“I am profoundly unsettled”: inside the hidden world of gay conversion therapy

"Gay conversion" is discredited in Australia yet "fixing" same-sex attraction remains a mission for some groups – often with tragic results.

It took another four years for Williams to stop trying to “pray away the gay”.

Perhaps religious groups should invest much time/money/energy in investigating scientifically whether any highly causational correlations that change of genes for the birth of gays, such as finding out whether the % of gays has been always about the same level historically, could be caused by drug, alcohol, cigarette, painkiller, etc. Even porn-watching!

If yes and possible, but not all of them having the same degree of effects, the politicians perhaps should limit the bad/harmful ones while legally allowing to use the good/non-harmful/healthy ones.

Otherwise, if the % has been gradually increasing due to abuse of that similar kind of things, one day in the very remote future, all people could be born gays!

Probably an Irreversible process!

Theoretically, there should be less and less gays! But, Why not the case?

Scientists should not avoid this real-life topic further longer!

What about gay people and the idea they're not natural?

It's not surprising there are gay people. What's surprising is how very frequent homosexuality is. Evolutionarily speaking, gay people have fewer kids than straight people, so you'd think homosexuality would die out. Obviously it hasn't. So I thought, "I bet it has an advantage in females." Certainly there are gay genes – I'd say there are probably hundreds of gay genes – but they're not "gay genes" per se. They're male-loving genes.

Interesting.

In the sisters and aunts of gay men, the genes will induce them to love men, mate earlier and more often, and have more kids. Birth rates from the female relatives of gay men are way higher: 1.3 times higher. So the gay genes are alive and well – they're doing a great job! I bet there are female-loving genes, too. But that doesn't explain everything; there are lots of other theories.

We understand the solar system, so why do people still struggle with gender?

Five hundred years ago, people believed the sun orbited the Earth. Today we are just as ignorant about transgender people
