There are many variations to this question:
Can a special ‘pooja‘ make my child straight? Can yoga “cure” my child? Can a psychologist “cure” my child?
The long and short answer is: NO.
You can pray for a million dollars to fall from the sky into your lap and you’re more likely to get your prayers answered than if you try to pray away the gay!
Think about it, can you pray that someone turns gay? I certainly pray that every homophobic person I meet turns gay. It hasn’t worked. So stop praying for the cure and pray for the million dollars instead.
Great...

Sounds to me like seeking opportuinity in disguise, for fame, career and money. All at the nice time, when whole world is recession hit. Gurus spreading their wings across nation now, Political leaders speculating about the possible loss or gain of vote-banks at upcoming polls, and our businessmen calculating their possible growth in market share.
Any educated person, may or may not be literate, will not get lured by such false claims.
For others, my message for them would be: Live and Let Live. Love and be loved.

I don’t know about a cure, but my experience with (most, not all) psychologists/counsellors etc was – they try to question your orientation so much, first want to establish you are truly ‘gay’ before helping you to deal with it. Which in turn did confuse me at times, esp. coz it somehow didn’t help me to deal with the guilt I was already burdened with. I had gone to them on my own -to understand my feelings, not out of family pressure for a cure. I do not know if other people have experienced this to a more-or-lesser degree.
I’d rather pray for acceptance for and from everybody…
Broom, I have responded to it. Sorry for the delayed response.
@Deeps: lols…you reminded me of my first quest. I had approached a renowned Reiki Grand Master respected Ms Renu, when I was just 18. But unfortunately, my mum too had accompanied. The moment I uttered “Problem is that I am in love with another female and I cannot spend my whole life with her” BANG…Renu ma’m ended up consoling my mum. I was more worrying about my 1000/- getting wasted as the time ticked, and the session got over while my mum consulted her for other topics, ignoring mine completely. I guess, she felt ashamed of me. But ma’m did recommend a 7 days reiki healing sessions for me, which I enjoyed a lot, and was able to deal with the tensed atmosphere back at home,as I was actually bycotted for the rest of my days there, then I went back to my hostel where my girl was eagerly waiting for me…!!!
Umm. The million dollar prayer isnt working either!
What??? No cure? Are you sure? I heard it is contagious. Then surely it is a virus. Does it spread by touching or is it airborne?

@iz: my point exactly!
