A spontaneous shift in sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual is by far the most common change that occurs in sexual orientation. Numerous studies have shown that both religiously and secularly mediated change in sexual orientation occurs in highly motivated, dissatisfied homosexuals at a rate that is at least comparable to the success rates generally achieved by therapists and counselors for other behavioral problems. And many studies have found that, for the most part, these are long-range, stable shifts in sexual orientation.

Anne Heche converted back. Ellen DeGeneres was her therapist.

I really hate to be a spoil sport because it makes me very unpopular especially in the world of religious professionalism.

But i have lived long enough to know that when the experts start talking about something and trying to explain it or make excuses for it always gives it the snowball affect.

I throw that name out there fairly regularly in discussions with queer agenda supporters. They really don’t like it, but don’t have much to counter with.

Thanks, interesting article. I read that 2/3 of the boys who self-identify as gay at 14, will label themselves straight at 18. And of the remainder, another 2/3 will self-identify as straight by age 21. But I wonder how that could be verified?

You should be sorry, seriously. That law violates the right of minors to self-determination, parental rights, and the rights of counselors and therapists to provide effective service to those who request it. And, for some minors, it is a sentence to a kind of life that they do not want.
