GAY CONVERSION? THIS IS THE LAST STRAW

I was angry about the refusal by those in bed with The Nut Case Rebellious Anarchists to admit that this country has a problem with gun violence even after the children killed at some recent mass shootings. I was angry about the crowd cheering at that 2012 debate when one candidate answered yes to the question of whether or not those of us with preexisting conditions should just be allowed to die (a comment which I personally have never heard any Republican disavow, even though I have been told that some have, and have certainly never had any Republican that I know disavow to my face, even though I have told more than one more than once each that I have a preexisting condition). I was irate or beyond when Dan Patrick talked about The Second Amendment like it was The Second Commandment and then said that he would make sure that those of us with health "issues" in Texas went back to being treated like subhuman pieces of pond sludge, which is how I hear "get Obamacare out of Texas". But even with all of this it still MIGHT have been possible to be rea-son-able. But, after Friday's adoption by The Texas Republican Convention of the endorsement of Conversion Therapy, to turn those of us who are Gay what they call "straight", which is of course calling us crooked, that ship has sailed clean off the face of The Earth, out of this Solar System and even out of The Milky Way Galaxy. I WILL NOT be called an inferior being because of the biology that I was born to have, and those who say that being Gay is in and of itself evil are either saying that GOD created something evil or are attributing creative powers to The Destroyer a.k.a. Satan. Either of these is, to say the least, Theologically Problematic. Also, since we are how we were made to be, trying to use psychiatric treatments to change us is as ridiculous and pointless as trying to use such treatments to turn a man into a woman or a woman into a man. Obviously, this is absurd, but no less absurd than trying to change somebody's Sexual Orientation. They may tell others they have changed so that the TORTURE will end, but identities at these fundamental levels CAN NOT be truly changed, and such attempts SHOULD NOT be made. So, it is both misguided at best, downright evil at worst, to say those of us who are Gay (or any of the rest) need to and or should be converted and absurd to think that we can. That is why I say, THIS IS THE LAST STRAW,and there I end this post, although this fight is just beginning.
