He concludes that natural ideals inform an individual’s idea of what constitutes the true self and that there is a need for researchers to conduct more studies to understand this phenomenon comprehensively.  
Knobe begins the article by describing Mark Pierpont’s evangelistic career, which the author says was fuelled by his supporters’ belief that he could cure homosexuality through prayer.

This confession ignited feelings of betrayal among some of his followers, essentially splitting them into two distinct groups. One faction claimed that he was gay because he had gay sexual urges, while the other section defended him, arguing that he was straight due to his refusal to give in to these urges (Knobe).
