'Gay Cure' Therapy: Illegal In Cali, Immoral Everywhere

In order to agree with me, you have to first believe that a person's sexual orientation is at least 50% biological and not purely a result of bad parenting, a corrupting culture or adolescent experimentation. Conservative Christians, Mormons and some other fringe group don't believe that nature may actually create about 10% of any mammal population as LGBT. Instead, they see it as an "abomination before God."  If they are right, then electroshock therapy and other forms of punishment are exactly what every LGBT person needs in order to become "right before God."

I know that my coming to terms with my sexual orientation and accepting it as an innate part of who I am was the most difficult and at the same time most liberating thing I have ever done. It wasn't until I came out of the closet and embraced my true nature that I started living my life as the gifted, creative and talented person God meant me to be. My ability to be of benefit to the world were squandered until I came to terms with my true nature and started to love myself just as I am.

Whether LGBT or straight, we are all born with God-given talents that can help to change the world for the better. Conservative Christians may think that being LGBT is an abomination before God but I say that not manifesting your god-given talents for the benefit of the world is the abomination that God will not be happy with.

How do religious people justify torture, brain washing and forced marriage of people who are different then themselves? I confidently believe that when it comes time to judge, God will decide who among us is the wicked, those who perpetrated abuse and torture on innocent LBGT people or the LGBT people who suffered oppressed by the vigilantes of the far right.

I know in my heart that I am gay, that I am right before God and I'm healthy, happy and well-adjusted. I'm a productive, positive contributor to the well-being of people from all walks of life and I don't need that confirmed or validated by any religion. It's my heartfelt wish that all sentient beings everywhere also find the peace of knowing they are good and loving, LGBT or not.
