You agree that under the right conditions, you could force yourself to stab yourself in the leg, er, I mean have sex with another man, but it would be forced.
Why is it so hard to believe that for gays, it is exactly the same way? A gay man feels an automatic attraction to other men and feels absolutely nothing for women. But under the right conditions, a gay man could abdicate his homosexuality and take up straight sex. But it would be against his nature. |
I could not say for sure whether gay behavior is "hard wired" (i.e. genetic) or learned behavior. I suspect that it varies. Some people may be hard wired gay, while others are more gay through learned behavior. I think that if a person is gay, he has the choice to MAKE HIMSELF straight. I believe that I could make myself gay, if I wanted to. I could make myself a Nazi, a racist against whites, I could make myself enjoy bestiality. I can make myself believe anything I put my mind to.
