I can't imagine bisexuality fitting into the Exodus "mannish girl/girlish man" view of sexual orientation. Or perhaps we could really blow their minds by pointing out that every person they successfully get into be with a member of the opposite sex is, in a purely mechanical sense, suddenly bisexual. I suppose there should be an ex-straight ministry, whose "cure" consists of man-on-man-on-woman-on-woman-on-trans loving. There is a parallel, but a lot of racism has become "passive", underground, silent, whereas people can't seem to get enough of proclaiming their conditional non-homophobia.

Go take a look at hotornot.com's meetme page. Browse through the photo's and you'll see gay men and women of every shape, type, and interest. It's hard to believe people could still be so stupid in this day and age. Exodus has a strange philosophy but I guess there is a need for it after all they have customers. I fear though that they are in fact directing people who are unhappy to their organisation instead of to valid mental health professionals. If you cannot accept yourself and you can change than may God grant you the courage to do that but I think most people will find that they need to accept the things they cannot change and for help doing that there are plenty of actual professionals out there to visit. This is all very sad. All I can say is that for anyone trying to sterotype gay men or women. Go take a look at hotornot.com’s meetme page.

We don't have to live with, accept, or tolerate homosexulaity if it can be "reformed". It shifts "the blame" back onto the individual and absolves society of any responsibility.
