Gay Men Are Attracted to Men Because of God’s Judgment and Wounds Like “Father Hunger”

You know, it's not like, "What do you do when you're horny?" If you just start there, you're healing the wound lightly, basically.

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 2026, from Uncloseted Media, cited to the source.

So when I'm counseling someone who is struggling with this and wants out, one of the places I start is with that person's relationship with his father, that person's relationship with his mother, that person's upbringing. "Do you have a healthy relationship with your father? Do you hate your mother?" You know, it's not like, "What do you do when you're horny?" If you just start there, you're healing the wound lightly, basically.
