Can Gays be Cured?

Ok just to be clear homophobic might have been a strong word to use..

What do you call someone that fears homosexual expereinces? But doesn't discriminate against them socially?

Good. Did you read all of the short article? The author made the same point as you:

“Just because something occurs in the natural world doesn't make it 'right' for humans.”

My response was because you said “There's alot of biological evidence that would suggest homosexuality isn't genetical. Therefore its created by the mind which conflicts with the natural order of your body and its functions.”

Are you dismissing all this homosexual activity in the animal kingdom as nothing to do with genetic predisposition and nothing to do with “the natural order”, whatever you mean by that? Is the rest of the animal kingdom not part of this “natural order”?

I think you had it right in your OP, you can’t help it, it’s part of your cultural programming. Perhaps “gay people” can’t help it for more fundamental reasons.

I don’t know exactly how many, but Gay people appear to swing both ways, how would you describe them?

If it was something innate in their nature, they would altogether avoid the opposite sex which usually isn’t the case even years after they have established their sexual orientation.

I've also read about cases of identical twins that only one is Gay, you can find many cases from all over the world, seems like a conscious choice rather than a genetical one.

I imagine such people are called bi-sexual.

Nonsense. By this logic you would altogether avoid the same sex. Your current avatar suggests this is not the case.

So when you reached puberty did you contemplate and make a concious choice to be heterosexual then? Could you summarise the thought process that you went through, you know weighing up the pro's and con's, before finally coming to your conscious decision?

Looks like a choice to me, too; but not necessarily a conscious one. There is something in nature called 'imprinting' where the brain at certain times takes experiences, images, and faces to burn them into itself as permanent reference material or as mental anchors. Newly hatched birds are the best example of this. Trying to think of some human examples: an infant, a 5-7 year old boy's crushes, teenage crushes, and traumatic experiences. These all demonstrate that imprinting is a necessary part of our psychology.

Great post very informative..

What I’ve learnt from my ex colleague I mentioned, is nowadays, being a homosexual, you become part of a tribe, you can compare it any other minority people, like mine for instance when I used to live in the UK I had a vast social network of Greek Cypriot friends, and we would look up to those in prominent positions, seek favor and alignment, something that Afro-Caribbean, Jews and countless other people like JW do as well. This I used to find very appealing not because it’s exclusive but because you become a kind of protector of a certain culture and also feel certain protections within its realm. And this is a conclusion I came to while talking with my ex colleague who used to invite me out with his circle of Gay friends and vice versa with me and my Cypriot hetro ones, but never did. So it could also give a psychological sense of belonging as well which can be very powerful.
 
The point being that homosexuality is not psychopathological. Therefore, how do you fix something that isn't broken?
 
Lets hope that this organisation have pedophiles on the list? Not that im comparing Gays with pedophiles in anyway, just seeing what they constitute as a mental illness?

What if theres a pedophile gene?
 
My question is: is there a cure for homophobia ?

I think yes.................... education............ :)
 
because if they cant constitue pedophilia as psychopathological then wouldn't conisder them valid. Which I change my mind on now cause I think its just plain evil.
