Change is possible
As someone who struggled with homosexuality, as well as someone who is an orthodox Jew, as well as someone who is somewhat politically involved, this movie pained me. It pained me because of the intolerance towards people like me. I am someone who changed my "sexual orientation". I took it upon myself to go through therapy for my own personal beliefs in the Torah and am now happily married to a lovely lady with a second child on the way. I have no agenda of trying to get other people to go through what I went, but Sandi Dubowski, don't for a second claim to be showing the whole story of homosexuality in the Orthodox community. There are many people like me and we are deemed homophobic and intollerable by the gay rights activists as well as you. Again, I have no interest in trying to change anyone and I respect everyone's decision in life. But Sandi where is the recognition for what I did, and what many other men are struggling to do?
