I Cant Think Straight Movie Review: Aggressive movie presenting Christian Jordanian Palestinian Girl and Muslim Indian as Lesbians! Sick Gay producers
Posted on 11/22/2008
Aggressive movie presenting Christian Jordanian Palestinian Girl and Muslim Indian as Lesbians! Sick Gay producers messing up with forbidden matters!
One sick movie called "I can't think straight" has been produced and released to cinema centers on 21st of Nov 2008. the aggressive film is centered on some nervy and sensitive aspects, messing up and presenting the Exact Opposite of Jordanians, Palestinians, Christianity and Islam in one damn movie!
I have no idea where did the film spark come from, how come you choose a Christian Jordanian Palestinian Girl against a Muslim Indian Girl?! where such issue is forbidden in both religions and both don't even allow straight sexual relationships out of Marriage!! how come you choose the country that cares the most about reputation and honor, Jordan, where girls honor is a red line, and priority number one to be kept clean for all families! where messing up with such issues may even get you killed! How come you choose to go through one of the most serious Political Issues Palestine-Israel and Jordanians of Palestinians origins in one of the cheapest topics ever: gays-lesbians damn population!
Well, if you want to make a contrast and cultural intersections to make some trashy movie survive and make millions of dollars revenue, then these are the wrong cultures and religions to be intersected! you should have chosen some other European, Asian or American cities where the damn Gay Population is more counted, where percentage is higher! and you shouldn't have made any connection to Christianity nor Islam, as such sick people (gays and lesbians) are not following either religion, they do their unethical activities based on some silly sick secularist atheist basis, which is against nature!
Where the Hell is the world going? do we move forward or backward? Day by day, Media is emphasizing more and more on such sick topics, spreading it all over, trying to make such forbidden aspects acceptable by letting people discuss it freely, leading some low faithless people to go in that wrong way of the stupid gay population!!
P.S: we are not discussing the movie's scenario, lighting, acting, action, or script.. we are discussing the characters background set for the movie and its cultural dimensions! even if this is based on some real story, and we know we have some minor percentage of gays here, but that doesn't mean that the Jordanian culture is the right culture to be filmed in such cases! such films should use cultures were the percentage is high and recognizable!
Movie Synopsis [as written by producers]
[[
Tala, a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin, prepares for an elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters a timid Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend Ali.
Tala comes from a spirited Christian family; whereas Leyla’s strong Muslim upbringing could not be more different from each other but the attraction is immediate between both girls. Tala’s feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and soon both women reveal their feelings for each other.
However, Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made and escapes back to Jordan where her chain-smoking, high-brow mother finishes preparations for her ostentatious wedding. As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, simmering family tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself and she breaks off the wedding.
Meanwhile a heartbroken Leyla relishes her newly found sense of identity and self-respect and moves on with her new life – much to the shock of her parents.
Single again, Tala flies back to London – but it will take more than just a date set up by Ali and Leyla’s sister Zina to win Leyla back.
The Film - I Can’t Think Straight … a sexy romance with a twist:
“I Can’t Think Straight” is novelist and screenwriter, Shamim Sarif’s debut film as a director, a romantic comedy where both lead protagonists are women and the cultural backdrop forms an intelligent base for their journey towards self-awareness and each other.
“The film has been described as a Working Title-style romantic comedy with a twist,” explains producer Hanan Kattan.
Kattan continues, “I think the London summertime setting, and the overcoming of obstacles to the love story make “I Can’t Think Straight” a feel-good movie in the traditional style. But the girl meets girl storyline and the cultural references lend it an edgy, contemporary intelligence too.”
The international cast headed by Canadian actress Lisa Ray (Deepa Mehta’s Water – which garnered a Best Foreign Picture Academy Award® nomination in 2007). Her performance in Water also earned her the Best Actress Award from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle.
Other cast includes Sheetal Sheth (Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World), comedic actress Nina Wadia (Bend it Like Beckham, Eastenders, Goodness Gracious Me) and Antonia Frering and Rez Kempton (The Mystic Masseur).

I can already see that hypocritical ARAB folks giving you crap about this movie.
