Religious people!Would you send your children to a gay to straight conversion teraphy

I never thought that, so don't use that pronoun "we".

Is that said in jest?

Lol no

That says a lot about you
(and for clarification, not in a good light.)

This question is aimed at religious people. As a religious person, I need to follow my religion. My religion looks down on homosexuality and so I should do the best I can to uphold its views. As a person, I have nothing against gay people, I just disagree with their decision to be gay.

Well you can. If there is a murderer going around killing people, we can't tell them to carry on doing what they want to because "They are who they are", we have to stop them or send to therapy.

And this exemplifies ignorance.

Let me correct:
As a person, you follow your religion. That's kind of like (is, I think) circular reasoning you used there.
There's no obligations like that in life.
The religion you follow looks down on homosexuality (let's work on that premise), and you try to uphold its views the best (there's no "should" to it). Also, you try to uphold views which hurt people for something which doesn't hurt anything, so is morally wrong, I believe, and I'm not afraid to disagree with you and say it.
Homosexuals don't choose to be gay, and as there is no reason to believe this, this is actually mocking all those who have committed suicide because they couldn't change that aspect about themselves. Do you really think people would choose to be gay in this moral climate?

Now, just as a side note, two genes have been shown to be a factor in male homosexuality, and epigenetics, or gene expression, for the foetus in the mother's womb has been shown to be another, in both sexes this time. Neither of those do the homosexuals have any influence over. They're born gay.


Honestly, I'm predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual, and if I could, I'd choose to have equal attractions to both sexes, as it causes a myriad of complications to be sexually attracted, but necessarily romantically attracted to one, or vice versa.


Also, these "therapies" hurt them, so even if your religion disagreed with them, how can you go send them to pain, which won't even work? How bloody cruel can people get?

you try to uphold its views the best (there's no "should" to it).

Hinduism isn't homophobic.

Regardless of how much you disagree with homosexuality,I will say it and keep saying it: people are born gay.

No conclusive scientific evidence to prove that.

I am gay and I know I was born this way.
I think sexual orientation is caused by your neurological structure, and not your genes. This is what I personally think. Secondly, there is also no scientific evidence that SSA are picked up by the environment.
You may post articles which may promote the idea of nurture causing SSA, but I can provide you articles which claim genes do.
So there is no conclusion.

How do you know you were born this way?

From a young age, I knew that I had fondness for man.
During my growing up period I did not experience any kind of rape or sex abuse. I had a normal healthy childhood. I was not exposed to nudity or any such, in fact I am a Muslim so you can imagine that I had a pretty good childhood.
If I ask you , if you were born straight?
I mean its something you know that you were born with.

I guess so , i'd say its a norm tho. Do you think your orientation stems from your lack of female exposure?

Curious

As I said it is smth you were born with
If a lack of female exposure was the reason for SSA then I guess a lot of gays would exist in Saudi Arabia.
.

Ofcourse not, I never said that. That is natural selection. I have family friends who can't have children.

I am only stating that if its okay to be gay, then everyone could do it. The reality is, consequences of such an event would be disastrous.
