  Don't be too sure. Most of us have straight parents. They're passing their genes down to us.

When the treatment doesn't work (which it never does), this creates new conflict between the young gay or lesbian and the parents. Failure can also cause people to go into depression and even suicide.
  
  The whole industry is a fraud and should be shut down.

  So in the history of the world no one has ever been gay and later was not? You cant be serious with that crap because I know people in my personal life to prove otherwise.

  You are wrong on so many counts.

  Find me a quote where she says it is a sickness?
  
  Until then stop your obviously biased rant.

  I am not wrong on any count. I don't know why we're gay, I only know we didn't create ourselves. I have gotten an erection thinking about men since I was five years old. Nothing has changed in my life.
  
  In my thirty years of being an out and about gay man, I have never heard of one legitimate case of a gay or lesbian being changes to heterosexuality, and especially not through prayer. The only people who get "changed" are the true bisexuals who actually can pick either way.

  That is how Bachmann's husband treats it. For him it is a sickness that needs to be cured. In reality, if you're gay, you're gay. That's the way it's supposed to be.

  I believe the earlier you said that you stopped having sex with men. If you are able to make this decision, why aren't other gays?

  I stopped having sex with men by choice. Because of a bad back, I gained a considerable amount of weight and I realized I wasn't sexy any more. In simple language, I felt I was no longer able to satisfy my partner. But the switch to women was never an issue. I have never gotten an erection because of women. That's why I'm gay.

  1 I was talking about you saying there was no scientific evidence to support Christianity which is not accurate.
  2 just because you havent heard of something happening diesnt mean it hasnt. I know someone whi was gay, not bisexual, and is now heterosexual married with kids living a perfectly happy life.

  You're the one with the bs. You don't send a teenager to a clinic to make him well unless someone has said that he's sick. That's how Bachmann makes his money and how he supports his wife who is running for president. ABC News sent an investigative reporter to check all this out and that's the conclusion they reached.

  Note the word "patient." By definition, a patient is someone who is sick, either physically or emotionally. This clinic tries to cure patients. But the scientific world has already accepted the reality that gays and lesbians are not sick. Our homosexuality is normal for us. It may not be normal for other people, but it is normal for us.
  
  The real point to this thread is that it scares me to think that a possible president of the United States could think this way. We gays and lesbians are fighting for our human rights. To have this joker in office would set back our efforts 50 years.

  First of all, Bachman will not be president.
  
  Secondly, gays and lesbians in this country are not fighting for their human rights. Everyone in this country has their human rights. When you exagerate like that, it is a disservice to people in the world who really are fighting for their human rights.
  
  Thirdly, the people chose to go to the clinic. No one forced them to go to the clinic.

  First, the American people are crazy enough to do anything, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that she could win.
  
  Secondly, even with the progress we've made in the past few decades, we still don't enjoy the same rights as straight people. Gay marriage is not permitted in most states along with the more than 100 rights associated with marriage. Adoptions by gay parents is illegal in Florida and Arkansas. There are still places in this country where you can get fired from your job or thrown out of your apartment solely because someone finds you you're gay. I'm not making this up. This is the reality many of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters face.
  
  Third, parents can force their gay teenagers to get treatment. I shudder to think what my parents would have done if they had found out I'm gay. This is another reality that gay young people face.

  Gay marriage is legal in the United States. Any Gay American is free to legally marry. Also I read that in Cambridge, Massachusetts they were reimbursing gay employees to offset federal tax benefits not eligible for them to receive.

  Parents can force their minor children to do a lot of things they don't want to do. I force my minor children to do things they don't want to all the time. In a few years they can do what they want.

  Now you know as well as I do that most gay people in the United States cannot marry their person of choice.

  Forcing a gay teenage into treatment is very dangerous. The treatment always fails and this can lead to depression and suicide. Gay teenagers have the highest rate of suicide of any measurable group.

  It should be clarified that, biblically, it is not a sin to "be gay". But it is a sin (biblically) to engage in homosexual sex, in the same way that it's a sin to engage in premarital sex, or adulturous sex, etc.
  
  Christians who say or do hateful things toward gays are not Christ-like at all. Fairwood, I think you're unfairly directing your anger at Jesus Christ (calling him a fraud), when in fact the hurt you've experienced has been at the hands of sinful human beings.

  I don't have time to cite statistics, but PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex Gays) and Exodus International are two ministries that have influenced thousands of homosexuals to leave the gay lifestyle.
  
  I wouldn't worry about a potential President Bachmann instituting far-reaching policies against gays. It took President Clinton and a majority in both Houses to enact DADT. How she and her husband handle their ministry is far different from how a President goes about accomplishing a political agenda.
