Weeeeelllll…my mom’s old college friend died last week, someone who did a lot of good in her life and died a long, hard death. I don’t think she’ll be saying howdy to Uday and Qusay up there right now. But you’re right that the default position of God, as I understand it from CCD. is that he loves us all and wants us all to go to heaven unless we deliberately choose evil. The OP (where iiiiiis he?) thinks that being gay is enough to do that. I and almost everybody else here disagrees. ---

personally, I was chilled to the bone by the op’s anecdotal “cure” . I live in fear that my 100,000 (give or take) gay neighbors will wake up some morning and decide to sashay their buffed, manicured, color-coordinated tasteful & tight asses over to North Beach and start competing with me for pussy. ---

I’d be out on my ass in a heartbeat. makes you want to dope slap those crusaders who devote their life to standing on the corner of Castro and Market trying to effectuate just such a “queer try at a straight guy”.
