Is there any ways that helps gay back to "normal" like other guysl?

Question

Like if one has become gay since he was a teenager, can he be healed by medical treatment? Is it possible that gay people can go back to "normal" like other guys?? I'm just curious to know. Please help me to answer this question..... please!

Answer 1

First off normal is subjective.

Secondly, you don't become gay, you are or you aren't (the exception tends to be gays who play straight because of the hatred and self-loathing heaped on them by the religious hypocrites of the world)

Third, gay is NOT a disease so it needs no cure.

Fourth, if someone claims they changed through faith then good for you, disillusionment is a wonderful opiate.

Five, spare me the "I'm really curious" bit, you already believe what you believe, so you really don't care what the truth is.

This question is baiting so just go on your merry way and leave gays alone.

Answer 2

There's nothing abnormal about being gay. You could use some help to change your way of thinking, not any magical straightening medicine.

To answer your question, there is something called "reparative therapy" or "conversion therapy" that uses specific counseling techniques to supposedly try to change people's sexual orientation. Most psychiatrists, psychologists and other medical professionals claim that's it's complete bunk and can cause severe psychological damage. One reason for this is that homosexuality is not unhealthy - it is not a mental illness.

To quote the American Psychological Association's website, "Can Therapy Change Sexual Orientation?

No. Even though most homosexuals live successful, happy lives, some homosexual or bisexual people may seek to change their sexual orientation through therapy, sometimes pressured by the influence of family members or religious groups to try and do so. The reality is that homosexuality is not an illness. It does not require treatment and is not changeable."

What's really in need of a change is dominant religious/power thought and social structure.

Answer 3

There is a group called Exodus International that is in the business of turning homosexuals straight through religion. They say it works, "former homosexuals" say it works, but the fact is that it cannot truly work.
If someone is truly homosexual, they are not attracted to the opposite sex at all. Nothing can make them have feelings for the opposite sex any more than you can make a straight person like the same sex. They can only hide their true feelings and replace them with more socially and religiously acceptable ones.
If someone was confused (due to abuse, or any other factor), then it certainly is possible, through therapy, to uncover their feelings for the opposite sex.
If you have had homoerotic feelings since you were a teenager, you can either just accept them now or continue to repress them, knowing that you will never really be rid of them.
I'm sorry if you're in a lot of turmoil - try therapy if it's affecting your daily life - it really helps.
Have a pleasant day.

Answer 4

There are a lot of support groups that can help you if you REALLY just don't want to be gay anymore, but if that's not what makes you happy, and it's only what other people are telling you to do, then don't do it! There is no medical treatment, because it's not a disease! Damn, why does everybody keep asking that? BEING GAY IS NOT AN EFFING DISEASE!

Answer 5

Hey kid,

You are normal. Wide variation is normal in human sexuality and in animal sexuality. (see Bruce Bagemihl, Ph.D.; Biological Exuberance; St. Martin's Press).

Now, as for Justin. People like you cause kids to kill themselves. You are a filthy liar misuing Christianity for your own ends. (I would refer you there to Evangelicals concerned, which was started, if memory serves -- due to a teenage suicide.)

1. Many churches disagree with you. I come from one of them. Do not dare claim that your theology alone has a claim on Jesus Christ, it doesn't.

2. You assert "I am now straight and no longer am attracted to guys," I don't believe you. Where in the US are you, are you willing to be tested, with a monitor that will determine your rate of arousal, under scientific conditions? Depending on where you are I may have colleagues that can handle the arrangements as long as you sign the legal releases. You can verify then that you react to females and not at all to males. Wouldn't that excite you -- oh -- I would firstly want proof you ever were gay -- sorry, but proof beyond y our word.

3. As for the Bible: While we have none of the autographs of the Bible, the early manuscripts we do have have and that are known to be genuine, by the most conservative estimates, have 200,000 differences between the wording in them, and while many are not meaningful, some completely change the doctrine of the church. (Ehrman, Bart, Ph.D.; Misquoting Jesus: The story behind who changed the Bible and Why; Harper Collins, 2006 -- p. 89). less conservative estimates range up to about 400,000 -- and there are programmers now endeavoring to write a program that will be able to count the exact number of variances.

