This is an interesting study. People who wish to free themselves from what is a sexual disorder should be able to. It will allow a path for some who started this journey in abuse and in the hands of those who groomed them to be used sexually to find a way out. There is always a way out even though those who claim to be tolerant would have these individuals trapped forever in a behavior that shortens their lifespans, goes against the basic reproductive health and fitness of an organism and is intertwined with some of the most lewd and obscene unhealthy behavior seen anywhere within society.

They can overcome. Please help support the research and the researchers that the left has attempted to destroy and has malign or else you may not soon have a choice.

"“Can therapy change sexual orientation? No. . . . [H]omosexuality . . . does not require treatment and is not changeable.”...

Says a bunch of gay non-scientists.

It's pretty clear that Homosexual deviation CAN be changed, and has been in many many cases.

A change in emotion has to follow a change in philosophy.

Am I the only one left who believes that God made Male and Female? That He knew/knows what He was/is doing? That no matter how many operations, that we are not God, thus, cannot change the person we are? We can cut off or make an opening, but that does not change who we are, the person that God made.

Am I the only one left who believes that God knows/knew what He was doing?

I hope these researchers are prepared for the nasty backlash by the pro-homo left.

Science is not consensus; and science based on consensus is not science, but propaganda.

I quit the APA in the early 1980’s due to their allowing politics to corrupt true scientific discourse.

The older schools of Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysts apparently had a fair amount of luck with such cases in spite of their utterly cockamamie worldviews.

Ever notice that lesbians mostly hook up with girls that look like men (not the TV fantasy), and Gay guys do basically the same, but in reverse?

Well that is the part that has always stood out as just a boldfaced lie. Another one is that molestation doesn’t play a role when the deeper one looks the more it is clear that it does. I know this because of a friend of mine who was molested by his gay uncle and today he identifies as gay. I do know he had normal interest in girls up till this event. Not all gays are but far too many have been and regardless of whether or not that is the case the behavior is simply incorrect and while people are free to do incorrect things the idea that the whole of society should be shaped to prop up a myth to service the egos of sexual activists is insane and hurtful to those who really do need help.

I don't think we should give pshrinks license to change sexual orientation. If we do I honestly don't believe they will restrict themselves to gay-to-str8 reorientation. I think, for example, they will start doing things like helping young men reorient to a "more natural & less stressful" bisexuality. Or determine that some poor confused child SHOULD be gay and reorient him out of his "confused" heterosexuality.

Better to keep this sort of thing in family support groups and healthy church environments for people that want to do it and make a willful and prayer driven choice.

99% lesbian and homosexual relations are based on sex. They subconsciously confuse lust for love, which is why when the sex ends, so does the relationship 99% of the time.

There are "same sex" relations based on love, but they can't really be called "homosexual" because there is no sex involved.

I know it and even secularist should believe it. There is no good rational reason to support homosexual behavior. Sometimes it is easy to get sucked in. Some here think because they have a relative or have shared a beer with a person who is gay that it means they must accept and promote gay activism which is irrational in itself. It is a pervasive acid of the soul and from a religious point of view it should be repugnant. Not because of Leviticus but because of the first commandment laid down by God at the foundation of the world. Evolutionists and biologists I would think would even be more alarmed about the inaccurate regressive ideas that come out of the homosexual movement but instead they allow their fear of religion trump everything even their basic reason. It isn’t a surprise that most scientists are liberal and it also isn’t surprised that most liberals don’t do well on basic science.
Those two facts alone should bring anyone to pause.

Ya but if homosexuals can be turned straight, then that means myself, Clint Eastwood, George Washington, George W. Bush could be turned gay-- and that is sooooooo sooooooooo not possible. I don't care if I was raised by Rosie O'Donnell I wouldn't be gay.