But hey, on the brighter side, movies are usually written about myths and fiction -because it draws more crowd- I guess this doesn't leave that circle of myth and fiction! With some disgusting girl:on:girl action for those who like it
Haha I think you should change the title from "I Cant Think Straight Movie Review" to "How I hate gay people rant" because you didn't write a single sentence about the movie and just went on a rant, a hardly amusing one at that.
Haha that was the most "not trying to be amusing" amusing post of the day congrats
I am not discussing the movie's scenario, lighting, acting, action, or script.. i am discussing the characters background set for the movie and its cultural dimensions!
I agree movies are generally based on fiction.
Limo Rentals
I think Rani you are not being tolerant here especialy that this comes from a Christian minority like yourself who seeks tolerance in the Muslim world. You are attacking Gays and Lesbians from a personal side as if they are aliens. Actualy many Gays and Lesbians consider themselves reglegious and devoted Christians, Muslims and Jews, after all Faith is something between you and God. Some G&L are spirtual and athiasts but that also apllies on Straight people.
I think the issue of honor is very important and we do have a major problem here in Jordan when it comes to Honor killing, it's simply a murder crime and can never be justified. I knew a Christian student at University who was killed by her brother because she was in love with a Muslim guy. And a Muslim woman who was shot by her dad when he knew she was in love with a Christian man, and both victims were virgin. I think the story of the movie is interesting, first to know about an underground world that exists in the Arab world, and aslo about having love between two different relgions and backgrounds.
I havent seen the movie yet so I cant talk about it, but Rani we need more tolerance
well maybe i am being a bit sensitive as such things are so critical to be messed up with!
i don't believe in such concept: "religious, devoted or faithful gay", gays broke a major rule set by God and nature, and as i know that religion is a relationship (as friendship) between human being and God, here comes the point: you can't be friends with someone who you broke his well!
God is forgiving, merciful, but at the same time he is fair!
and i am not saying that murdering by the name of honor is right at all, but i am indicating how much crucial honor is in Jordan!
As u said Rani bkfee enhm they r breaking the major rules by GOD and nature !!
How can they even think of that ?? y Jordanian and Palestinian ?? y Muslims and Christians ??
Dont u guys think that there are many important issues which movies can discuss other than this especially that we r in da middle east not in europe or states !!
DONT u think eno bkfeene el msayeb ele 3nna w sortna el mshwha hnak lyzeedo el 6en bleh !!
you are correct Marwa, there are more important things to discuss especially in the middle east region!
finally someone is taking my side (the nature side) lol i wonder how gays now are discussing and trying to prove they are right lol
trying to spread that straight people are the weird ones now LOL aa5 bs aa5 denya a5er waget ;p
Rani, haha, Im sure the movie is not implying Str8 people as the ubnormal. True, Gays and Lesbians are far away from the normal that we are used to, but they exsited for more than 2000 years ago and underestimating their existance is simply dumb. I honestly don't care what a person does at night wither he goes to a str8 strip bar or Gay bar. It doesn't change my respect to that person. People are not judged by the way they looko but with what they do and give to humanity. Actualy now I can count more than a 100 str8 person that we need to get rid of in this world.
As for Marwa point, it is valid, we do have many important issues in the middle east and I can't comprehend what is happenig in Gaza. I havent seen any post bashing Mubarak and Egypt for closing their borders with Gaza and blocking Aid trucks to reach Gazans who are duying in hospitals who have been without electricity for the past 22 days. Go figure.
thanks
You are one piece of work aren't ya?
Here are a few pointers:
-Before starting a blog, learn how to write, it just makes reading your damn hypocrisies and idiotic sentences a bit more readable.
-Lesbians are hot. When they're arab, they're even hotter. We love lesbians and gays. Maybe you're so gay that you cannot realize that.
-Who are you, you little worm, to judge whether others are sick or not?
-May you fry in hell forever if you delete this comment.
How about just taking it as is, a story about two people who fall in love.
It's a love story, not a political thriller.
Why are you angry about something that's only opening up in select theaters? It isn't even a huge film.
one angry ARAB.. lol
Anonymous.. it could be taken as is, n may be considered as their own business, if it wasn't connected to certain nationality and religion!
Rani, glad you posted One Agnry Arab comment, don't want to see you fry in hell ;)
Rani, I think you are being judgemental here against a certain race or sexuality. You don't have to like any sexual act wither Gay, Lesbian, str8, Bisexual, but you have to know that all of the above exist and we have to respect how people are, simple.
