11. Probably. But I'd argue it's also right on a number of levels. YMMV, friend ...

If your argument is that 100% of people who are gay ... are conveniently joyously happy about that particular reality, I submit to you that you are incorrect.

Doesn't mean I'm suggesting there's a 'solution' ... just saying ... not EVERY gay person is ecstatic that they are, and a certain % may 'wish things were different', and may wish to avail themselves of what they perceive as a possible 'solution'.

Now, if this app is not 100% free, it changes my stance on the subject.

Let me be really clear ... I MYSELF, if I were gay, would be happily gay. I wouldn't fight it, I wouldn't care to. But I'm not 'everyone'.

You can find this 'wrong', but it won't change this particular fact.

I'll put it to you this way ... to be 'born gay, but wish you were not' ... is inherently not all that different from 'being born male, but wish you were not'.

Is it?
