I thought conservatives said it was a lifestyle choice, like being homeless. Wish they'd make up their minds.

Oh...so does that make a love of spanking a kind of sexuality?

I'm okay with that. Bring it, asshole.

That's because it's basic logic. If homosexuality is biologically based then maybe they'll find a cure. Then again, if it isn't biologically based then I suppose that puts it into the category of a behavior that can be overcome. [Image: biggrin.gif]

What is wrong with developing a treatment which switches ones orientation?

The problem is the terminology used (for there to be a "treatment" or "cure", there must be something to "treat" or "cure"), and no doubt homophobes will attempt to push it onto non-heterosexuals (once they take it themselves, of course - we all know how that story goes). Think X-Men 3, only more fabulous. Big Grin
Sexuality is not a disease, and so it doesn't need a cure. However, if switching from non-heterosexuality to heterosexuality were possible and available, and if non-heterosexuals weren't being pushed to acquire it (social pressures and such) or tricked by charlatans (the so-called "therapy" for instance), I see little (if any) reason why it's wrong.

FYI: I say "non-heterosexuality" and "non-heterosexuals" because, all-too-often, people (including people within the LGBT) forget about bisexuality and asexuality. We're real too.

We're in the "B," dude. Tongue

Or you could go for the more expansive QUILTBAG acronym, which I just love. I think that covers all of us. Wink
