Why would anyone choose to leave homosexuality when there is so much discrimination against the ex-gay community?
Because of the abuse heaped upon them by society, former homosexuals experience discrimination at every level. When a former homosexual marries an opposite sex partner, that ex-gay is ridiculed by former friends. Ex-gays find heterosexuals also reject them if their past is known because “Once gay, always gay” is assumed. While gays can come out of the “closet,” ex-gays are forced to stay in theirs because of public prejudice. While gays gain sympathy as victims, ex-gays are criticized and face life-long intolerance for simply existing as living proof that homosexuality is not innate. Americans need to face the real issue of bigotry — oppression of ex-gays.
