• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Is it really possible? I mean, all I've been hearing is that it's genetic and can't be changed. Does anyone have a story or something to say, because I'm confused about the subject If it is true, I may have cured my self in some way because I used to think not very healthy thoughts about guys, but now it's for women, but I need help keeping these things out of my mind.

Look at the doube standard Ive noticed. When men are gay they claim they were born that way, they cant change it so they embrace it. But for women they claim its a choice, they choose to be gay because they had bad relationships ect. No, it all reality being gay is a choice, the thoughts are from satan and then he undermines you convictions by making you think "if I have these thoughts, I must be gay, I was born like this" but its not true, dont be fooled by the world. If people were born gay it wouldnt be a sin, but it clearly is. Im glad to hear you have turned away from that lifestyle and are improving your walk with god.

I have gay friends, and I can tell you that for some people, yes, they choose. But for others, they genuinely love their same sex partners in the same romantic manner I love my heterosexual fiance. Maybe I'm wrong, but I do not feel like I have any right to judge people who are good, and care for others, and want to commit to a single person for the rest of their life and build a family. They can be good, honest, hardworking people--and in my experience, more loyal to each other than my heterosexual friends are to their partners. I don't see a problem with that.

I personally have been both gay and straight. I believe it is a choice. I think that some people have much deeper seated issues and can be convinced they are not attracted to the opposite sex at all, but I think that is deception. I think it can be a very spiritual issue with Satan at the center that's only release is God's healing truth.
