There's never a good time! What I wonder is how they didn't know! It is often apparent from a young age!

Wasn’t this once the world’s greatest financial newspaper? What happened?

Don’t be gay, Sparky. Don’t be gay.

Telehealth only makes a flawed approach more accessible. Problem is the DSM and definition of mental health are not scientific. They are contrived philosophies leaving practitioners ample room for interpretation & biased implementation. The 4 social emotions framework fixes all!

But did he try it?

Yeah, start by getting rid of that shirt .

Horrible. Everyone should be treated like they treat others. If respect and caring is what you give, it is what you should get back.

He could... Get a job... Pay his own rent... Like everybody else...

The therapist is supposed to MAKE his parents accept that..? LOL

Its a fluid choice

Looks like pretty good advice to me

Sounds Caleb has 2 issues going on: wanting affirmation his sexual attraction was ok & wanting to be back in relationship w/ his family. Sounds like the counselor told him he really couldn't have both...'you sacrifice your family or you sacrifice being gay' What did he expect?🤷‍♀️

Good advice?

Well he doesn't need to be gay. It's a choice after all...

Did he try it?

Good advice.

Well, it's a start.

So what is wrong with being gay?

Online mental health is like online medical treatment. Buyer beware.

The mental health worker should have a different DSM 5 to identify mental disorders in the near future.

That doesn't help but adjusted life expectations do. Help acquiring his own birth record copies does. Help finding safe work does.

The Musical The Book of Mormon 'gotta pray the gay away'

kirkmin sponsor any thoughts? sounds like a bullshit story

It's not reasonable to expect others to endorse same sex sexual behavior any more than they should have to endorse fornication or adultery. Anyone should treat same sex attraction feelings as similar to other feelings, we need to act morally, obviously not everything is moral.

That’s awful.

No chance this really happened
