Absolutely. But why?

Over 80% of homosexuals have either been abused in some way or have had a negative experience with persons of the opposite sex. This is why it is very difficult for me to believe them when they say it's not a lifestyle choice but they were born that way. First you cannot FORCE anyone do do anything they don't want to, that whole "free will" thing. Secondly, you could make life difficult for that person. Ignoring them, not inviting them to family functions, etc. but that only strengthens the bond between homosexuals and breaks down the family bonds. Lastly, you should find a counselor or psychologist that believes that homosexuality is a choice and have your sister confront the issue head on in that she needs to take and accept responsibility for her choice and her deviant behavior. That is the main problem with homosexuals. They know what they are CHOOSING to do but they refuse to take the responsibility for that choice by claiming they were born that way.

You can force a person to hate themselves so much that they can deny who and what they are. But...in reality...how healthy is that?
Would you want your sister to "FORCE" you to be gay? Could you be "forced" to be gay? BEcause I couldn't. Sure, I guess I could pretend to but it's not going to chance that I am heterosexual.
It's the attitudes from family members and other people in society that make them in a "horrible way". When loved - they can thrive.
I didn't choose to be straight. I was born that way. Weren't you?
Please just love your sister and stop trying to change her. It'll only frustrate you both.

Yes, I think it is but its not easy and depends on what you believe about the origins of homosexuality.
Mental/Enviroment/Choice: If that is the case, extreme psychological reprogramming and rewiring can be done to change it.
Genetic: If this is the case its much more difficult. You could use the above psychological reprogramming with the added effect of (for example) programming her to feel physically ill when thinking homosexual thoughts. The more direct route is to write a retrovirus that will systematically rewrite her genetic code. But that would require you to pinpoint the sequence that determined someones sexual orientation.
All of that is a moot point though. You shouldn't try and convince someone that they are someone they are not. What you should be doing is teaching them to embrace their gift in a healthy and proper way.

Your questions ask if you can "force someone" to be straight. Let me put a twist on that, do you think someone can be "forced to be a lesbian?"?
Love your sister for whom she is. We are all individuals. Rather than force her to be how you feel she should be look at yourself and ask yourself, why does this bother me so much?
I suggest you speak to your sister about your feelings, but using force never really resolves anything.
Good Luck.

I don't think you are gonna have any bearing on whether sis is a lesbian or not. It's her life and if she feels compelled to be lesbian then the only thing you can do is pray for her (secretly, of course). What you should do though is just love her for who she is whether she is gay or straight. If you are a Christian, then you know the Bible tells us to love one another and not to judge.

no - sexual choice is likley to be either predetermined by genetics or programmed at a very ealry age into the wiring of the brain
that sadi many adolescents go through a stage of liking their own sex (or both sexes) as their hormones play with their brains and they dont necessarily end up gay!
on the other hand if your sister is gay - support her in her choices - she is still the same person you love!
never judge a person by their sexuality

no, it is not possible to force someone to be straight. Even if they pretend like they are to appease you, they will only be stifling their true feelings. If you really loved your sister you would accept her lifestyle and not be such a jerk.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but the answer is no. you can not force anyone to change their preference. now, i have a couple of things to say to you. is she gay or is she just curious? you have to ask her. if she's already been with a woman and is continuing to do so and is committed to this kind of life style, she's gay. talk to her. listen to her. good luck

Hmmmmm? I wonder? You would think that a woman that's attracted to other women could be attracted to one of those feminine gay men?? Also a gay man could be attracted to one of those butch type lesbians this way no one would have to be gay.
Take her to one of those fancy hair salons and introduce her to one of those ultra gay stylist (male) and see what happens................. Just a theory OH yea get her to wear mens jeans work boots and a flannel shirt and cut her hair short.
