38,000 mental health professionals advocated electro-shock therapy, aversion therapy, hormone therapy, and other barbaric treatments of gays before 1973. So yes, I believe that 38,000 "mental health professionals" can be wrong. Their own history proves it!
As to ever-straights who divorce or abandon their families they are no better than closeted gays who do the same. You are twisting my words to use them to interpret what I believe in the worst possible light.
However, I have made my position perfectly clear and since our "interpretations" of an old book will never be reconciled I will retire from this discussion. There comes a time when one must accept Christ's and Paul's admonitions:
Matt 7:6
6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. NAS
2 Tim 2:14-17
14 Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless, and leads to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth. 16 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene.
NAS
