I'd like you to point out where I said all Christians are bigots. I really don't appreciate you putting words in my own fucking mouth.
Acting out on any human behavior is a choice since behavior is not innate or immutable.
And what are you trying to get at with this?
As I stated Religious Tolerance is far from an accurate source of real unbiased information and to appeal to the site only demonstrates just how desperate you are to establish a false position.
EDIT: Deleted. Discussed on a different thread.
The percentage of success for those who enter therapy to change their sexual orientation is about 79%. The percentage of success for those who do not enter professional therapy and use local support groups is a bit higher.
Thanks for providing no source whatsoever. It just goes to show how much bullshit you are. But let me give you some extra tid bits here:
In summary, scientific data are lacking to show that behavior modification techniques effectively change individuals' sexual orientations from homosexual to heterosexual. The relatively small number of attempts that have been adequately documented appear to have been largely unsuccessful.
Does this mean that no one ever changes his or her orientation from homosexual to heterosexual through the use of such techniques? Not necessarily. It is possible that some individuals who enter such therapies eventually make such a change, although there is no evidence for a cause-and-effect relationship. Those people might have changed their sexual orientation without the therapy.
However, so-called reparative therapy techniques – premised on the assumption that homosexuality is a form of psychopathology – appear to do much more harm than good. And even if conversion therapies were shown to be successful in more than a relative handful of cases, they would remain ethically questionable.
The mainstream view in psychology and psychiatry is that people who are troubled about their homosexual orientation have internalized society's prejudice against homosexuality, and that the appropriate task of a therapist is to help them to overcome those prejudices and to lead a happy and satisfying life as a gay man or lesbian.
