Former ex-gay therapy researcher now says 'being a homosexual is something that cannot be changed'

Think Progress supports those who want to change their gender, but won't support people who want to change their sexual orientation.  

Think Progress:

"Last month, Dr. Robert Spitzer, the psychologist who helped declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder, disavowed a study he published just a decade ago suggesting that ex-gay therapy could be effective. 

If people can recognize that being a homosexual is something that cannot be changed and that efforts to change are going to be disappointing and can be harmful, if that can be more widely known that would be very good. If somebody is troubled that they are homosexual, what they ought to do is face up to that and so [sic] something so they are more comfortable living with the way they are, because any attempt to change is misguided."

What liberals are saying is that you can change your mind about homosexuality, and you can even change your sex, but no matter what you do, you cannot change your sexual orientation.

Where is the scientific data that shows changing gender is easier to change than your sexual appetite?
