Former gay says he is proof homosexuality isn’t innate, that sexuality can change and SB 1172 is wrong

It’s great to hear voices like this in a sea of deaf ears:

ONE NEWS NOW – Meanwhile, California’s SB 1172 is set to go into effect January 1 — banning therapy for unwanted same-sex attractions for minors. Greg Quinlan, president of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX), says the measure was written with the idea that homosexual behavior is something that cannot be changed.

“I, as a former homosexual, along with tens of thousands of others who left homosexuality, [am] proof that it is not immutable; you can change,” Quinlan submits. “It is not innate; you are not born that way.”

The description of the PrideWorks seminar, which was sponsored in part by the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN), said that “sexuality is fluid, especially when it goes beyond the binary of ‘gay’ and ‘straight’ labels.”

“No one is born a homosexual. There is no genetic or biological evidence for that, and none will be found,” the PFOX president asserts. “Secondly, you can change if you want to change, and change for anything can be difficult and can be hard.”

Even so, Senator Ted Lieu (D), who authored SB 1172, claims therapy that seeks to alter same-sex attractions does not work because it is based on junk science.
