HOCD question

Ok so I was recently looking HOCD up online and there are lots of gay people who don't believe HOCD is real . Why would they say that?

Of course they would say that. Because it doesn't fit with what they know to be true about themselves and everyone should just be. Do not go to empty closets etc.

HOCD itself is not a real diagnosis no but it's an extra name for people who are really suffering OCD with that theme. And there are a lot of gay people who have an agenda to push as well as those who are anti-gay. Don't let anyone else convince you of your sexuality as it is yours not anyone here or any one at EC either. What happened for them is their life but it wasn't OCD making them feel that way.
