceived in society, a gay who admits a sexual attraction for the opposite sex would surely be ostracized.

I wonder if those are the kinds of gays voluntarily going to Bachmann's clinic?

"Almost"? Being gay is not remotely "the in thing", despite the political advances that have been made on behalf of gay rights. Anybody who thinks being gay is privileged, betrays their ignorance.

I agree, any clinic that gives people the false belief that they can pray the gay away is sick and backwards.

I don't think it works as well the opposite way. Heterosexuality is not stigmatized, so gays would not be trying to suppress it to fit in with society. And I assure you, many gays have tried to be straight, or have had sex with the opposite sex, and no matter how hard they tried, could not change. Gays also don't tend to call heterosexuals demonic spawns, unnatural, disgusting, vile, child molesters, etc. like the anti-gay crowd does.

It's not a valid comparison.

Gay ‘barbarians’ storm Bachmann clinic demanding to be ‘disciplined’ (Video) – LGBTQ Nation

There's video on the link. It's funny and pathetic at the same time.

Why should anyone take seriously a group like this who uses guerrilla tactics to get their point across. Going into a private business to throw glitter around when they are denied access.

Private clinic, nobody twists anyone's arm to go there for treatment.
The far left largely behaves badly. From union supporting flashmobs protesting Wal-Mart employment practices to gay protestors tresspassing at a private clinic, they think they are entitled to physically intrude, trespass upon private property, and disrupt the course of business.

Is the OP really surprised?

If a "gay" person also has attractions to the opposite sex, then they are bisexual, not gay.

I don't know who or what the "gay mafia" are. Sounds like a term that an anti-gay person might make up.

No, it's usually the far right with people like you attacking everyone for their beliefs and then lying about what the far left does.

Of course....your statement is simply correct. The behavior of these people is repulsive...disgusting.
