This is mostly directed at the LGBT CF'ers: If you could change your sexual orientation, would you? Why or why not?
-
Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Would you change? Why?

I agree, and I can't say I'm suprised by the responses so far. Personally, I wouldn't change either - but that's not to say multitudes of people haven't tried to get me to.

I'm bisexual, and very comfortable with my sexual orientation. It might have taken me a very long time to get comfortable with it, but I think it was very much worth it.
I would far rather learn to be comfortable with who I am than try to change things that I cannot change to make others feel more comfortable with me.
Personally, I feel very sorry for anyone who tries to change their sexual orientation. It seems like a long road of strife, pain, and mental damage for no results (not to mention a huge waste of money in many cases).

Well said
Also, I applaud everyone for having the courage to stand up and be proud of who you are, despite what others may say or think.
