Gay people are born gay. Some day they will find the gay gene.

You like what you like. If you are gay, you can't simply wake up one day and go "I'm sick of being ridiculed for being gay. Therefore I'm straight now." Honestly, nobody wants to be gay, just like nobody wanted to be black prior to the civil rights movement.

But maybe you're referring to a gay acting straight? If that's the case, it's possible, but a very difficult life. Just look at NJ former governer Jim McGreevy.

People who truly are gay are born that way...there's no choice involved. Ask any gay person you know when they realized they were or might be gay for the first time in their lives and they'll tell you it goes back to childhood albeit not recognized at that time. In some it doesn't manifest until puberty but most knew it long before.

If gay people could change the fact they are gay they surely would because of the treatment they get from the stright world. Who would raise their hand in class and say they wish to be gay? No one in their right mind would suffer the treatment the straight world foists upon us and be OK with it.

NO once a guy has a dick shoved somewhere it doesn't belong, willingly, they are forever gay as Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter if you fuck a girl afterwords or not cuz there is no such thing as bi it is all GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"so straights can turn their sexuality to liking the same sex, but does the opposite make sense, from a gay turning straight?"

This isn't actually accurate, and the entire premise of this debate is a little off.

Human sexuality is not black or white, it's like an upside-down bell curve, with straight people somewhere on one side of the curve, and gay people somewhere on the other side,

and all kinds of people somewhere in the middle.

So this idea that you've seen "straight" people turn "gay" is not really possible.

In all likelihood there are a few things that may have happened if it is a legitimate case of "turning gay"

1. They were always gay, but had repressed it because of social norms, or they were somewhere toward the center of the curve I described and have always had legitimate attractions to both sexes, but realized one more than the other recently.

2. People's sexual preference develops during puberty and even after, ie, before puberty we are often attracted in some form to A-sexual people, male or female, me for example, I liked Penny from Inspector Gadget, I thought she was hot. Now I see if you take away the pigtails and voice she could have been a dude. I wasn't gay, I was just not sexually developed. Some who are not sexually developed may have an attraction to the A-sexual characteristics of one sex as a child, to realize as they develop that they are attracted to feminine or masculine characteristics which may or may not coincide with what they liked previously.

3. They really are very close to the center of that curve and really could go either way, and something in their life, separate from their born-in sexual preference, caused them to like one or the other more, which may seem like "going gay" or "going straight" but really inside they were always bi-sexual.

4. Abuse by 1 particular sex in childhood, and to some extent adulthood even, can have all sorts of effects on one's sexuality. Sometimes this means seeking out that abusive behavior in some form as an adult, sometimes it means inflicting the abuse they suffered on others, and sometimes it causes one to seek out relationships with those of the sex who did not inflict this abuse. But this is not "who they are" it's a result of something outside of them and is quite sad really.

Whatever the case, the facts seem to be according to everything science has found, that people are born with a sexual preference, whether gay, straight, or somewhere in the middle. Most are definitely straight, a few are definitely gay, and even fewer can truly go either way. But one cannot simply "change their mind." Whether we're gay or straight is developed likely in the womb, and seated deep deep deep in our psyche and influences everything we do. Anyone who tries to change this about them self I'm afraid is in for a long and miserable life.

If a person is Gay, he is born that way. A person's sexual orientation cannot be changed.

The fact of the matter is that they should not have to go straight. Also, why force someone who is actually gay to be unhappy married to a woman or alone. Forcing someone to go straight is stupid.
