Survey results from a study conducted by People Can Change, a nonprofit organization that seeks to help people with unwanted same-sex attractions (SSA), show that over half of those who sought counseling for SSA felt their attractions diminish as a result.

According to the survey, which was released Friday, 55 percent of those who sought out this kind of counseling experienced SSA with less intensity and frequency than before they received help. Additionally, 71 percent of those surveyed said they were either "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the counseling they received.

This in light of the recent passage by both California houses of SB 1172, the bill to ban all forms of SOCE (sexual orientation change efforts) for minors in therapy: --the bill is in the process of being sent to Governor Jerry Brown for his consideration.

Of course, the idea that there are people with unwanted attraction towards members of the same sex is to be ruthlessly persecuted as being bigotry and Homophobia by the elites.

IMHO, most of today’s homosexuals weren’t “born that way”. Right now, homosexuality is just a fad. A form of rebellion. Especially among the young school girls who run around pretending to be lesbians. They’re just being morons.

This NPO will be shut down in 3...2...1...

Well, THATS not going to go over well among the sheet biters.

Laws still can't alter human nature. For those with homosexual leanings who seek to develop a normal healthy sex life, the science is uncontroversial--it takes motivation but can be done. Like breaking addictions, treatment is not always successful, but no one is going around outlawing drug treatment just because it is not guaranteed success.

[Tanniker Smith]

Is this counseling covered under Obamcare?

Especially among the young school girls who run around pretending to be lesbians. They’re just being morons.

Ya think? It's harvest season for well adjusted, heterosexual males that are self-assured.

Conversion to hetronormal can be quick, given the right stimulus.

Also with repentance and Jesus!

[scottjewell]

I have felt this way for some time, too. It’s hip to be gay, for now. With any luck it will go the way of the disco era.

[scottjewell]

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

[jagusafr]

IMHO (based on Scripture), NOBODY was born that way. Everybody I know who claims to be homosexual has been either the victim of physical abuse (same sex or opposite sex) or mental abuse.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree with that too.

We will have to pass a Pro Family Constitution Amendment that bans Sodomy and prosecute the Gays and Lesbians and give them treatment to banish their Sodomite Demons.

[huldah1776]

And it will never show up in the text books.

[scottjewell]

I would imagine that would start a civil war now, Uncle.

[newzjunkey]

What scripture says no one may be born homosexual? I must’ve missed that one.

[liberlog]

The bill to ban all efforts to change minors’ sex orientation is about as silly as this study.

[scottjewell]

What’s silly about the study?

[jagusafr]

Scripture says it’ll keep people out of heaven. God won’t saddle you wih anything that you can’t overcome with His help. “No temptation has seized you except that which is common to man”.

So, yep.
