How do you know what it does or does not require? Every situation is unique, and should be left up to the individual to decide what steps he should or should not take. Taking options like this off of the table forces people to make societally specific decisions.

Quote:And, really, if they don't want to be gay, the truth is, it's not their call. There may not be a single "Gay gene," but, as complicated as the genetics behind sexuality is, there's still a consensus that you can't change it with therapy.
Holy crap, are you serious? What about every other red blooded man who has been married for 20 years who has been hit on buy a younger woman? How does any of that sexual want and desire for that younger woman any less valid than a super charged appetite for a sausage fest?
What if my "herto-gene" is telling me have sex with my cleaning lady? Is that ok? Or what if I do not find blondes attractive anymore? Or I don't want to be an ass man anymore, what if I want to switch to boobs? Is it ok to switch my wife for one with a smaller ass and bigger boobs? What if my herto gene is screaming for racial diversity? Can I trade my wife for someone with darker skin?
No, I can't. Why? Because I made a vow to my wife, to put my wants and desires behind her needs, and her well being. These same vows are made by every man married in the sight of God. Sexual appetites change, fact of life. Wedding Vows don't. A gay man should be held to the same standard of accountability as everyone else.
