- No need to be sorry. And no need to assume that anyone who asks a
- question about the Kinsey middle-range thinks in terms of 'cures',
- or thinks that people should be cured. I even went to the point
- of stating that in my post. What isn't answered is, how can you
- ever validate the claim of someone who claims to have been homosexual
- (not bisexual, or 'in the middle') who then claims to have switched
- to being hetrosexual. It seems any such thing is just dismissed
- as 'well, he was kinsey-middle'. Sort of a catch-22.
