Total bs. My working theory is that homosexuality is caused by women giving birth in areas of random bad gravity. I am currently working on proving it caused the die off of dinosaurs and global warming. It also seems to have something to do with missing socks but that research is ongoing.

OK, let me ask you guys this. The guy in the video was saying that boys who failed to identify with their dads masculine role or feel rejected by their dads grow to be gay because they are trying to fill that male void in their lives. So, my question is: how is your relationship with your dad?

It was great. He was a tough, conservative, Marine, raised in the South, son of a Baptist minister. As I grew up, he knew I was gay, probably before I did. He was loving, instilled a sense of self-respect and need for me to be strong and stand up for myself. And when I came out, he cried but was supportive. When I introduced him to my 2nd partner when I was in a polyamorous relationship, he hugged him and cared only that I was happy.

So yeah, this guy is full of shit and doesn't have the first fucking clue about why people are gay. He's projecting his ignorance, bigotry and fear, nothing more.

If that's true, then there's still hope that Luke Skywalker will come out of the closet in the next movie! Fingers crossed!

Unfortunately that theory has been debunked decades ago. There is no data to support it.

For the record, I have a great relationship with my father, he coached my football team as a kid and my 4 sibblings are all straight.

It's still unclear as to what the exact cause of it is. There is a genetic component to it, but overall we still don't know what causes homosexuality.

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.”

Let me ask you this: how close are you to your mother? Is your heterosexuality a way to try to fill that female void in your life?

Wow, a dick pic sharing website is now being used for sharing a gay conversion apologist video. Do you guys get why I always insist on hammering this FACT at every opportunity: this is a dick pic sharing website, straighties should not be here

I accept that the question you ask about son/father relationship is innocent and born of curiosity, but somewhere in that question is the accusation that there is something wrong with being gay.

Judging from your profile pictures you are a good-looking guy with a sexy body. However, if a group of us started discussing (lets say) your dick and we really focused on why it bent to one side or the other, we would gradually build a case for saying your dick was deviant and was not acceptable.

The more we considered what might have occurred to cause the bend, the more we would reinforce the idea that your dick was not attractive (or not like ours). We might even discuss what might be done to fix the bend.

In reality it is beautiful, unique, and erotic for anyone to fantasize about. It doesn’t need fixing. The same is true of being gay.

I don’t think there is a person on this site that wouldn’t like to know more about who they are and how they came to be that way. Given that information, I am not sure what any of us would or could do with it, but it an honest quest.

There are some who are honestly investigating the basis for sexual interest and identity, but regrettably there are many who use the same kind of questions for divisive proposes. They are looking for ways to highlight differences and drive wedges between people. The video shows a classic example, but they exist in all groups, even among those who are gay.

Rather than being so focus on what makes “gay people different”, perhaps we should be spending a lot more effort in identifying people who preach intolerance, and learn why they act as they do. We know it stems from a destructive emotional rather than factual basis.



Perhaps they could benefit from reparative therapy since their own health and that of the community is at risk.

I can't believe that some posters here took Nicolosi's male psychosexual development of the male seriously.

What about heterosexual men whose father/father-figures were absent/distant/uninvolved during Nicolosi's theoretical hetero/homosexual-genesis stage? Does that mean
1.) there are no heterosexal men with inadequate father/father-figures?
2.) If there are homosexuals with involved, strong, and benevolent fathers, does his explanation of the development of the homosexual then fail?
3.) Do his model's codeterminants of male heterosexuality, the involved father's strenth and benevolence, account for all heterosexuals and homosexuals?

Where is his statistical survey data? How large was the sampling? How culturally diversified were his populations? He claims his clients all have these similar experiences, and that is how he confirms his theory. Remember that all his clients came to him because they were unhappy being homosexual. What about homosexuals who like being so? Are they still just heterosexuals who have a homosexual 'problem'?

His exclusion of the individual's appetency for and experience of physical sexual pleasure and where, when, and how the individual learns to obtain it during development makes his model even more inadequate.

The man operates more from bias, citing only studies he likes (confirmation bias) than deep, thorough, well-documented research and study.

I love my dad, he was always present in my life, always hung out with me. We'd go to movies together, the arcade together. He would help me practice when I was in sports. He would help with my home work.

Post comments on this theory of homosexual origins. It mostly discusses male homosexuality.

God made gay people on purpose. He needed people who would excel in areas of art and culture and teach straight people about art and culture.
