How to be a straight gay man.



Maybe the show has a secret message?

Today in 20/20 they had a segment on how religious organizations are providing homosexuals a way to change their "behavior" and be straight "again".

This didn't surprise me at all since religious nuts are always finding a way to contradict science and common knowledge, but what did surprise me was the amount of gay men that it didn't help. I thought that maybe if the program worked and homosexuality was a behavior more and more men would change and stay straight. That wasn't the case. Most of the men, by most i mean almost all of them, went back to their past "behavior" and the ones that supposedly changed were not completely straight. Gay feelings still lingered and most still acted upon them.

The show also mention a few things that these sorts of programs do wrong. Like cause these people the ability to be happy. By not acting on their feelings these people lose the ability to know affection and love and have to live a life of lies.

I guess eventually people will realize that homosexuality isn't a behavior, but something that you just are. You just have to accept that, and hope others will too. The religious freaks will have to wait to be proven wrong by science.

Maybe the missing link is a gay caveman?
