When I came out of the kitchen to tell my parents, they were devastated. Right away they tried to change me, telling me I had to watch what I ate and get more exercise. They even suggested a counselor for me to go to so I could be "cured".
Why are my parents so mean?
Why can't they just accept me for who I am?
Why do they want to change me?
After all, this isn't a choice, this is how I was born.

Mark B - Please spare me. My Grandfather was gay, My wife of 10 years and 2 kids changed teams, and my stepdaughter changed from lesbian to straight after 6 years in that lifestyle. So I do know something about gays.
Being gay is not an "illness". I never tried to equate the two. People born with diabetes can control their fate by controlling their actions. They don't have to let their genetics control their lives.

Mark B - Why are you judging people in my family? You don't know them and I can't go in detail on this board. You are doing nothing more than labeling people who are different than you. Shameful!
I know what they tell me. They state that they made their choices in their life. Why can't you accept that there are people who may be different than you?
People are motivated in life by just two things, pleasure and pain. Sex is pleasurable. It's not much more complicated than that.

Wide - People change teams all the time. Why can't you accept people who do this?
Why does the gay community attack people like Anne Heche rather than accept her for who she is? Why do gays hate people who change preferences so much? Is this more of a political issue than a people issue? I think so.

Mark B - Nice try, but since you don't know these people, you are labeling them to fit your stereotype views.
Neither my ex nor my stepdaughter have sex with both sexes. They are no more bi than you are. You place stereotypical labels on others to fit your prejudicial views of others.
Another one bites the dust. Next time maybe you can keep up.

Nice try. Now I give you credit. At first you seem almost sincere but then, you dropped the ball on your deceit with the final line.
Shame on you for trying to equate Diabetes with Homosexuality, a smart alec attempt at being intelligent, how transparently pathetic.
I do however thank you for the 2
EDIT: after reading your somewhat verbose rant, I must confess you are strangely intense. I have not known any gay people who are mad at Anne Heche, she did what she did for personal reasons. As for implying that switching teams has solely to do with being gay, you should note that your wife chose to go straight to gay and your daughter vice versa, all that tells me is that Kinsey got it right. There are exclusively straight and gay people but a lot are in the middle. Finally, this idea of 'control' is a poor comparison and I suspect you know that, so I will dismiss that statement out of hand.

Well I read the question, your updates and the answers. It might not have been your intention but, this question really only supports the contention that homosexuality is not something that you can be cured of by making another choice. You do equate homosexuality to diabetes which is not a choice and something that nobody can choose not to have and while it might be true that you have had members of your family who have participated in homosexual activities, it is obvious that nobody in your family has been a diabetic. You can't be cured from your diabetes it is a condition that you can manage through diet and insulin but you will never not be diabetic. I just want to say thank you for supporting that homosexuality is not a choice, even if you did so unintentionally.

There is nothing wrong with being LGBT (or straight), which is how one is born. There is nothing "to control" about either sexual orientation, other than respecting others and yourself. There is no "cure" for either orientation, since neither is a sickness.
People are people. Can't you accept people for how they were made? Do you preach hatred against people with a different skin or hair color than you as well?
People do not "change teams." They stay true to their natural sexual orientation. Just because someone chooses to no longer act on their orientation, this doesn't change their orientation one bit - in fact, in can induce severe mental anguish.

Just like it took you time to accept who you are, it will take time for your parents to accept you. Give it some time.
