A little long, but worth a watch: Gay law student shuts down ex-gay counselors arguments

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/10/06/watch-how-a-gay-law-student-shut-down-an-ex-gay-counsellors-arguments/


This video shows a gay law student recall putting an ‘ex-gay’ counsellor in his place, when he suggested there was no such thing as a “gay gene”.

The video by ‘I’m from Driftwood’, also sees law student Scott Blair reminisce about coming out as gay after his mother received an acceptance phone call from Harvard Law during which it was mentioned that he had written he is gay on the application.

(Very disappointed initially about his parents.)

I am shocked that someone with his obvious intelligence said, "maybe it's upbringing." We all know that's complete nonsense at this point. Also odd how neither he nor the guy he was talking to understood that Catholics are Christians. THough, he didn't delve into that enough to really know what he thought, just the other dude.

However, it was interesting story and good for him for debating him out of further damaging "therapy."


I hadn't seen a story that popped on there. This is disgusting.
