Do you believe that people can be cured of a homosexual addiction like they can from alcohol or drugs?
My brother says he can’t change the fact that he is gay but I think he is using that as a cop out like drug users or alcoholics who say they can’t quit. I know he can quit if he really wanted to. I want nephews and nieces and he should know that being gay is wrong and a terrible addiction he has that he needs to stop.

yes, it’s a sexual addiction.

Give him a women, naked, and see what happens.
That should cure him.

What are you talking about?? People can’t help it if they’re gay or not. It’s just the way they’re born. Just like how you can’t help it that you’re straight.

your selfish, “you want nieces and nephews” love is not an addiction so you cant make him stop loving men just like i cant make you stop loving men

This may be hard for some people to believe but on a talk show a while back there was a guy who was gay but then became straight because he found a woman he met too irresistable. He had better time with her then with the other guys.

You are a terrible person for thinking that.

Don’t be so selfish! What he decides to do with his life and body is none of your business. Want nieces and nephews? Sheesh…

You can’t be serious.

I think you’ve got a bible shoved up your a.s.s. and need some serious talking to. Homosexuality is not a choice, it is something you are born with. It’s in his DNA. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A DISEASE!!! It is perfectly normal to be gay. You go out with str8 people and is not considered an addiction, so why is it that him being gay is considered an “addiction”. Dammit, you don’t even know what you’re accusing him of.
You, being straight, can go out with/kiss a girl, but will you ever have feelings of love for her? No, because you were born to like guys. Your brother can go out with a girl but will never have feelings for her because he was born to like guys, too.
You are either going to accept him or you will ruin your relationship with him. He will never trust you again if you try to change him. He is your brother and you should love him no matter what. And you shouldn’t be so selfish as to complain about not having neices and nephews. There are people without families. There are homosexuals who have been abandoned by their families because they were too selfish and ashamed to accept them. There have been homosexuals who have been killed because of their orientation.
If I were you, I would seriously consider what you are asking and how that affects OTHER people, including your brother.

You can’t cure addiction. A drug addict will always want the drug. An alcoholic will never get to the point where they can just have one. Take it from someone who has actually studied addictions and has been involved in drug and alcohol abuse counseling, homosexuality and addiction are two different things.
Educate yourself.

no, it’s not like an alcohol addiction. it’s sexuality. it’s exactly the same as asking a straight person to “quit”. your brother is gay and deal with it. he needs lots of support… what kind of a sister are you

I don’t want to cause you no pain but if your bro was born gay then he likes it that way..he will only get deeper into that homosexual lifestyle if he hasn’t already…now there is a brighter side to your worry but only if he picked up his gayness growing up…then there is the possibility that he can change his ways back to a heterosexual lifestyle..but that is no promise that he will marry a female and have children
..and homosexuality in itself is not an addiction for your bro if he was born gay..it’s the waking up and living another day just to look forward to hanging out, loving, romancing and playing sexually with another male..that would be where addiction would come into play…I suggest introducing your bro to a sexy voluptuous mature adult heterosexual woman with a heart of gold, who will help you and maybe get your bro to reconsider his gay ways..if they can be changed that should do it~peace

Although I myself am straight, I find it wrong to refer to your brother’s sexuality as “something that can be cured”…it’s not a disease. It’s his lifestyle. Maybe you should leave him be.

Since your question deals with addiction, you should check out this site, it has lots of helpful info that might help with your question:

This site has a lot of great resources for people dealing with addiction or recovery, and those who know people who are dealing with it. It is worth a look in my opinion.

Um, no. Sexual orientation and substance dependence are completely different things. Homosexuality is NOT an “addiction”.
