I am doing a persuasive essay on ex-gay ministries, and I was wondering what others believe regarding the ability of a homosexual to become (through therapy and counseling) heterosexual.

I'm just as bad as straight guys...only chicks do it for me.

The best thing to do, I'd think, would be to ask someone who claims to be an ex-gay.

i don't think they can be hetero, they can just go into denial, just like a 100% straight person can't become gay.

I have no idea, one of my friends just told me she was straight when she'd been bi since we met. I really don't think that gays and bis can become heterosexual through therapy.

I think it would just create more controversy within the mind of one than anything which can create more problems such as self mutilation, depression, etc.

I think sexuality is actually a lot more fluid than the terms "homosexual" and "heterosexual" give credit to (even bisexual perhaps).

However I think it might be possible some people who have a sexual aversion to the opposite sex could overcome that aversion.

Oh I read this wrong.
Through counseling and stuff when they don't want to go through it: no.
If they want to and go to counseling and such and truly want to become hetero, yes.
I think it's a frame of mind, not something set into stone.

Impossible. The homosexual just learns discipline about controlling his urges. I've never seen one personally, but i think cases like that the ex-gay just becomes a closeted bisexual.
