It’s great that Dylan was able to figure out the truth about “therapy” claiming to change one’s sexual orientation. This is nothing more than ignorant, religious nonsense that does a lot of psychological damage to the kids who get entrapped in it. Imagine a “floral therapy” claiming to change a “rose” into a “lily” – they’d be laughed out of town. Competent therapy by licensed psychologists or psychiatrists *can* be very helpful to gay teens in learning how to accept their orientations and feelings as normal and in dealing more effectively with homophobic ‘rents and peers – but any therapist who still sees being gay as abnormal or who claims to have a “cure” for what isn’t an illness is nothing more than a dangerous quack.

When I was his age homosexuality was deemed a psychiatric illness and homosexual acts a criminal offense. I bought the baloney and suffered for far too long. I was just born 40 years too late. I just pray that young gay and lesbian teenagers don’t have to go through want I went through ….. and, have happy productive lives.

That beautiful, adorable boy going through that.
And finding comfort in IGB.
And he did express gratitude for it.

I hope is parents and family understand what a great kid he is, and he’ll be a happier, healthier person for being himself.

Frankly, I don’t know why heterosexuality is sold as if heterosexuals don’t create problems and ‘not acting on it’ would solve them. Being heterosexual isn’t an ACHIEVEMENT in greatness. It’s not an achievement at all.
No one’s orientation is. So why should it be a goal of any kind?

WTF?!

Ooh that burns. My whole house looks like a man cave. Are you going to take away my gay card?

Christopher– just what I was thinking. His room is such a mess that he’s probably REALLY straight.

This video pays for all. It should be required viewing for those at certain blogs that shall remain nameless who can’t seem to do anything but carp at Dan Savage for not waving his magic wand and making it perfect right this minute.