Some of you think the movie is fiction – maybe not. I personally think it base on a real issue which is becoming part of our society. Today we see more and more people who become lesbian or gays. We cannot look away from the fact that there are people who are attractive to the same sex.
When I came to Jordan I was surprise to find out that there are so many people who are to the same sex and that there are places where they can go. That why I believe it necessary if we want to deal with the issue then we need to talk openly about it and without attack each other.
Whatever we like it or not then we have to realize it there.
One sick movie I have to see!Thanks!
it's really their choice to make ;).... it's shocking cause it's about 2 cultures that totally reject the idea of homosexuality...
either way, i have to see it :D
I think you answered the question yourself... It is precisley because of the aforementioned reasons and obstacles (Nationality, race, religion) that the setting was chosen... It's meant to show how incredibly difficult it will be for two people especially women, like these to fall in love and be happy.
Have you even seen the movie or at least watched the trailer? I've watched the trailer and personally it precisely reflects how scandalizing such a situation can be.
being gay is not sth to live with, or a duty for the society to cope with, they are NOT another race, its NOT a fashion or a new cool life style! we are not against them because its another type of discrimination (like being against black people or so), we are against them because they are against nature and God!
i guess there are two types of gays, those having problems with their hormones who should be physically treated, and the other type is those wanabeez who think its a cool thing to do and mostly they are bisexual, those should be mentally treated as the big problem is in their minds which are controlling their bodies!
so the solution is to heal both types, not to cope with them!
media is trying to make it acceptable, and those on the edge may fall for it, so watch out ;p
what's shocking me the most is that gays now (or those i dont care if he/she's gay or not people), are even discussing this issue trying to prove they are right! another couple of years with this mentality spreading over we will be facing a world whose gays are normal and straights are abnormal!!
OMG another reason for not bringing more children to this damn world!
With my all respect to all what said , I totally agree with Rani
Islam and Christianity were and are straight regarding their view towards homosexuality
God Adam and Eve and this is the way it should be not Adam and Adam or Eve and Eve as simple as that
About the film , well they intended to make it based on these characters on these backgrounds to create more media
Everybody has a right to their personal opinion. I love movies and I love listening (or reading) about opinions of other people. And, well, I'm quite amused when I was reading this blog. I can't help but thinking how angry you are because you managed to write a review as long as that. Thanks for sharing your views. :)
I m mainly not a fan of the lesbian and gay scene, I m not supportive of it, but I understand it s out there n I understand ppl accept it,
I respect them as any straight ones, we r all humans in the end, I did agree with which was mentioned in the article, I think similarly,
I was thinking of what makes lesbians as such and what makes gays, now some here thought why judge the movie according to its sexuality why not just
look at it as a nice love story, which I m sure it is, Brokeback mountain had an emotional love story as well to be loved,
now let s think love here, and separate the sexuality matter a bit, I definitely believe that a man can love a woman,
or another man - his dad, his friend- or even an animal, his pet a dog or a cat for example, maybe even an ape.
Now if you put the love totally aside and consider only the physical -sexual- act you end up with a physical animalistic action
-this is a definition, not meant to describe it badly-, now is it physically possible for a man to get physically engaged
-sexually - with a woman? of course! another man, well of course as well - we are talking physically possible here- ! an animals?! say an ape, why not,
IT IS physically possible, let's add up the love now, a man loves a woman he will get physical with her, a man loves a man he will do the same, why not, it s possible
in the end; and say a man
loves his long time pet an ape why not get physical too! does the last one sound yucky and against nature, for those who think yes, don’t be fooled by
the man-man or woman-woman physical engagements as not sounding yucky, it s the same concept, do not be fooled, you don’t find it awkward because it is so
common that you think it s normal, if the media works hard for the next 20 years in putting the image of man-animal physical engagement as being alright
-because love is all that counts- then you’ll be finding this scenario a normal one in 20 years, and to be honest I don’t care to mind that, since obviously
this world is teaching us to accept anything in the name of love, I truly don’t mind lesbians and gays, it s physically possible to be that, but it
is definitely not the track meant for mankind, it IS actually against nature rules, but ppl become that coz they can and they have been given the idea
that if they think they r in love that that is the right track to go and that it is alright, why don’t they just love each other without getting physical
when not appropriate, the ones who’ll say ‘no the hormones play wild, a person is born that’, well I say love or no love if the hormones play wild for man and a man, girl
and a girl then we are pretty much on the way hormones playing wild for other living group as animals, don’t forget our lovely apes, or dogs, the human mind is playing wilder than it should and is crossing the line.
