This is what ILG wrote: "I think homosexuality along with other sexual sins is a bit different though in that it kind of creeps people out because folks don't want to be the object of any kind of wrong thoughts."
She didn't say she was creeped out and the point she was making was that people don't want to be the object of any kind of wrong thoughts coming from another. Meaning, people don't want others to look to them in a sexual manner that is wrong and THAT is why it creeps people out.

You assumed that because I WAS a homosexual that I couldn't counsel someone seeking deliverance from homosexuality for fear that I would be tempted. That is a very presumptous opinion. Let me explain that even when I was a homosexual, I wasn't tempted to give into any sexual desires with every man that crossed my path.

She said nothing personal toward you. However, in this you seem to be forgetting the other potential parties. Perhaps YOU may not be tempted, but ones yet struggling may well be. I agree with ILG's words of caution. There's no need to counsel if one is free and completely healed of a matter, is there? Otherwise, there is the difficulty of a potential problem by privately counseling with one of the same sex- whether it is homosexuality or adultery.
You've read things into her posts which were not spoken by her.
