There used to be a time when Homosexuality was thought of as a disease and something that needed to be "cured".

There used to be a time when Michael Jackson was black, but he "cured" himself and went on to have three snow white children. :twisted:

I'm under the impression that this hasn't changed at all. Only the phrasing of homophobic groups and individuals has changed to be slightly more 'subtle'.

There are still churches not far from where I live, where there are 'healing' sessions that are meant to cure people of homosexuality. They claim to cure AIDS as well.

There are actually still plenty of groups who think they can "cure" homosexuality.

There is a big difference though. Skin colour and sexuality don't directly have a negative impact on someone's life, or limit their ability to live a successful life. Regardless of what people like to think, autism does.

I immediately thought both of those things when I read the title of this topic, LOL. Great minds think alike (and autisticly :P ).

A cure would be sweet.
Won't happen, though.