Now why point out the religion aspect in this movie?! which is clearly done since obviously we all know the religion of the girls, it s not like 'no they
Didn’t mention it, n I don’t know maybe they Christian maybe Jews’, we know their religion coz it was meant to be mentioned and pointed out,
for any religion I find this disrespectful, coz I don’t know a religion that minds gays and lesbians, this is a loud message 'it doesn’t matter what your
religion is, you can love a person even of the same sex, that is alright, n u can have a physical relationship with that person and that s alright too, coz u r on love.'
-I commented enough earlier on this constant reasoning for the gay and lesbian scene-, this is the message some find intelligent, others simply disgusting,
same goes for the nationalities clearly pointed out, again nationalities against homo-sexual ideas, so same message is loud spoken in the movie here as
well as 'if you are an Indian, a Jordanian or Palestinian it s alright ...blah ... blah…', why are religions and nationalities which are controversial to
the homo sexuality mentioned and pointed out within the movie and in all movie's intros, simply coz the movie did want to spread the idea of the homo sexuality
as being ok into those areas, you cannot deny that, again disrespectful, coz if you had asked us the ppl related to those nations and religions most of us
would say don’t do this movie, couldn’t the movie makers think of that and have respect to nations not wanting this for their ppl?! and some of the movie
makers are Arab, I only say don’t think being a modern Arab is accepting this, modern is a word a lot of 'the not so clear minded' consider a reason for accepting things that we didn’t
before, movie makers are influential ppl, never underestimate a movie's effect, judge a movie and their makers for also 'the not so
obvious aspects' of the movie, don’t miss out aspects of religion and nationality that were CLEARLY POINTED OUT and ask yourself why were they!
Rani, if they are agaisnt God and Nature (just like Infidels) then we should start shooting them down in the streets! That is very racist. I do agree that Hollywood and the Media has made it more acceptable to have Gays in Movies, shows and the News, things are more relaxed for them, but they are still discriminatd in the heart of America in the south. Europeans in nature are more liberals (they can get married in Spain, UK and the Netherlands).
The main reason for homosexuality is not known yet, some scientis say its genetic and some say its behavioural. A few years ago, in high schools in America, teens found it cool to turn lesbians, usualy a phase, but still they can be bisexual, I have no idea.
Whatever the reason was, I realy don't care what people do i ntheir own bedrooms, the staright men in Amman sleazy bars with the russians aint better.
so chill out people, homosexuality has been here since the begining of time
well, I don't want humans getting Physical with animals as the norm, as animals do not have full brains like Humans and don't speak as well, now that's something I dont want to see happening ever, though some have fetish for that and dont make me go there now!
As for love, I believe Homosexuals (Gays and Lesbians) do not care about relegion, color, race or background. They do not put these barriers that Hetrosexuals have, even when those hetrosexual relations are outside the marriage domain, I find that interesting.
Ali says:'...I don't want humans getting Physical with animals ... as animals do not have full brains like Humans and don't speak as well, ... though some have fetish for that and dont make me go there now!...' .
How do u think the homosexuality thing started, some had a fetish for it! and it was said then 'I don't want man getting Physical with a man, as man and man is an awkward scenario of same sexes coming together and man only has done it with a woman, it s like he s doing it with himself then', Still it happened so '... as animals do not have full brains like Humans and don't speak as well' will not be the reason for it not to happen. sadly.
So man on man started with a fetish, hmmm didnt know men in the stone ages had fetish ;)
Wow! Woow! Wooow!
It is incredible, how a movie, makes you ALL guys/girls react!
I don’t know if you realized that, but you have been actually debating and exchanging thoughts on a sensitive subject, that is not taboo anymore. In itself, the debate is great.
MR. Dababneh might be right, or maybe not… but the point is, that "I can’t think straight" made an impact, clearly.
And that, that impact, doesn’t come from nowhere.
This is one.
Two, Rani, I think you should be more understanding.
