They Should Have the Choice

I believe gays and lesbians should have the choice to seek therapy to change their sexual orientation if that condition is stressful to them. I'm not saying all gays must change, rather, I'm saying those who want change should have the opportunity to do so. I encourage you to check out the I Do Exist video. After watching the video, Ryan Zempel made the following observation in It really is elementary: Ex-gays exist: A 22-year-old man stands before a classroom of middle schoolers, describing how he came out as a homosexual and going so far as to declare, "there are gay students in this classroom." The young man is Noé Gutierrez, Jr., and the scene is one from It's Elementary, an award-winning 1996 video (widely aired in 1999) which aims to give "practical lessons on how to talk with kids about gay people." You won't find that scene in Gutierrez's latest video, however. Although he requested permission to use it, producer/director Debra Chasnoff turned him down. Apparently, she doesn't want school children knowing what's happened since then. You see, Gutierrez is no longer gay. If you're not sure where you stand on this issue, you may find this of interest: Dr. Robert Spitzer Interviewed In 'Christianity Today' Magazine. Read that very carefully. Take special note of who Dr. Spitzer is, what he used to think and what he thinks and says now. Now couple the above with the very important results of the Twins Studies, a summary of what science has stated and the extremely important growing number of ex-gays. After reading the above links you should have a better understanding of the issues.
