I know you put "cure" in quotes, Jason, but here's a question based on that word. If no one had been raised thinking that there was in any way anything "wrong" with males preferring males or females preferring females, would the word "cure" ever have come up, or have ever had any relevance to the fact that some have those preferences? It seems to me that the prejudice had to have come first. Otherwise there is no basis for the concept of having to be "cured" of having that disposition. My point, if I have one, is that, as in so many other cases, the dogma came first, followed shortly there- after by the prejudice.
