Oh well, I made a couple of connections on there before I got banned by the Mod who thought I was a sock for someone else.
I use my real name and still get accused of that.
No, it's not a sickness.
It's like if someone is naturally transgendered but feels social pressure to "act like something they're not." And then they have to go through forgiveness healing and acceptance to come out as their true selves.
With some people they are naturally heterosexual, but have layers
of conditions or sometimes abuse that makes them cover up their true selves like a mask. So similar to how people "come out gay or transgender" when they feel safe to be themselves and quit hiding, there are some people who "come out heterosexual" when they finally come out. That's the best way I can explain it.
here's a whole website for people who go through that:

When "Are you still gay?" is the only criterion for determining whether someone is really gay, then it's not very meaningful.
I don't know much about the research, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen, in my lifetime, assertions that faith can contribute to healing of other types, and then more recently that in fact it does not, and then in the past few years that expectations of healing in response to prayer actually cause stress to patients with no beneficial effects at all. But if you really want to talk about scientific proof, there HAVE already been studies. Why don't you google them, and link a few results?
