He probably needed a theorpt because he had such ****ty parents.Originally posted by Lorizael
Sucks. Probably more to it, though. Why'd he have a therapist in the first place?

Why are parents so inclined to have an absolute fit over it? I am sure my parents, although being quite progressive, would probably find it very difficult to deal wth. Yet I wouldn't be bothered, I don't see a problem...Originally posted by Asher
Shock, denial, "it's a phase". But they said they loved me no matter what.

I think if you are only son, coming out as gay is worse, since for the parents it means no grandsons etc, if the gay child is the youngest of five brothers, I dont think parents would take it that bad.I need a foot massageComment

Fell for what?Originally posted by Kuciwalker
I find the fact that Asher fell for it hook line and sinker funny.
You said it was satire, which is close to what many people have been saying, and then you say it's a joke when people pick on your choice of words.
I see this one a bit more too often.
Oops I'm wrong I mean it's a joke ha ha you fell for it, shame on you.Comment

I didn't say I was joking. Read through the exchange again. The "it" that Asher fell for refers to the story in the OP...Comment

I got the same vibe as drake, from the same sentence.
That doesn't mean it's definitely BS. This sort of thing does happen in real life all the time, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. Either way, the poster's an *******.I talked it over with his therapist, who had the ludicrous idea that homosexuality was unchangable..."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

Total troll.
Checking here, her first post ever on that forum is the one quoted in the OP. Her third post contains the wonderful nugget, "I've heard stuff about clients going there and becoming depressed after they couldnt change, and then killing themselves. I dont want that to happen to my son." Post five reveals the suicide.
Yes, teen suicide is a problem. Yes, gay teens are especially at risk. This, however, is just a pathetic troll trying to scare some Bible-thumpers out of their anti-gay bigotry.

I don't understand the logic that because it's a new user it's a troll. If the woman is truly in distress she can google "christian support" online or whatever and find such a group and confide in them and receive Christian ideals in return.
The fact that the "troll" never completed the task (eg, actually mocking them at the end or whatever) tells me it wasn't a troll at all.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this happened, because it's not that rare, actually. It's just interesting to see the kind of stuff on a public forum. And even if this was a fake incident, it's very believable and the responses she got were 100% real..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

It's a troll. The word "ludicrous" is the big tip-off. It's a typical way people set up lame "satirical" strawman arguments. For example:
No, the troll isn't believable. Otherwise, how come you're the only person on this site who believed it?I don't understand why people are against the Patriot Act. I guess some people subscribe to the ludicrous idea that people have civil rights. LOL I AM SO CLEVER.
But yes, most of the responses are genuine. People are dumb enough to fall for trolls, even the lame ones."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

I "fell" for it because this would not be the first time something like that happened. I think a lot of people here just aren't aware that it's not uncommon, it's just something not publicized widely in society.
Because people are disturbed by it they find ways to make themselves feel better, and to pretend like that stuff doesn't happen and she's clearly just a troll is a convenient way to deny facing the real issue."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.
