The sites I posted that addressed gay bowel syndrome were not religious right sites, they were medical sites. Safe sex has nothing to do with medical problems associated with anal intercourse so if you object to the label “gay bowel syndrome” take it up with the medical profession.
Apparently you are not thoroughly reading my posts. The vast majority of ex-gays have never availed themselves of reparative therapy since the vast majority of ex-gays don’t trust the mental health industry to help them achieve their desired goals. I have helped men, women, and teens over come their homosexual desires and some have even gotten married. I get emails from men, women, and teens who tell me my site gave them the courage to seek help and that they have achieved what the gay media, the APA’s, and the AMA tell them is impossible. Tell me lemmein, do you personally know any ex-gays or are you simply parroting what you read on the Internet and in the gay press?
As to coming out and telling the world you are gay when you are a teen opens ones up to additional problems associated with puberty. Teens do not have the emotional maturity to handle the uneducated prejudice of their peers, which is based more on the fear of the unknown than anything else. So I will repeat, gay activists are manipulating and exploiting children for political reasons by encouraging immature teens to bare it all with society. Self-acceptance comes from within, not from society and coming out before one is emotionally mature can lead to suicide faster than waiting until later in life when most individuals have come to terms with their sexuality.
