Is there such a thing as "Formerly Gay People"?

I personally think the terms "gay", "straight" and "bisexual" are inherently narrowminded. It's like saying there's black, white and only one shade of grey. They are a convenient way of referring to someone that sleeps with either sex or both but problems arise when their preferences change and I think people are too quick to assume homosexuality is purely the result of disposition or purely a choice.

I think it's likely that people close to the middle of the heterosexual/homosexual "scale" (if I may) might be affected in such a way that their preference changes. What disturbs me a great deal more is the idea that homosexuals, faced with the difficulties of gaining acceptance in the community might have retreated into denial. I don't know if that's possible; I really hope not.

There's Black, there's White, and all the Grey's are bisexual. ;-)
 There's different shades, sure, but grey =  bisexual.  :-)

Wouldn't that make almost every person who walks the Earth bisexual? ;-)

I'm talking in terms of attraction. I doubt many people are purely black or white on this matter.

I'm with T-Bone on this one I think.
Because sex is 'serious business'.
Still, it's a hormoney thingy. Wonder if there are bi's who one day they are attracted to men and the other day to women :-?

I don't know about that... a man who looks (a little bit) like a woman might be attactive to a straight guy... but at the end of the day it's a female that he's attracted to.

What you need to say is, what sexual organs do you find attractive... If it's a vulva then you like women. If it's a penis then you like men. If it's both then you are bisexual. I think it is that simple.

That's the point I was trying to make earlier.  These "cured" people in that Jesus webpage, might just be bisexual and have just "gone off men" for a while. :-)

Well, in the case of that website I just think they're straight liars.

Who?  The people who wrote the website are lying?

Or you think the "cured" people are lying to themselves?

They're not lying to themselves, they're just lying like jesuites, maybe those ppl the website mentiones do not exist at all.

Have you read all that webpage?  It's about a film with real people in it.  One of the people was the "star" of gay film It's Elementary (1996).

Thought it was about a weblog :-?

anyhoo, the first wrong thing of your mentioned website is, that it has a goal, and having a goal is a sin in science.

Tsk tsk... one should always read the pages linked to in a thread. :lol:

It wasn't the website that is of primary interest, but the film it talks about.

Isn't reading linked pages in a discussion like reading a manual? Nobody ever does it? =).