You cannot judge without knowing people, or what they went thru, or what they experienced.
Trust me.
I have judged so, so many times, and then, when I was put in a position where I could experience or feel what the people I judged were going thru or living, I had remorses and regrets.
Live and let live.
Never forget that.
Jordanians and Palestinians, well, we are not that different.
Arab Christians and Arab Muslims, we are not that different…
you know why?
Look at our reaction, when Gaza is on fire.
All of us, Muslim, Christian, gays, lesbians, straight people, nuns, sheikhs, imams, priests…ALL have our hearts burning. We SHARE, that feeling that unites us.
We are Arabs;
It is a fact to be very proud of.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE PEOPLE
P.S : How did you manage to define i can't think straight as aggressive? Common! Two women cannot possibly be defined as aggressive. We need to sit and talk, i'll show you that it is nearly impossible for a hot,sexy, Palestinian women to be aggressive ;)
well it made an impact, n i already said so, this is how media goes these days, finding some forbidden matter to present just to make an impact regardless if its positive or not! and mainly the purpose of that is to make money only!
anyhow.. latest "Anonymous", you are talking to me like u know me, do u? LOL
hey everyone, thank you for commenting this subject. it is really interesting to read about someone elses opinion and i have to say that i'm stunned how much of a fuss such a movie is making.
and to get to my point and what rani said: "being gay is against nature and god [..]"
I have to say that of course I am not able to come up with an argument to tell you it's not against god, cause everything concerning god can not be falsified which is why it is really hard to discuss.
but second: I can come up with something about nature. two women having "physical contact" can somehow not be against nature, if we are part of it and if it's happening in our plant and animal world too.. just have a look for yourself and search the internet for it or go to your favourite library. there are lizards and plants which can actually live without males in their population..

happy reading!:)
Hello everyone!
How are you all?
I hope you're fine and wish you'll have at least as much happy times as sad times.
I have a few things to say:
First, on December 1 2008 Anonymous said:"... modern is a word a lot of "the not so clear minded" consider a reason for accepting things that we didn't before ..." and well, for me, being modern is not that. It is to think about a subject,discuss it with people of the same and of the opposite opinion and change of opinion or just keep the same old one, knowing another exists and maybe trying to make people who think differently change their minds by a pacific discussion. So, I say to everyone, arab or not, to be modern because it is, I think, really important.
Second, about the ape thing, for me, a man or a woman having sex with an ape doesn't have anything in common with a man or a woman having sex with a person of the same sex because yes, for me a man has sex with another man because he loves that other man but it isn't the only thing that makes they have sex.If they have sex, it's because that other man also loves the first man and he has agreed to have sex with him. It isn't the same with an ape cause the ape certainly doesn't love the man and knowing he can't talk he couldn't have agreed to have sex with him. So you see there's a big difference.
Third,gay and lebians are not all the same they also have different opinions, and if some of them think that being homosexual is normal and being heterosexual is abnormal, many do not think that at all. And I think the sentence shouldn't be either "being homosexual is normal and being heterosexual is abnornal" or "being heterosexual is normal and being homosexual is abnormal". I think it should be "being homosexual is as normal as being heterosexual".
I'm done for today I'll post some more later.
Please, read very carefully what I wrote and tell me what you think about it. I promise to read everything you'll write and to continue to post comments.
Hi ,I agree totally with Rani it is just anything ,and for the info the story is typical about the life of the producer (Hannan Kattan), she was born from Jordanian Palestine Christian family and married another women who had Indian origins. Don’t wonder from where they get the topic lol.
i disagree to your comment entirely.
i watched this movie and really loved it!
the last thing i would ever consider calling it is sick!
People are entitled to be with whom they choose-gay or straight! this couple obviously didnt choose to fall in love with each other!..
Rani you should definitly be a bit more open minded..
against nature?
if 2 woman can be attracted to each other.. isnt that natural?
think about it...
I pity you, I really do, to think that anything is more important than love, than realising and embracing who you are and who you love, to think living a subservient life could ever be fulfilling to either party involved...
This movie is not sick, it is beautiful, tender, and it scares you because it reaches into the hearts and minds of more people than you would like to admit. What you don't know yet, is that you have nothing to fear. "The Gay" won't hurt you.
