No, I would not take the pill if it existed. Taking that pill would mean losing the person I love because other people I've never met don't agree with our relationship. The OP said that he feels homosexuals are trying to force heterosexuals to become homosexual and this makes him uneasy...how would this de-gay-ifying pill be any better? It's only wrong when the change is meant to be from straight to gay?
You also mentioned that homosexuality was a result of a problem with the womb...would that then mean that, if I'm a lesiban, my younger brother and sister must also be homosexual? (I'm reasonably positive they're not
) Or, if that isn't close enough, what of twins that result from the same embryo? Countless studies have been done to try to determine what causes a person to become homosexual through the study of identical twins when one twin is heterosexual and one homosexual, but so far the cause still hasn't been found.
Heck I have a lesbian friend who is open and stayed in a sexual relationship with a guy for over a year.
While I have yet to hear from a hetero that they have every had sex with a homosexual. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it would seem to be a rarity. Even some of the straight, pro gay posters in this thread wont admit to ever having homosexual sex.
So the guy your friend slept with was homo- or heterosexual? If he was heterosexual, you now know someone who has slept with a homosexual for over a year. Or was your point that you don't know a heterosexual who has slept with a homosexual of the same sex? I would think that was less common, however I'd like to offer a suggestion as to why some homosexuals try heterosexual relationships...
Homosexuality is, as has already been stated, less accepted in the wider community that heterosexuality. You'd probably find that many who can now comfortably call themselves homosexual struggled to do so to begin with because of the stigma and hate that is attached to the label. To many, homosexuals are paedophiles, rapists or 'horny' men and women who only want sex. To many, homosexuals are people who should be attacked simply because of their orientation. To many, we are sub-human. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some try to avoid sticking themselves with a label that might attract such attention. Everyone goes through periods of self-questioning, doubting and searching. Some sleep with people of the same sex, some with people of the opposite sex, some travel the world, some get pets, some volunteer for charities..we all spent time figuring out who we are. It's never quite so clear cut as 'he slept with her so he must be straight'.
