True, a guy who preaches conversion therapy and 20 years later admits he was, in fact, gay the whole time has been VERY confused for a long time.

It's always good when people stop being confused.

Cummings stressed that he favors “gay rights” and “gay marriage,” but he says an individual must decide what to do with his or her orientation, not the APA or homosexual activists. He says people have a right to disagree about “gay rights” and “gay marriage,” but that among the APA leadership “that’s not allowed. You only hear one side of the issue.”


and this was in 2012

jew do condemn homosexuality
jews who don't follow Judaism.

the iben ezra makes it clear that homosexuality is included in the word niyuf that is in the original hebrew.

Why is conversion therapy wrong, but transgender therapy okay? It’s not okay to change who we think we are, but okay to change who we really are?

Not that I really care, but just wondering if someone can explain this to me without accusing me of being something that I am not.

...so that I don’t have to go to transposter conversion therapy.

I presume this is our double-standards at work?

Because gay people don’t need any change, mentally or physically, to be who they really are and have always been. Trans people do.

But only because they want to. What if a gay person wants to be heterosexual or vice-versa? Seems to me a person should have the freedom of being whatever sexual orientation they want.

Interesting point, some movie producers to some tv-movies about hetero who come out of the closet and will there be a tv-movie showing the other way?

Because gay conversion therapy has been proven to not work and just make them even worse off mental health wise.
