I wish I had been gay. No children wrecking my life.

What about that one time, at band camp?

Bumming churchy every time you've had a few pints makes you at least bi.

It would be just horrible if people wanted to change their sexuality and science could provide an answer. Wouldn't it?

She did not, at least in the quote given (and the article certainly would have quoted her if she had), say or even imply that sexuality should be changed. But the activists will rant and rave and say all kinds of nasty things about her (vile, sick, poisonous) whilst accusing her of 'hate'. Simply because she suggested science may someday be able to help people who want to change their sexuality.

The activists want people who would like to change to be stuck forever. They don't want science to help them. They don't want there to be any possibility of changing sexuality. It's quite interesting and bizarre.

Sure. If there was a clamour for it from gay people. Funnily enough, the ones that are “just asking” whether science has a solution tend to be straight.

It’s called “context”. Her comments are not in isolation, they are part of a long history of voting against equality. She hasn’t “simply suggested” anything, she has a long and verifiable history.

“The activists” want nothing of the sort. They want people who would like to change gender to have access to medical and psychological facilities. For science to help them.

I know that you mean “gay people that don’t want to be gay any more”, but think about how ludicrous that sounds if you reverse it - “straight people that don’t want to be straight any more”. Under what feasible circumstances do you think a person could be sitting there and thinking, “I don’t want to be straight any more, instead of just being gay I need science to help me to turn gay”.

Bizarre indeed.

Probably with a lemonade top.

Some of the divorced on this forum? "I've bloody had it with women. I wish I found men attractive instead."
