Since both APA's and the AMA have taken the official position that any counseling is detrimental to the mental health of homosexuals accurate numbers of people who want to change or have changed are not available. NARTH can show a 70%+ success rate. If you can find a copy of Homosexuality by Bieber published in the late 60's his work showed a success rate for those who remained in counseling for 120 sessions of 70%+. The person who succeded in the shortest period of time was a 16 year-old who went from gay to straight in 12 months.
BTW, lobotomies were used to treat some homosexuals. I did not list all the treatments used.
If you are going to make you lifestyle a matter of public record and if you are going to lobby to redefine marriage and family then it is you who are pestering the majority.
Gay activists are the ones who have made homosexuality a political concern for the average American. Most Americans were willing to let gays live their lives as they please until activists started demanding special rights. Very few equal rights organizations back gay activists as these organizations do not view homosexuality as a civil rights issue. Liberal organizations are the ones who would redefine our society to benefit a minority to the detriment of the whole nation.
Have you read this thread? Homosexuals Opposed to Pride Extremism Let me quote the last paragraph of the initial post:
Unfortunately, most people's sense of history begins the day they were born, which means all that precedes is outmoded and irrelevant and all that follows is enlightened and progressive. However, we cannot and must not ignore the lessons of history and natural law. Again and again, it has been shown that whenever humankind fails to protect time-honored political, moral and social institutions, whenever humankind attempts to embrace pride as a virtue and mainstream behavior that contravenes natural law, and whenever humankind becomes arrogant, autonomous, egalitarian, nihilistic and foolish, civilization fails - always and without exception. So, here we are repeating the cycle and getting ready to crash and burn one more time.
Every culture that has become so egaliterian as to approve homosexuality as a viable alternate lifestyle has fallen. This is true of Greece, Rome, and every power since then.
