Should Lesley Pilkington be struck off?

She claims to be able to turn gay men straight via counselling, and agrees that homosexuality as "a mental illness, an addiction and antireligious phenomenon”.

However...if a gay man or woman is genuinely unhappy being gay and wants to seek counselling for a 'cure', shouldn't they have the option?

Or is this reinforcing the idea that homosexuality is a mental illness and that all people are really heterosexual underneath?

[ummmm]

But to some it is...

You just can't help yourselves, why don't you try to grow up?

[sandyRoe]

I think I may be entering my dotage. My growing days are done.

Why is it, whenever there is a 'gay' post, it gets dragged in the direction of the 'unpalatable physical acts' by the very bloomin' people who profess to abhor the thoughts of such acts ?

What on earth has *that* got to do with the OP ?

[ummmm]

It's like thinking about your Mum and Dad having sex. It's not a pleasant thought so don't think about it...

[jackthehat]

It's the way they have been brought up, or at least I think that's how the argument runs.....?!?

2 blokes and 2 women ?

sounds like one of my 'films'.

[sandyRoe]

Bob + Carol + Ted + Alice?

ankou....naaaaah! my film is one woman and two blokes.........great film.

[Ankou]

lol sqad,

twos company, threes a crowd
fours too many, and fives not allowed.

[ummmm]

My point is...it's not a nice thought. So don't think about it.

But what's normal? I know straight people that do sex acts 'as the norm' that people find so disgusting if it was between two men...

Is is normal to want to whipped during sex? Lot's of hetro couples do that...people even pay for it.

What it comes down to is you just have to accept that other people have different ideas of what 'normal' is...

ankou....maybe.....just maybe.

Conceiving children is much less hassle when each of the partners has a differing set of pipes and tubes from the other one................

But not all relationships are based on the urge or ability to procreate.

[Sqad]

ummmm

<<<<I'm just off to pee on Ginger :-)<<<<

LOL....that IS normal and also some women like it.

[ummmm]

Only normal to people who like it...
