National Mental Health Association Rejects Ex-gays
Are there gays are are really EX-gays, or were they just confused to begin with? As for me, I've always known what I liked and never swayed from it, so I honestly don't understand someone feeling so low in self-esteem that they would do that to themselves? I honestly wouldn't have a clue on how to turn off the gay part of me, because it doesn't define me and is a small part of what I am as a person.

All that aside though, people have a right to pursue their happiness. If that means being ex-anything that makes you unhappy, I suppose you should try to change it. The thing the bugs me is that they try to change others by their tactics. They get a few "doctors" together who say, "oh yeah, gays can change, saw it happen once...", and before you know it, they are being cited in legal briefs that are arguing against a gay rights ordinance in some town or city. After all, if you can change and be straight, why should we be forced to pass a law that stops landlords from evicting gay people or refusing to rent to them?
