Jackie Hill-Perry considers herself not merely an agent of change, but its embodiment as well.
A Christian spoken-word poet from Chicago, Ms. Hill-Perry professes to be a former lesbian — a change she ascribes to God.
God, she says, “not only changes your affections and your heart, but He gives you new affections that you didn’t have.” Now married to a Christian man, the 25-year-old poet is pregnant with the newlyweds’ first child, which is due Dec. 13.
Her debut spoken-word album “The Art of Joy” will be released for free on Nov. 4 by Humble Beast record label.
Ms. Hill-Perry’s experience runs counter to pronouncements by gay rights groups that exclaim sexuality as an inherent, immutable characteristic. What’s more, her assertions come amid wide-ranging reports about the psychological dangers of so-called “reparative therapy,” which aims to change the orientation of homosexuals.
But she remains steadfast in her belief that anything is possible with God as she meets criticism — and outright contempt — for speaking out about her experience. And thanks to her nearly 65,000 followers on social media, as well as encouragement from famed Baptist theologian John Piper, Ms. Hill-Perry’s story has been far-reaching.
If no one chooses to be gay why does the gay community condemn and attack some one that changes. This shows sexual orientation is a choice. I support this Rapper and I am glad God gave her the strength to do this

Sexual orientation is not a choice, nor can an individual willingly choose to change it. Research indicates that being gay, lesbian or bisexual is completely normal mental health and a simple variation on human sexuality.If no one chooses to be gay why does the gay community condemn and attack some one that changes.

Sexual orientation is not a polarity, but rather is a continuum. Sexuality is fluid. This doesn't mean that one day I wake up liking guys and the next day girls, but things can change over time. However, this is not true for all people, but it is true for some. (Sexuality is fluid for many people | SocialistWorker.org) (Study: Women's sexuality fluid later in life | The Bilerico Project)
More generally speaking though, sexuality is fluid and cannot be captured in rigid constructs as much as we would like. Even on the Kinsey scale, it is acknowledged that no one is 100% straight or 100% gay.
Well if she can change from liking women to men, certainly you can change from liking women to liking men, right? Isn't it a two way street if your sexuality could be changed so easily? Some of the guys here are pretty awesome, be careful before you develop any crushes.
Gay and/or straight is NOT a choice.
Neither is bi-sexual.

I sympathize with Hill-Perry. There are more than a few 'ex-gay' individuals out there. Usually it signifies that the person is a very damaged individual with a slew of issues. I really do hope her the best, and hope that like others, she'll eventually become more comfortable with herself and become an ex-ex-gay.
Show scientific proof of that. This woman proves you wrong
Shows sexual orientation is a choice
Does she? How do you know this isn't just her putting on a facade to keep Christians happy and buying her product? How do you know she isn't constantly fighting attraction to women?
How did I show that - I am asking you since you are making the claim that it is a choice, if you find ever yourself choosing to be gay sometimes? Since you just said you are not born gay so in your view you are at risk of becoming gay by chance.
I know it's not a choice.
Show proof of that. You ar5e just telling lies to show your hate for Christians and your love for immorality.
You hypocrisy is well seen that is like saying Obama would choose to live in a ghetto
Show scientific proof of that. This woman proves you wrong
Lies? I was asking a question, not asserting a fact. I was asking you how you are so certain. You seem very certain. How do you know she's not lying to you?
I think you just desperately want to convince yourself that being gay is a choice, because you think that somehow justifies your opposition to the rights of homosexuals.
say what?
Again, do you think you could choose to be gay or are you just naturally attracted to women?
So you could be gay, you just chose not to?
But honestly, you could be?

You are making false accusations and now trying to justify it. If you have no proof why slander this person?
The ones who claim sexuality is a choice are always the first to ignore their own choice.
Man, I wish I could choose to be gay. It sounds pretty awesome. Lots of sex, no risk of pregnancy, don't have to deal with women in order to have sex...
I like how the anti-equality crowd always has to make same-sex marriage about them. As if someone else would make the decision to spend their lives with someone purely to spite Christians. Like everyone who does anything Christians don't approve of must be doing it solely to attack Christians. The entire world revolves around them.
I could not choose an immoral lifestyle.
You see? You can't answer the question.
So we'll move on: why does it matter that being gay is a choice?
