And shouldn't he make it really, really clear that just because LGBTs can, of course, marry and have sex with people of the opposite sex that it doesn't mean they're straight??? So many who have been brainwashed by that sort of "therapy" have been hurt beyond belief by it when reality sets in. Mostly people who have been raised in fundy households who demonize them for who they are and then they try so hard to please them.

So they do the "therapy" and get married to a fundy spouse. They have kids. Sometime later the person realizes he/she wasn't exed after all and the spouse often doesn't want him/her to have access to the kids because being gay is "evil." The hurt must be unimaginable.
