Homosexuality, if it is a congenital condition, is, by all degrees of logic, wrong!
Helping a handicapped personn OVERCOME their handicap is pure compassion and goodness. And yet, look at the posts calling me a hate-monger.

                Nope, sorry, you're still a hate-monger.  Trying to help people overcome a "handicap" is one thing, but you're just twisting someone's words around to win an argument.  Nothing purely compassionate or good about that.
 
        
            
                
                To begin with, that contradicts the idea that it´s a sin. Second, not all non-canonical natural laws are bad. For example, is there cure for say, Squizofrenic people?, nope. Do they have to be excluded? nope. Or just something that it´s not necessarily good or bad, what about those people with six fingers?. And so on.
 
        
            
                
                The only handicap that gay people have to deal with is the one that fundamentalists have.
 
        
            
                
                So in other words, gay people are handicapped and will need to be given new priveleges?  Wouldn't that piss you fundies off more?  I know, we'll designate more parking spaces for them and label them like this:image 
So you "compassionate" folks would have no problem with this?
 
        
            
        
            
                
                If the person wants  your help in this, then there is nothing wrong with it at all. I have no problem technically with "ex-gay" groups and the like. At least not a problem in theory. want  their help in "overcoming" their "handicap" because they don't consider it to be  a handicap. To them, it's part of who they are and they want you to accept them for that, not condemn them because they don't want to change to fit into your narrow view of "normal."
If these groups would simply offer assistance to those who seek them out on thir own, that would be fine. But when they try to force their services on others, when they try to make people feel that they are "sick" if they don't want their services, well then, now we have a hate-monger.
The part of the post that's hateful is not the part of wanting to help someone overcome a "problem," it's the part where you arbitrarily define what is and is not a "problem," and imply that anyone who disagrees with you is sick.
Bottom line: if you force "compassion" on someone, it is no longer compassion.

                I think this guy is the one who needs help. I'd recommend this new medication called Homocil. here . They have links to major statements by psychiactric and psychological associations on the subject. One thing they neglect to mention, however, are the often bizarre and brutal methods these people often use. Things like electroshock, physical strain, showing them homoerotic pornography while forcing them to smell rotting meat to attempt to force a gag reflex, and taking away designer clothes from the young men.

                After years of observation, I have concluded that the fundie homophobes are most likely closet homosexuals themselves. I can't speak for everyone but I would wager that unless you are extremely insecure about your own sexuality, you would not go out of your way to villify a common sexual preference and practice simply because it apparently offends you. It seems pointless.

                I don't see how me dating men is a problem. Now usually, fools like this say it comes with drug addiction and molesting kids. But I'm not an addict, nor do I want to do kids. Just hot, sexy studs. 
 
        
            
        
            
        
            
        
            
                
                Being female is a congenital condition too, but I don't see any compassion for that from fundies - just a lot of judgment and shame. Oh wait, for them it's the same thing.
As for the hate-monger label: We calls 'em like we sees 'em. If you don't like it, that's your problem.
 
        
            
                
                Fair skin is also a congenital condition, which makes you more prone to develop skin cancer. I guess being white is, "by all degrees of logic", wrong too.

“Helping a handicapped personn OVERCOME their handicap” 
“is pure compassion and goodness.”
