The sad thing is that so many people here aren't even open to the possibility that some homosexuals might be suffering from their condition. It doesn't "suit" them to accept that possibility. It isn't "convenient" to their bigoted and selfish belief systems, so they will ridicule and mock anyone that challenges their belief.

How many gay people do you personally know?

If you actually ask any homosexuals, you will see that they do not feel that they are "suffering from their condition." To the extent that they are suffering, it's due to insufferable right-wing Christians such as yourself, who feel the need to step all over their lives and subjugate them. You can't fool us by telling us how compassionate you are toward them; actions and words suggest otherwise.

Are these the compassionate Christians you're talking about?

Here's a suggestion for you: just live your life with whatever opinions you have and leave others different from you alone to live theirs. They don't need your "help."

It's none of your business. There are probably even more that I don't know about because they are in the closet.

I suppose all the thousands of people who have been helped through the ministries are not real people. I suppose they don't represent thousands more, maybe even millions who might also benefit from the same type of help (if you believe the statistic that 1.5% of the population is homosexual.)

People on the left, on the other hand, just want to AVOID the entire problem.

They act as if EVERY INSTANCE of homosexuality was a result of the person being born that way. That seems so absurd and childish. Just treat the problem by "sweeping it under the rug."

Why don't we ever hear more about this particular issue in this regard?
You're calling "compassionate" trying to convince gays that it's all in their mind and offering (pushing on) them psychiatric "care" ?!! WOW, that's some bit of spin! You've got a lot of nerve! And you must think we're pretty stupid to fall for your line.

Your humanity and compassion are not good enough. You need facts to back up your claim which you don't have. No one is sweeping anything under the rug We choose to accept people for who they are and are not ashamed to admit it.
Growing up in catholic schools we were taught to love everyone so I think you are misguided.

They're suffering because they get beat up after class every day. Once they become adults, as the saying goes, "It gets better"

Perhaps we should go after the root cause of their suffering: bullies like you who can't accept their differences.

To call me that which is so far from the truth, indicates that you must be a bully of sorts.
