Former Ex-Gay Activist Admits Gay People Don’t Change

I agree that a person cannot "make" themselves gay or straight. I just disagree that the above should lead to the conclusion that people cannot change sexual orientation. I'm willing to bet that post-traumatic stress disorder from a rape by a male might make me averse to sex with men, thus making me a lesbian if not celibate. Sexuality is far more complex than people want it to be. You may be born that way and many people are. However, you may also shift that way for a number of reasons. "That way" meaning any sexuality, not just homosexuality.

"Normal" can be taken to mean statistically significantly more likely. However, in this thread, I believe kilic meant "normal" to mean "like me."

Passionatefool, a late welcome, but badassery abounds for you in this thread. Very good.
