That's because your orientation is consistent with your
belief..
For gay christians.. One the one hand, the Church told them to
change.. But on the other hand, they can't seem to change after
much struggle, leading to what psychologists called "Cognitive
Dissonance".. Which lead to other psychological ailments (e.g.,
depression, suicide, etc).. Which is why American Psychological
Association is so against "reparative therapy"..
How do you overcome something as basic as sexual attraction?
I'm assuming that you are male, and you are of a certain age (let's
say above 20).. How will you body react when you meet an attractive
woman?
For homosexuals, just replace the woman by man..
We do not choose who we feel attracted to.. You do not tell your
mind whether to like or dislike a certain person.. You look at
him/her and your body will give you signal whether you like or
dislike that person..
