But why not let them have their own beliefs, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. They believe they can cure homosexuality, whoope-do for them.

I remember how it used to be treated as a mental disorder.

That is not what it means to be heterosexual! If you're still attracted to the same sex, then whether you decide to act on it or not, the only thing you're "cured" of is being yourself. Sexual attraction is both extremely simple and extremely complicated. On the complicated side, people often don't seem to know exactly what they like because they don't realize that it's possible to fall outside of a set category. This can lead to misconceptions about what "category" they fall into and what the reasons are behind their finding attractions to certain people. On the simple side, you like what you like because it's simply how you were made. There's not much to be done about that, as sexuality is one of the basic natural parts of our physical being. No matter how well you "train" yourself to go against your own instincts and natural desires, they'll always still be there beneath the surface.

Agreed.

Why must you post thirty thousand threads about being gay, and imply that your gay in every one of them?

hmmmm just would of been ironic (although not surprising) or something if they didnt do something similar to black people, like being black was a mutation and they needed to be turned white again.

I feel like this is directed at me. I might be wrong, but anyways, I said "Extremist Christians", not just Christians.
