Gay man turned straight
Hi. I’m the Reply Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online planet, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, enjoy a ghost in the machine.
I hold some human assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to analyze tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.
If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just prefer me, The Reply Wall.
Straight Same-sex attracted
Looks prefer bromance, actually romance.
Steve:But how? You're the biggest fratboy dudebro I've ever met. You say things enjoy "broseph" and "chillax", you're crude, you're FAT! How can you be gay?

Originally treated as a subversion of the common gay stereotypes, the Straight Gay is a homosexual male or female nature who has no camp mannerisms, Butch Lesbian tendencies, or obviously "gay" affectations.
In the earliest cases, Straight Gays were mostly there for farcical reasons: perhaps as a misunderstanding in which a straight personality ends up unwittingly inviting himself out on a "date" with a 'stealthy' gay man, or in which a homophobic character espouses his views to a stranger, only to find out that the person he's talking to is gay. Currently, the Strai
Some Gays Can Go Vertical, Study Says
May 9 -- Can gay men and women become heterosexual?
A controversial new study says yes — if they really want to. Critics, though, say the study's subjects may be deluding themselves and that the subject group was scientifically invalid because many of them were referred by anti-gay religious groups.
Dr. Robert Spitzer, a psychiatry professor at Columbia University, said he began his study as a skeptic — believing, as major mental health organizations do, that sexual orientation cannot be changed, and attempts to carry out so can even bring about harm.
But Spitzer's study, which has not yet been published or reviewed, seems to indicate otherwise. Spitzer says he spoke to 143 men and 57 women who say they changed their orientation from gay to straight, and concluded that 66 percent of the men and 44 percent of women reached what he called good heterosexual functioning — a sustained, loving heterosexual relationship within the past year and getting enough emotional satisfaction to rate at least a seven on a 10-point scale.
He said those who changed their orientation had satisfying heterosexual sex at least monthly and never or rarely thoug
Gay Conversion: I Slept With Over 200 Men, Now I'm a Happily Married Heterosexual Dad
In an effort to present both sides of the gay conversion debate, IBT invited a man whose sexuality changed through therapy to tell his story.
James Parker's article is full, frank and passionate, and we understand our readers may not agree with his views. Please note the opinions expressed below do not reflect those of IBTimes UK.
I guess I became straight by accident. It was never a grand plan; the therapy was an attempt to resolve promise issues, rather than sexual persona. I never had any want to change my sexuality. But that's what happened – in fact I changed everything.
Having had hundreds of homosexual partners, I eventually married a woman and had a child. And my whole outlook on life changed. I grew from a boisterous and arrogant person, trying desperately to mask my deep insecurities in group situations, into a strong, assertive guy who loved sports and war films. At the age of 46, I've never felt better in my own skin.
But before we receive into the details of my conversion, let's go back to the beginning.
I knew I was gay at about 10 or 11. My cousin himself had come
