Homo to hete and vice versa?

A report from the APA (American Psychological Association) says no solid evidence exists that "reparative therapy" designed to change a person's sexual orientation is likely effective and some research suggests that efforts to produce change could be harmful. For more on this story, click HERE.

I personally think that this depends on where in the sexual spectrum the person is. I have always believed that sexuality is a spectrum where one end is homosexual and the other end is heterosexual. Some people who falls in the middle are the true bisexual. Those that can have sexual feelings for both sexes. Most people who identified themselves to be homosexual or heterosexual are on their respective ends of the spectrum. So if the "gay man" involved in the reparative therapy to change his homosexual tendencies to heterosexual falls not to far from the middle of the sexuality spectrum, some qualified success could probably be achieved. But if the person is on the far homosexual end of the spectrum, then I think therapy is a futile attempt. And those full pledge card carrying flaming homosexual claiming that they have been changed to heterosexual are in major denial. They may not act on those sexual feelings but I am fairly confident they are having a major hard on watching a hot man to man action. Homosexuality is not defined by your actions but by your sexual attractions to the same sex. A married sports loving man with a wife and children will never be a true heterosexual man if he is sexually attracted to a man.
