According to this guy's parents.

Well, let me tell you what happened in short. Kid from Alabama comes out of the closet to his parents. Parents feel that they have screwed up raising him. Kid is told that he has psychological issues. Kid is shipped of to a (fundie) camp to GET RID OF THE FAG IN HIM WITH TEH HALP OF JESUS!!11!!1!!1!

Here are some rules from the camp:

No sexual/emotional misconduct. Any temptations, fantasies, or dreams are to be presented to one

Good NIGHT.

Scary.

I'd be in trouble on the mannish clothing thing - I wear a lot of feminine stuff, but sometimes a flannel shirt is just damn comfy, you know?

Okay, I just need to break this down...

1) They think gay is a result of bad parenting
2) They raised him having that mentality (as in, the parents had it)
3) Son turned out gay

Stop the insanity, plzkthnx

No, he thought that his parents would love him unconditionally. They didn't. He has to go through hell because he trusted his parents.

I can only imagine the amount of masturbation that goes on during that 15 minute closed door shower time.

I just want to know...how would one view pornography or visit an adult bookstore under these draconian conditions?

I can only imagine the number of people who have been turned solidly against religion by such practices.

Honestly, those rules sound like cult tactics; separate someone from their environment, family and friends, then force them to accept your own values. Hardly what I consider to be properly Christian behaviour.

Don't forget the enforced silence. A #1 tactic in the cult brain washing handbook.

Indeed. Quite as effective as forbidding the eating of meat.

It's odd that this organization hasn't come under governmental scrutiny. Or has it?

gay people shouldnt be "fixed" that's stupid. Their gayness should be fully encouraged, and then just wait a couple generations and there will be no more gay people. It's so obvious. Darwin rules.

Not quite. If that were the case, homosexuality would have been bred out of humanity some time ago, I think. Besides, it appears in the animal world as well as in the human one. It may be a condition that's with all living things for the long run ...

Thank you for that. It is obvious that you are a scientist, as you have referenced that obscure but amazing genius, Charles Darwin. Finally, someone with deep insight into evolutionary theory! I chortled heartily at your clever use of the English language. You certainly put those fundies into place.

Its christians like that, that I really enjoy making thier heads implode. Using all the ambiguitys and condradictions in the bible against them tends to mess them up. This bs just reaffirms my personal opinions about fundimentalists.

The genetic issue is one of the big planks in the Nature vs. Nature arguement in homosexuality. The genetic evidence really does point out that no one is ever just born gay. There are people who claim that they have been that way since they were little kids, but what they fail to notice is that children really don't have a serious sexual orientation till they hit puberty. Even then, there is a lot of confusing feelings of friendship and comfort for sexual attraction.

*shrugs* But like all behavioral science questions, there is no definitive answer. Because no matter how tight your controls, no matter how well set up the experement, the animal is going to do whatever the hell it wants.
