How does she explain actual, self-identified ex-gays?

By pretending they don't exist; even though they made a movie called "We Do Exist."

What is it when homosexuals encourage people to experiment with ‘bi’ (same) sex encounters?

Why is bi curious always taken to mean ‘gay’ when clearly the person has some doubt?

And homosexuals are grooming children in schools and libraries these days. Preteen drag shows? Pulease.

So much for consenting adults in private. They’ve come to convert your kids.

"a Christian gay-conversion camp"

Is there any such thing? I've never heard of one; my impression is that "gay conversion" is a one-on-one or small group form of therapy, just a form of counseling, not something like a drug-rehab facility.

It was on South Park so it must be true!

Note I am a South Park fan, but it’s still TV!

Yeah, I know lots of drug and sex addicts who tried to pray for for their healing, too, but many didn’t or haven’t made it. I know many whose prayers were answered.

Regardless, we should never teach our children that drug and sex addicts who are active and not in recovery are normal or good.

it’s a choice, and to me a bad one...not judging saying that,
can’t pray away free will..decide to not give in to those thoughts forever, God loves you..repenting is something every serious seeker does at some time..

It isn't just addictions or psychological problems where healing sometimes fails, but also physical illness. A friend just lost his wife to cancer after eight months of treatment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is common, but no one is calling for a ban on those treatments.

Notice this is second hand.

The people involved firsthand are not speaking up.

Why is it so terrible to try to convert? To try to get help to change? To try to change people that are errant?

Shouldn’t this all be free will? Why can a homo not seek help? Even if it never works, it is his right!

That begs the question: do they think that anything can be prayed away?

Only in the movies.

I know one man in San Francisco who has “switched”, at age 50+ no less, and is now genuinely heterosexual. He is quite wealthy and now has something like a harem of women.

It happened after a breakup with his longtime “ex”, of 25+ years, whom he had actually married when Gavin Newsom did his thing here.

It had nothing to do with religion or prayer that I know of. Some switch just suddenly flipped.

So she’s thankful she has brothers who loved her enough to ask God to keep her from destructive sin?
