Brokeback Syndrome — More Than One Way Off the Mountain

[A CA Guy]

It's a film about adultery where they cheat as homosexuals.

Hollywood loves gays and adulterers.

Hey, I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that shepherds would sleep with each other when the job comes with a harem.

[BenLurkin]

LOL!

[King Moonracer]

the co-worker described how he had experienced healing from compulsive sexuality

The homosexuality illness in a nutshell indeed.

[digger48]

That's so baaaaaad

[golfisnr1]

This is a perfect example of Hollyweird trying to force feed an agenda. It is falling flat on its face and is a finacial disaster.

Have you ever noticed how similar the homosexual groups' reaction to ex-homosexuals is to the evolutionary establishment's reaction to scientists who don't believe in macro-evolution? "No such thing!" "They never really were!" "Religious fanatics!"

Mr. Savage writes: "…if anyone reading this believes that gay men can actually become ex-gay men, I have just one question for you: Would you want your daughter to marry one?" Is Mr. Savage correct?

Yes, he is, for once.

Ya know, sometimes you're just saddled with a whole heard of ugly sheep.

This piece had one really interesting question that I'd be curious to hear a lot of FReepers answer:

How would you feel if your daughter married a man who claimed to be a reformed homosexual?

Can't imagine my daughter ever being attracted to someone like that, but if she did want to marry an ex-gay, I'd be horrified. On the other hand I'd be equally horrified if she wanted to marry a man who had been a serial heterosexual adulterer. Such people have shown that they don't have much ability to resist temptation, and there is always temptation.

[WalterSkinner]

..reprobate minds...

Me too, which points to something of a problem. On the one hand we encourage gays to join groups like Exodus and leave the gay lifestyle, but on the other hand, we're never going to truly let them put it behind them.

I'd check him out REALLY carefully, hear his story, get to know him really well. I know men who have been healed through Exodus Intl. It is a good solid program.

[Politicalmom]

Depends on what you mean by "reformed homosexual". I don't want my daughters marrying ANY man who has been sexually active. (And the same goes for any woman my son wishes to marry.)

[Capriole]

There are some women who are willing to take them on. The ex-gays can put their homosexual history behind them with those women. My daughter and I aren't among them. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but if I married an ex-gay, every time I got into bed with him I'd be thinking about what he'd done with men and I'd be sickened. It has nothing to do with forgiveness per se--after all, the ex-gay man has done nothing to me for which I need to forgive him. It's just the gross-out factor.

Anyway, I tend to go for real guys who love women and absolutely love having sex with us, not metros and not people who have to work on being attracted to women.

[Melas]

I wouldn't want one of my daughter's hooked up with an ex-gay either. Which just goes to prove my point. Ex-gays are never going to be really welcomed in heterosexual circles.

...is another New York Times op-ed by Dan Savage...

Not Michael...

[Darkwolf377]

No, Dan Savage is a gay hysteric, while Mikey is the straight-ish hysteric.
