Wow! Are you not afraid of being stoned? Kudos to you for speaking up and contributing to the slow-moving but well needed advocacy of human rights and freedom for all. Very refreshing to hear from a professional as well 🙂

Hey there Ms. Sylphe! Thank you for reading. Funny I’ve actually never felt threatened by these views. I will fight for our rights to be human everyday all day.

I congratulate you on speaking up, not just for the courage it may take but for speaking up when it would be easier to just roll the eyes and rail in private against the bad “science” or speak about it amongst like-minded individuals. Brava!

Thank you! The science and ignorance was untenable.

I am tired of the red herring argument of choice with regards to homosexuality and bisexuality. It makes no difference as to whether or not it is a choice, because we should tolerate, respect and accept individuals as they are, as they are causing no harm.
Even if it were demonstrable that these orientations were choices, it would be unethical to provide therapy in any capacity other than helping the individual cope with the world that heaps abuse and violence upon them.
Although I appreciate your debunking of homophobic and biphobic attitudes, I wonder how things might be if we refused to dignify such arguments in the first place, as the issue is entirely irrelevant to morality or function.

I agree I too am saddened by the need to speak on this but we are not evolved enough on this planet for silence. So i continue to speak if only to educate.
