British TV: CURE ME! I'm Gay!

The British are well known for their dry sense of humor, but the latest "joke" is no laughing matter.  British TV Doctor/personality Christian Jesson is taking the serious matter of sexuality and exploring whether or not it really is possible to take a gay individual and turn them strait though gay conversion therapy methods.

Jenson, whom is gay himself and in a relationship will be undergoing a number of the treatments  while being filmed,  and then take a "sexuality test" which involves use of a device that measures sexual arousal.  The purpose of this series?  To test their legitimacy.

This could be both a good and a bad move.  On the one hand the show will interview a number of people that have undergone reparative therapy.  A negative result from that is they will interview someone that swears that they went though it and it worked well and they are living happy normal lives.  The problem with that is it gives an unrealistic and a non factual view of homosexuality, which has been proven over and over again though medical science from many different branches of medicine that homosexuality is natural and cannot be changed.  The below is probably one of the best explanations of how the genetics work where homosexuality is concerned.

The science has been well documented in the field and yet the religious zealots of the world seem to want to continue to throw their beliefs in our faces as if theirs is the only proper conclusion forgetting that science has never been a friend of religion and that more and more people whom are part of the gay community don't believe in biblical religion at all.  And that's the sad part.  The stance or belief that homosexuality is not natural is purely a religious one.  So basically they want to shove their beliefs in the face of others when they themselves freak out at anyone else presenting anything that might be different or contradiction of their own beliefs.

Now the positive that I see that could come from this is, its proven in public view that homosexuality completely natural and that reparative therapy doesn't work.  The claims of the church completely debunked perhaps more than enough people will open their eyes and start allowing things to get moving and make it possible for gay men and women to be able to live a normal accepted life rather than having to hide who they are for fear of the wrath of a god they done necessarily even believe in.  That's a day certainly to look forward too.
