The funny thing is that there is no god, but gay people are very real.
- There could or could not be a God. There is no way to prove either without evidence.
  However, we should not assume there is and base our life decisions around such a notion until there is proof one way or another.
  
  without evidence pointing to a god, we can easily dismiss the concept. "gods" were invented to explain the world before we had science. we have the tools and knowledge now to dismiss fairytales for what they are, interesting stories.
- There's a reason it takes a miracle to stop being gay but not to stop being religious
Then, at 16, his worst nightmare came true: he got a crush.
Having your first crush is terrifying on its own, but is also one of the most fundamentally positive events in many people's lives. It binds you to humanity in a way that nothing else really can, because it turns a selfish emotion, desire, outward into the world.
It's absolutely criminal to deny someone a foundational, positive experience because it's "sinful."
You can't make someone straight. If that were possible, we could make people gay. Sexuality is not a shirt that you can just exchange.
Really again? After all of the heads of the ex-gay movement saying that is doesn't work and opening living as gay men. This is just torture of children.
Bro. No one worth a damn cares whether you like dicks or pussies. This “god” dude is some fairy tale bullshit invented to keep you prostrate.
