>>1288Retarded discussions like this are why we should never have had an /lgbt/ board. why don't you take your stupidity to /tttt/ OP?
>>1678>everybody is born bisexual, all other forms of sexual expression are the result of childhood sexual trauma and can be cured with psychotherapyThis. They are hard to cure but naturally change anyway. Every gay man and straight male has to engage in some level of repressive thought policing to maintain their sexual identity.
>>2122>So conversion therapy works then?No that specific form of therapy itself is useless. But yeah, sexual personality can and does naturally change in life anyway and psychoanalysis can help with that but not always. People who are gay, straight etc. put up a wall to keep out intrusive thoughts that resist those natural changes in sexual impulse. You can't simply convert someone, but you can pull that wall down (or at least make them aware of it) so they can live a more fulfilling and less closed off life.
>Many conservatives would rather gays be bisexual anyway because it doesn't really challenge historical heterosexual dominanceIt depends on the conservative. They have different views. There are many gay conservatives too. Some conservatives have good reason not to like the gay lifestyle. Heterosexual dominance is a myth anyway. I mean, go read Plato or medieval Christians and you'll see its a myth. Catholics believed anyone who has sex is a sinner and the natural state of man is to be an asexual, which was man's primordial state before the fall. People who were free from sex drives were considered morally superior to everyone. Fair enough is that's what they believe. Heterosexuality didn't become a social standard until like the 1900s. Gays and straights have built an entire culture around a mental pathology.
