*NOT an anti-Christian comment*
'Gay groups have reacted furiously to a decision by the usually liberal Los Angeles Times to carry an advert describing homosexuality as a curable disease. The $50,000 ad was placed by a group called Exodus, which claims to have been "curing" homosexuals since 1976. It features the tesitmony of 36-year old Randy Thomas, who says that he is no longer gay after undergoing radical Christian therapy. The paper's decision to accept the advert has been denounced as "a spit in the faces of gays" by angry readers. '
Well, you can guess my feelings about that. Anyway,
'The track record of Exodus is not entirely successful. The group's two founders had to renounce their own teachings after falling in love and moving in together
(The Week)
I re-iterate that this is not anti-Christian or whatever. I just found it as a funny example of humans and the strange things that happen around us.

Yes.
And in actual fact, it is.
The purpose of a species is to reproduce and continue the species, animals are supposed to find a mate of the opposite gender.
Gay people don't, which means some part of their brain functions in a way that it isn't supposed to, which means it's an abnormality and a psychological disorder. It just isn't one that requires treating as it has no bad effects, it simply opens a different lifestyle choice.
And by the way, I was merely offering a different opinion, I didn't even claim to support it. I'm not homophobic, I couldn't give a toss who anyone wants to spend their life with, and I'd never dream of insulting someone according to their sexuality or race. Whatever makes you happy.

Welcome to the 19th century, morons. The witch-burnings are over there and the gay bashings that-a-way. I'd like to see you tell a gay person face to face that they're diseased you homunculus halfwits.

Haha, haha. No - you see I was simply coming in here to show not a shred of denial or support for what has gone on, and came in to see if anyone wanted to ask any questions.

Maybe it is a disease.
After all, we certainly weren't intended to mate with someone of the same sex.

Didn't think so, as it's not (to be honest) anything to do with me.

It's evident what I think of the first bit.
The only reason I posted it was because I found it funny as an example of the way humans......act. I didn't want FF to comment so I could attack him (no matter how fun it is). It was just an interesting event.