And that's only the start of the difficulties for the Bible. If you only use the Textus Receptus (Received Text) as it is printed in modern Bibles then you are looking at enormous problems anyway -- in fact insurmountable ones. The World does not have corners (Isaiah 11:12), nor does it sit on pillars (I Samuel 2:8), nor water (Psalms 24:1-2). God did not establish a solid dome over the earth (that's what firmament literally means) and he does not have a palace on top of it from which angels can come and go up Jacob's ladder -- which might be reached by the tower of babel -- and where he keeps "treasuries" of hail and snow (Job 38: 22-23). For the sake of all that is decent, you can't even harmonize the 1st and 2nd chapters of Genesis with each other, say nothing of being able to defend the Biblical creation as scientifically factual. That's no surprise though, as the Bible tells us that beetles have four legs (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and that rabbits chew their cuds (Deuteronomy 14:7). It says that pi is 3, not 3.14 (I Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2) and that the mustard seed is the smallest seed in the world and grows into a tree [neither of which are true] (Matthew 13: 31-32). It is hardly a font of rational thought or scientific accuracy. Furthermore these errors only scratch the surface. Try harmonizing accounts in Joshua and the telling of the same tales in timeline in Judges sometime. If you can you are more proficient than any theologian I've ever met, and I've met a few.

Late bronze age men created the OT and early iron age ones the NT. It is not surprising therefore that God cannot lead Israel to defeat Iron chariots after promising he would (Judges 1:19), and it is not surprising that the flight of Israel from the god Chemosh, after the king of a city the Jews were beseiging and that God had promised them they would overthrow The King of the city offered his own son to Chemosh as a human sacrifice, resulting in Chemosh driving the Israelites away (2 Kings 3: 19-27) -- further it is not surprising that no punishment is mentioned -- the Israelites were still sacrificing their own children, as is evidenced in several places, but most graphically in Judges 11:30-39

The long and short of it is, the Bible is a mythic book, written by bronze and iron age men who were recording primarily oral legends in written form. In any realistic sense it is drivel. You can see, just in the passages I noted above from 2 Kings -- the last vestiges of polytheism fading away. Chemosh was supposed to get power from human sacrifice, just as Jehovah did -- and that power allowed him to turn the table against Israel, despite the fact that God was with Israel.

Read the verses, read the context -- to all the things I've suggested, calm your breathing and thinking and ask yourself if this is really the God of the Universe you are reading about -- or a tribal deity, which has now evolved into the one we worship. I think you will find biblegod sadly lacking -- something the liturgical churches have been saying for hundreds of years. If you find yourself unwilling to even look -- ask yourself why? Are you willing to sacrifice the truth, in order to maintain a comfortable myth for yourself?

And if you want a chuckle, read the second, and theoretically final version of the ten commandments. They are in Exodus 34: 10-26. That is the covenant Yahweh actually made with Israel. No seething here.

Have a nice day.

Answer 6

It is "normal" for me because it is who I am. In spite of all the hate I have endured, in spite of the loss I have experienced, I believe it is better for me to accept myself and my life.

There is no medical treatment. One of the most common ways that gays try to become "exgays" is through something labeled as "reparative therapy." The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, and the National Association of Social Workers have all stated that a person's sexual orientation cannot be changed by reparative therapy.

Some, apparently do seem to change through reparative therapy, but at a rate much lower than the natural change of sexuality that occurs in the general population, which can go from hetero to homo and vice versa. The "success rate" of reparative therapy is about 0.02%.

It is usually carried out with religious oversight.

Answer 7

YES it is possible, I used to be gay, and i have been changed. Not by medical treatment, but by faith in Jesus and that He is all powerful and able to deliver me from homosexuality.. Be encouraged! because i have been set free and you can be too. There is my favorite verse that says in 1 corthinans 10:13:

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

so see, God will give us the way of escape, and that way is Jesus.

I am now straight and no longer am attracted to guys, and slowly but surely God has been gving me an attraction to women that i never had before!! God is sooo amazing!! feel free to email me if ya have any more questions and i can share my whole testimony with ya. God bless and im praying for ya

Answer 8

Homosexuality is normal for the homosexual. God made us this way and we can not become any other way. We can choose to live a lie but the desire never goes away. I have been in a faithful marriage with my wife for 20 years and we have children but I still desire men. I just don't support that part of myself. So in essence I deny half of my personality and half of my libido. Fortunately I have a very high libido so my wife is happy with my desires for her and doesn't notice that I am always wanting more than I get. It is not her fault so I try to make it up to her by being more attentive to her needs and ignoring my own that she can not fulfill. It is not a way of life I would recommend for anyone and belive me if I could change it I would.

Answer 9

there is nothing wrong with being gay. there are a lot of laws in the old testament that no one follows now-a-days like the wearing of clothes made from two different kinds of fabric. also all the references to homosexuality in the new testament are mistranlations, except for the one in Romans, but that doesn't call it a sin just unnatural and 1 Corinthians calls women having short hair and men having long hair unnatural.

Answer 10

Yes, denial. I recommend focusing all your energies on pseudo-science funded by Christian fundamentalists.

There are various religiously-driven outreach groups and organizations that will be more than happy to assist in the re-programming of the "homosexual" individual.

Through the power of prayer, and the wisdom of Jesus Christ - our Personal Lord and Saviour - anyone can be stigmatized into a bitter, repressed and latent "homosexual".
