Would you want to get medical help and seek a cure if your sexual orientation was influenced by chemicals?

Question

Modern research seems to indicate that sexual orientation can be proven to be influenced by variables other than choice and this gives future justification and validation for equal civil rights and freedom from demonization of part of our culture. However, on the otherhand, If, as some growing research indicates you came to find that your sexual orientation was to a greater or lesser degree determined by unnatural chemicals and not part of random evolutionary genetics, as would be the case for others now and in the past, would you seek more information? Would you seek medical advice? Would you open your mind to the new discoveries of science or stay in the social status quo of your community because it was comfortable?

Answer 2

At one point in time, I would have leaped towards such a 'cure.' But now, because I have come to accept who and what I am and learned to deal with it... I see altering it as being akin to suicide. It would essentially just be killing me and replacing me with someone else.

And I'd need a hell of a better reason than 'social conformity' to opt for that.
