A very well-written article although it focuses on "fixing 'em" seemingly by getting' them Hitched. I'm not sure that's a supportable stand (unless there is more to the story - and there maybe: I confess I've staid away from the literature of 'the cure' movement). But all his points, short of that, I agreed with wholeheartedly.

I don't think "homosexuality" is the sickness though - its not what needs the cure - sin is. And I'm still not sure God takes away one's temptations - one's "thorn in the flesh". I won't *limit* God there: I know people who claim to be living cured. So, ok.

Thanks for sharing this link.
