Look, I know homosexuality is genetic, and I know there is nothing wrong with being a homosexual. So please do not be offended by this question.
IF you had a choice whether or not you wanted to be a homosexual, would you choose it? For instance, if they isolated the "gay gene" as they call it, and could alter it so you would be heterosexual, would you get the procedure done?
Assuming, of course, there is zero chance of the procedure failing.

I am lesbian and I am proud of who I am. I would not change it if I could (no, I cannot). I didn't "choose" to be a lesbian - nature chose it for me. I love women and I know that not all women are meant for men. Not all men are meant for women, either. Many people cannot understand this because they've been brainwashed since birth that there's only one way relationships go. These people never knew how wrong they were taught about how life and love works. I know that my wife and I are not meant to be with males. We have the best thing going and neither of us could ever be this happy and compatible with males. We meet each other's needs in every way except being able to create a child together. But that's ok with us - any woman can get a sperm donor. You get the kid and you don't have to have a man around! I admit that life is sometimes hard when you're gay, but life will be hard for everyone, gay or not! There is something to be said for NOT conforming to what some of society wants to see. I think it's better in the long run to have lived your life the way YOU were most comfortable with. I would hate to die knowing I wasted my years unhappy, trying to fit into other people's fantasies of being heterosexual. Nobody has it easy. I am happy as-is and I am stronger and wiser for the wear.

I would probably break down and go with the treatment. I am always afraid of society. I never know if I will be the next target of a hate crime. At the bar, is the person I'm talking to really gay, or just trying to lure me into a trap, so he can eliminate gays? What if that guy at the job thinks you like him? Could he/would he gay bash? What is the Religious Right takes power again? Who is to say that there wouldn't be a campaing to eliminate all gays? The fact of the matter is, we are dispise by many, many groups. Nazis, Christians, Republicans, etc. Granted, I'm the "Worst Case Scenerio" guy, but these are all real possibilities. If they came out with a drug, and it worked like in X3, I would probably go through with it. Does that make me weak?

At this point in my life (I'm 25,) I'm comfortable with who I am, and would not be comfortable with so drastic a change. But had I been offered an option like that at 15, I would have accepted. Likewise, if I had an opportunity to choose the sexuality of my (future) children, I would choose heterosexuality without question. There is something to be said for conformity.

I would stay as I am.
Over the years (many) I have grown in strength to deal with what life has thrown at me and not just the gay issues but being a lesbian has given me plenty of backbone to deal with all issues that I have faced. At my age (61) I have had to deal with some really scary times being in the gay life style so wouldn't trade that strength for any amount of money or drugs.

Nah, why should I? It'd be different if being homosexual was life-threatening. But it doesn't hurt me, or anybody else, it isn't illegal, shouldn't even really put a wrinkle on society-why should I change my sexuality? I think I'm happy the way that I am :)
You could dye your hair from brown to red, but at the roots it's still the same.

Good question, if I may say so.
I guess I would rather be straight than gay, for a number of reasons. Being able to have a partner to have kids with is one of them.
Having said that, I am gay, and happy with that. And I wouldn't change it for anything else. I love my life as it is, and I don't feel any need to change.
My two cents

No and this question doesn't make sense. It's the only lifestyle that brings me happiness. It would be like me asking you IF you could would you want to be gay.....What ever lifestyle would have brought me wholeness as this one has is the lifestyle I would have chosen. If I could really choose something, it would be that more people educate themselves as you have on homosexuality...I am with my soul mate...that's hard to find...

If I could change my hair to natural purple would I do it?
Same type of question.
The question is not an optional - I am what I am- changing it would mean I am not me any more.
I think trying to change what is will be a bigger loss and destroy many good people.
The bigger question is - does anyone have the right to make changes like that ?

At this point, I have spent to much of my life being who I am.IF and that is a very big "if" indeed, they could "cure" or "change" a persons sexuality I would have to decline since I have grown to be very happy being me after years of struggling to come to terms with being me and so many disappointments, such as my own mother disowning me, I have just come to far in life and gone through to much to be anything other then me as I am now.

"I know homosexuality is genetic."
It's not genetic. It's a personal choice.
I'd still choose to be a lesbian!
There are just so many fabulous women to love all over the world!
