Gays can healed through counselling

I have to say that all the gay people I've met have been perfectly ordinary people except for, as kymmy said, their choice of partner - and the physical side of their relationship concerned me no more, or no less, than any 'straight' couples I've met. None of my business, so it doesn't bother me.

I've only once ever been 'hit on' - including during 6 years at a boys boarding school, so I don't get the idea that gay people are somehow trying to 'convert' others to their perspective - any more than I get the idea of trying to 'cure' them so they become 'normal'..

As for 'genetic' versus 'non genetic' homosexuality, I don't think either have been proved & seems to me to be part of an unhealthy obsession with trying to find out why some people fall in love with people of their own sex, when all we really need to do is accept that it happens - moral or religious 'crusades' or labelling aren't going to change how people feel about each other ???

I suppose it comes down to being selfish - so long as I'm comfortable with my sexuality, I don't really give a damn about any-one else's & can't really understand some why people get so concerned about it ???

People appear to be confusing "legal" with "compulsory"

This is my last post on this subject Nitro, its getting more and more pointless, I'm just pleased that judging from other posts your outrageous and yes, hateful views, eg gay people are sexual predators, are in the very small minority of one. No doubt you'll trawl the net to find views that are similar to your own, then post another essay on why I and others are wrong. I genuinely feel sorry for you Nitro, seeing predatory homosexuals literally everywhere it seems to have put you into an heightened state of extreme paranoia. I live in Brighton which supposedly has a large gay community, but surprise surprise we all get along fine here, most likely because the average person whether they be gay, straight, bi or whatever couldn't careless what someone else's sexuality is, its totally irrelevant, people are far far more concerned with being treated with respect and common decency then what someone chooses to do in their bedroom. It seems to me the ones stirring up resentment are the likes of Mrs Robinson and yourself, not gay people, your the one who seems to be on some sort of crusade to "save these poor confused people". I think its time you took a reality check, the vast majority of gay people don't either need or require saving, surprisingly like most people they are happy and contented...and why shouldn't they be? So in finishing I imagine your rather trenchant ridged and bias views will remain intact eating away at you, while the rest of us gay, straight or whatever get on with and enjoy our lives.

The brains of gay men and women look like those found in straight people of the opposite sex, research suggests.

The Swedish study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, compared the size of the brain's halves in 90 adults.

Gay men and straight women had halves of a similar size, while the right side was bigger in lesbian women and straight men.

A UK scientist said this was evidence sexual preference was set in the womb.

I think free speech is important, and she has every right to express her opinion. However, I think she should be less black and white about it. Someone who has influence / good media coverage should not just express their own opinion without some form of justification / conclusion. (After all what they say does have the potential to cause some uproar or upset.)

For people to have a slightest chance of understanding her hymn sheet, then her reasoning behind her opinion would be helpful.

I see no clear meaning behind her opinion, so its not worth much thought. As far as I am concerned she needs to get out into the wider community and expand her own very limited experiences of the homosexual world. It is my "opinion" that for a supposedly educated woman, she is blinded by her own inexperience. Does that not make her look the fool?
