You also have a small (in the UK, absolutely minute) group of people who have decided, on the grounds of religionism, to pretend that they have changed sexual orientation and who have become ambassadors for that cause.<BR/><BR/>Of course, they are entitled to do so, but I know from contact with others that they can cause damage - thankfully, the vast majority of people leave these groups and come to accept themselves<BR/><BR/>WWhilst I no longer profess faith, I am glad that there are groups such as Courage who have recognised that they got it wrong and that the 'ex-gay' path is but a delusion.<BR/><BR/>http://www.courage.org.uk/Merseymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231364271812168188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020389.post-51752380957001822272008-07-15T17:49:00.000+01:002008-07-15T17:49:00.000+01:00For me, the really, really, weird thing is how cle...For me, the really, really, weird thing is how clergymen and 'devout' evangeligical religionists are just so obsessed with gays. I used to think this was only Christians that were so peculiar in this way but, dsadly, it has become more apparent that many Islam zealots are likewise obsessed.<BR/><BR/>Of course in Scotland, we have an especially extreme and prurient bunch in the form of the Scottish Catholic hierarchy. Bishop Devine for example has spouted views that I'm convinced would be a matter for prosecution were he not a berobed cleric.<BR/><BR/>Maybe these frocked, celibate guys are deeply frightened about what gayness may mean for themselves - way deep down in their hidden selves?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020389.post-86619931152140224232008-07-15T14:52:00.000+01:002008-07-15T14:52:00.000+01:00How amusing.

I feel really sorry for them - such a shame to have to take living a lie to such depths, all for the delusion of religion.Merseymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231364271812168188noreply@blogger.com
