Each day, religious wingnuts tell gay people that they weren't born gay. Gayness is apparently just an illusion, even if we can remember same-sex attractions from when we were five years old. Never mind all that, they say. We can turn straight any time we want to (if we ask Jeebus for help).
I think these folks should demonstrate this simple sexual orientation-changing process by, say, having one of their straight male bigots turn gay. You know, so we can see how easy it is to change one's sexual orientation. That's the challenge, bigots -- just turn gay, preferably while a camera is rolling.
But as I think further about this, I realize such a demonstration would have little meaning. Because let's face it, almost every bigot who says gays can go straight...is actually a closet case. And seeing a closet case "turn gay" would be a joke. They're already gay.
Never mind.
