I heard a response to the public awareness given to that group made up of a mix of con artists, and those who actually want LGBT people to commit suicide (metaphysically or physically), known as the “Ex-Gay” movement. The suggestion this individual said, was that treating being LGBT was like alcoholism, and those feelings should be repressed.
This was my response
Imagine someone insisting that you never do something natural like smiling, because its sinful, and any inclination to smile should be ignored, and any time you give into the urge you should feel intensely guilty. Being attracted to someone of the same sex is as natural and normal as smiling, and there is nothing wrong with acting on those feelings.
