We all do know why do people become gay, it's because of the hormone in our body.
If someone wanna become straight, why not try hormone injection?

Since there is no M.D. or P.H.D. after you're name I'll assume you pulled this "knowledge" out of thin air.

Try reading a book or two before stating that "We all Know".

There has been no conclusive correlation between Hormones and Homosexuality, meaning hormones would only be useful for the folks in the transgendered community who actually need them.

It's more complicated than a hormonal inbalance.
You're defined to be gay because of a hormonal inbalance, after that, it can't be changed.
The hormonal inbalance occurs as a fetus in the womb...It's not really an inbalance, as the way your hormones are distributed is in your genes. Anyway, the hormones are released at certain times to define how masculine you are, if you do certain sex-typical behavior, etc. These define the base on which you act. Well, part of defining all of this is putting information in your brain which sets up who you like, scientists have pinpointed exactly where in the brain it is, as well.
Anyway, that's why they can't, because it's totally programmed in there and they can't change it. They have been able to make gay sheep sexually (emphasis on that) attracted to female sheep with injections, but it wears off and has terrible side-effects...plus, they still like male sheep.
Also, the democrats and liberals don't really think gays are bad to try to do this, only the republicans and conservatives (yes, I know, there are exceptions, I'm just singling out groups, people) do and want to stop it. Though, they're always fighting for fetus and people rights against testing and such, so they couldn't even promote that research. XD

Hormone's effect the physical aspects of the body. A gay persons attraction for the same sex is more than just a physical attraction, there is a very large mental aspect. Doctors have attempted to change this mental aspect using various technics over the years and NONE have proven effective.

There is NO reason to change someone from being gay. That is how they are, how they are wired and it makes them happy. With all the sad and depressed people in the world why do we feel that we need to fix the happy people?

First off your PRESUMPTION that homosexuality has anything to do with hormones is a bit off.

Just injecting someone with more male or female hormones won't change who they're sexually attracted to. It doesn't work like that.

If you inject a gay man with testosterone it will only prove to make him loose the hair on his head faster, make his voice drop lower, make him more agressive and possibly violent. It won't change anything about his sexual orientation.

If you inject a lesbian (which actually many of us take birth control pills...but not as a contraseption...but for other reasons...anyway) it will only make her gain weight around the mid-section, have more mood swings, crave chocolate, possibly regulate her period, make her breasts tender/sensitive and eventually be at risk for several forms of cancer!

Nope, still won't change her sexual orientation either.

Hormones have nothing to do with it. If anything, homosexual men show slightly higher levels of testosterone than straight men but not enough to be significant.

Hormone injections will not change a sexual orientation, that is something you are born with.

Nothing in life can change anyone with a simple injection or body chemistry. You are born gay or straight, and that cannot change.

One's sexual orientation has nothing to do with one's hormone levels. That's why a hormone injection wouldn't work.

There is some suggestion that hormone levels in the pregnant mother can affect the unborn child's handedness and eventual sexual orientation however.

No, male or female brain pattern (Sexual attraction) are made during pregnancy. And you're born with this brain pattern. Lately scientists have found that gay men's brains, concerning sexual attraction, among other things, resemble the brains of straight women, and that lesbian women have brains similar to straightt men, whereas bisexual people have brains with characters of both. So you can change one's sexual orientation by removing his/her brain and planting a new one (Which is, of course, impossible). hormones has nothing to do with this.

a small percentage of biological males who have taken female hormones and had a sex change will indeed undergo changes in sexual orientation, but it is very rare..

sexual orientation is generally uncontrolable.. kind of like how people determine whether they are left or right handed.. it's not really a choice, it's just something that happens naturally..

First off it's not hormones that make us gay.....read much??

It's genetics that makes a person who they are, not hormones. Hormones are what make you horny among other things LOL,seriously though, they kick in during puberty to complete the final phase of growing up into manhood or womanhood, whichever sex you happen to be. They have zero effect on sexual identity.

Please, do yourself a favour, read up on this subject before making such wildly inaccurate statements......it makes you look silly........Silly.
