I just let things rip. I hope things are little calmer now.

I envy your ‘ex-gay’ friend! I appreciate the heart that comes through in everything you post. Glad to see you in this thread.

Hey ANN! Your recent comments forced me to go digging for this relic of my Throckmorton history. I received this friendly inquiry in response to my very first posting. I can laugh about it now….

Ed, humor my curiosity if you will.

I noticed that at one point in the past (1977 or thereabouts) you were pledged to celibacy and anticipating marriage fairly soon. I really don’t know much of your testimony since that time so please tell me, did that ever happen?

Were you every able to reorient your sexuality so that now you are attracted solely to women and never to men? Did you marry?

I notice that you favor therapy for that effort and wondered if that was based on personal success in such therapy? Do you know anyone personally who has actually changed attraction completely from the same sex to the opposite sex?

Thanks, and I hope I’m not being too personal or asking too many questions.

Not only was it my first blog here, it was my first blog ANYWHERE. What an initiation!

I completely agree!

“I just don’t think they want to explain themselves to those that question the validity of their decision or the life they are living now.”

This is true for heterosexuals, those who consider themselves “ex-gay,” and those currently in a same-sex relationship.
