Film: SCHOOLS have a role in "helping" people not to be homosexual
AgapePress) - In October, churches, libraries, and colleges will be showing a documentary to raise dialogue concerning alternatives for people who experience same-sex attraction.

The documentary I Do Exist features five former homosexuals who share their testimonies about choosing to leave the homosexual lifestyle. During the week of October 8-15, the video will be shown by groups across the United States that believe homosexuals can change. The film, which conveys the message no one is born a homosexual, premiered last year as a way to counter a "homosexual pride" celebration called National Coming Out Day....


Baehr

Christian film critic and Hollywood activist Dr. Ted Baehr, publisher of MovieGuide, describes I Do Exist as "a wonderful and necessary video to dispel some of the confusions of our age." ...

One of the former homosexuals featured in I Do Exist was once featured in an award-winning film as a homosexual man. Noe Gutierrez shares about that experience from the perspective of now being straight. In addition, the film makes recommendations concerning the role of church and schools to provide help to those who are experiencing same-sex attractions but do not want to take on a homosexual identity.

1. discover one's inner heterosexuality?-orjust conform to a different group?
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 07:20 AM by papau
The pressure to conform is enormous no matter what group you hang with. And I thought the gay DNA idea seems to have a bit of science - albeit not a lot.

But I thought the goal of life - including the church and those in psychotherapy - is to help people establish their own identity?

The ex-gay is as real and as justified to their life style as anyone else, IMHO, but the pressure to be anything - or ex-anything - should come from within.

3. But sexuality is not a lifestyle
I understand your point that people are entitled to do what they want, but I am very skeptical that one becomes "ex-gay".

2. I don't understand these bastards,
Does that mean they can show me a video to raise dialogue concerning alternatives for people who experience being born in the UK?.