Well since you are trying to be all religious here... god or nature has created gay people. We did not ask to be born this way. It is absolutely natural and we have the right to love. I did not just wake up one day and thought to myself hmmm... today I fancy being a lesbian! It is not a choice. A man's love to his wife is NOT greater than mine to my parner. I do not hurt anyone.
Well Rani since gay movies bother you so much and since you have so much passion critisizing gay people, it only indicates you're gay or a sad case or both, you should come out and be happy and let other people be happy.
I LOVE the movie!!!
Well dobne to the director and the producer and the cast!!! The two leading ladies are sexyyyyyy!!!
I hope there will come a day when Shammim and Hanan (the author and producer of the film) will be able to live in their respective homelands with each other and their children free of harassments or lethal dangers instead of having to live in "exile" abroad. As long as people invoke "God" to justify their own homophobia or even worse acts of violence and murder we have a long way to go before the world/the country implied becomes a save place for everybody to live in. If nothing else, the film has at least led to a discussion on this toping, which may be a first hopeful step to a more open society with more tolerance and understanding towards people having different opinions and living a different lifestyle. After all it is always better to discuss ones differing opinions than to resort to violence and murder (in the name of God, tradition or family honor or whatever else).
loved the movie. denying the existence of gays and lesbians is like denying the existence of god, of creation, of life. homosexuality has always existed, and will always exist. part of god's diverse creation. even in the animal kingdom! societies can try to repress it, as they have done with countless minorities, but in the end LOVE wins the day because GOD IS LOVE. And where you see LOVE GOD exists.
i will pray that your hatred and ignorance is lifted from you.
hello everyone
This is strange that people r fighting because their a sexuality issue .......................i think every individual in this world has a rite of freedom whether he/she is a muslim or christian or whether they wanna be gay or lesbain its there own choice their own life their own decission their own priorities ...........i mean Y u have to make it worse for someone if u cant make it rite............just help others to have better life Arab plastine or jordan wat r these just land that god made n people start fighting for it Some rules r not made by God its made by us Humans .........which is not rite my believe is that live ur life n let others live theirs............i saw the movie from the my point of view i liked the movie was something different n i think Shamim and Hannan are two brave people who actually made the movie knowing all this is happenin in the world well time is here to make ur childrens future bright not to fight thanks
Hey, I can't understand what's going on with the writer of this review!
In my opinion, "I can't think straight" is an excellent film! About the fact that the most important characters are Christian, Palestinian, Jordan, Indian...AND LESBIANS... That's what it makes their love challenging, difficult.... and..... ROMANTIC.
It's a great love story and, as for me, the writer of this review is being too subjective and closed-minded. Gays and Lesbians should be accepted, I'm sure there's a lot of people who agree with me =)
i think its sad that u should term this film aggressive it is purely a love story...i love this film...why do u seem to see it as a threat surely peole have the right to love and be loved no matter of sexuality! live and let live! i dont have a problem with hetros so why should you condemn and attack people like myself because i choose to sleep with a woman! love is love!
All normal people plus all religious authorities (three religions)all over the world, all doctors, all lawyers and judges, all security and military forces, must repeat must use their influance to stop such mad deeds.
President George Bush, made it very clear :
"Marriage is between man and woman".

Dear Saeed Sami (the normal man),
I realise you wrote this comment a long time ago, so there's a chance you might actually never see this answer I give you. But I have to say a few things, for all the other people that might see your absolutely untrue comment.
First of all, George Bush is an idiot and everybody knows that.
Second of all and probably the most important, it is true that a lot of people hate in this world, and so probably that hate is normal, but there are also a lot of people who love, so we can say that love is as normal as hate. But personally and I don't think that I'm the only one, I prefer a normal lover (as a lesbian for example) than a normal hater (as George Bush)
Well with respect to your view, you are saying gay people are against nature, and God will never forgive such act. But to inform you about homosexuality its not something that you can choose for yourself, its not by choice that you become gay or lesbian, God made them like that, if these gay people act as like straight people like yourself, they are going against their nature.
And God loves all his creation. So stop judging something you can never understand because homosexuality is not a disease which you can cure with medicine and it will just go away. You don't expect that gay people be with opposite sex which will be against their nature, or do you want them to be alone for their entire life, loveless and alone because that suits your so called perfect society?
