I told my friend that I was gay and he told me that he had been gay too but he took some counseling that made him straight. I don't believe that he is straight because he told me that he still thinks about guys and that he has to force himself to think about different things whenever he thinks about them. He was told that homosexuality was caused by trauma as a child. They also told him that if he acted on his homosexual wishes that he would go to Hell. I believe that we are all born however we are born. They told him that we are all born straight and are made gay my trauma as a child or other influences. I don't even think he likes girls sexually. I don't want him to live his life lying to himself. The way he's going he's going to end up alone.

Do you guys have any advice on what I should tell him. I don't think he's very happy trying to force himself to be something he's not. I found some articles on the internet that say that you are born gay and one that shows him that God made him gay because it was part of his plan. Anything else I could show him or tell him? Thanks in advance.

Do you have any advice? If so you can give it here.
