Good news! I've always wanted to be gay.
We can help! (LOL).

Well, at 20% gay, you're off to a great start!Good news! I've always wanted to be gay.
You sincerely don't know the reason why some gays feel the need to becoome straight or you're saying that to express how horrible you feel such situation is?I am a straight male who's favorite relative was my late gay music professor uncle. He and his lesbian wife (my aunt) were my education into alternative lifestyles so I've never understood the animosity or the urgent need for some gays to re-educate themselves to the straight life.
Self-acceptance is the hardest thing to achieve in life.
Once again you choose to miss the point. Whatever a person chooses to do in his or her own life is their own business but when that person works to deny those freedoms to others it is no longer private. If a politician chooses to remain in the closet and live a lie so be it but when he gets behind anti gay legislation that's going too far.Probably going out on a limb here, but why is this even newsworthy? Who cares? If he wants to marry and have a family, so be it. If he went through some therapy, isn't that his matter? Is the obsession here that he isn't conforming to the expectations of others here because they believe he should follow a certain lifestyle? I will say I'm not aware of him, and not aware of any statements he has made against the gay community, so aside from confirming that he has, I could care less about any of this. But I see this attack, or outing, to be disingenuous.

Obviously there is social pressure for gays to create the illusion they are straight. My gay uncle went through life as a married man with my aunt (who was a lesbian) for the sake of his career as a musician with the Cleveland orchestra and later as a professor. I made a somewhat wistful and melancholy observation, now that my uncle has passed away, about how some gays feel the need to change or cover-up how biology has wired them at birth.
We are all born with a basic sexual drive, either heterosexual or homosexual. Let it be.
The important thing to remember, though, is that gay conversion therapy can work. Sen. Cotton is living proof that there's hope.

Conversion therapy does not work. There is no conversion, there is only behavioral modification after 'treatment', if the patient chooses to have only interpersonal heterosexual sex or to refrain from homosexual sex after CT.
CT does not, for example, change measured pupillary or other somatic responses that indicate sexual interest when sexual stimuli are presented in a controlled setting. In other words, nothing gets 'converted'.

Not to mention conversion therapy being fraud:

Seriously? There is a VERY HIGH incidence of it causing suicide (and other bad outcomes) among questioning adolescents. No one should be subjected to it unless they choose it personally as an adult.
Thing is, i don't go around talking about hot women. I never think of women in that way at all. Doesnt seem the cure worked.“I am now the man I always knew I could be, fully dedicated to God, my wife, and the good people of Arkansas, without all the urges to have sex with hot guys 24 hours a day.”

Yeah....um.......didja read the article? It's a fake story. Sen Cotton can't be proof that it works because he never underwent gay conversion therapy. Savvy?

Well, twoton, regardless of the spoof, you still think that 'gay conversion therapy can work. Senator Cotton is living proof that there's hope.' Question: hope for what? What were you hoping when you wrote this? I would like to think, that as a 99% straight man, you're not just another homophobe thinking that gay people should or can somehow quit being gay--or that they should want to.
Would you please clarify?
Oy vey. I give up. I read the story. I knew it was a hoax. I used that line "Sen. Cotton is living proof" as a joke to piggy back on the satire.
But hey--if people want to try gay conversion therapy, I say let 'em. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but there's a sucker born every minute. Just look at P.T. Barnum, the GOP's nominee.
