It doesn't matter how much we might WANT to be straight, gay folks were born this way, and our sexuality is fixed. That is an unfair question you asked, since it is not possible to truly change.
@Kayamaniac Well, you can't truly change your sexual orientation. So I believe it is a moot point, don't you? And I believe I did listen to the video. And maybe you should learn some manners. What a rude remark!
Some good points made, really made me think: but yes, I still would take the straight pill, it just makes for a lot less problems in life. Gays get all the usual problems in life, then the gay thing on top of that!
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO CHANCE, NOT EVER! I LOVE being gay! It's the only reason I'm happy and in love right now. It's part of who I am, not just my sexuality. :) x
When I was younger I would have taken the pill. I wouldn't today. I have come a long way and have learned to accept and love myself today more than I did when I was younger. It was a process. I also strive as much as possible to spend time with those who accept and love me as a friend and try to stay away from narrow minded people who like to judge others. I'm more concerned with character than sexual orientation. That's something I can choose and that's what makes a better person.
@first i thought u were mexican lol cuz of ur voice but then i was like wait no it sounds british. then i read the comments and i was like OH! it's aussie.
I used to feel ashamed that I had same sex thoughts and such, but that was because i was brought up christian. I don't believe i was born gay, bi or pansexual and I guess it was a choice, but I was so young I didn't know better (younger than anyone probably should even have straight sex). The rest of my life I felt like I was cheated, but now I love my sexuality and I don't look back on what happened and regret anything. I think the human body is beautiful in any form and trannys need love too!
"Gay" is a term used for homosexuality so for me the question becomes would you 'choose" the right things if you could? The answer is yes, I have, and yes, it's a better more fufilling life ☺ Much love n respect!
I dont dislike being gay, but I dislike what I have become as a result of.I would like to coexist with the larger population of the world (heterosexual). I'm tired of my masculinity being questioned. If the opportunity where there to increase my quality of life I would take it.

I don't feel there is such a thing as an ex gay. You either never were gay and experimented or you deceived yourself intgo thinking you were gay.Gay is simply same sex attraction, nothing more. The way people present themselves to act on the idea of being gay causes the confusion.
Dear ExplorationB I am bisexual and I catch hell from gay and straight people they make fun of me and say I'm "confused", "greedy", or a "horn dog" and idk what to do one kid that usually sits at the opposite end of my lunch table told me he would beat me up if I did not "pick a side"
No no no no no no!!!!! I would never become straight it's just not me I don't care about haters or anyone who wants to discriminate aginst me (no offense ladies you are awesome (love you)) i just like penis :D
Ewwwww. No straightness. Well i'd date more but i always choose men who like me emotionally but are uninterested sexually, so yea for no sex. I'd probably be meaner i guess, because i've had some really great lesbian influences in my childhood, and i guess i'd be less of a fabulous dresser because i'd try to impress boys? Now if i could change over to a boy, that would be a major change.
i'm a straight guy & i think gay's like you are cool, you keep your masculinity, i don't get why, if gay's are attracted to the masculinity of males, why do they and other gay's act feminine? it doesn't make any sense, if you like the feminist personality why not just be straight and date a girl?
@ihave1dollars penis. Same with lesbians who act really butch, they want a lack of penis and probably a little more softness. Personally for me having something stuck inside me is a horrifying idea and looking at one is pretty gross. Like how some gay guys say a vagina kinda looks like a soggy ham sandwich. It's just something you can't compromise on.
well if i were gay.. my life would probably be the same... i still try to persuade people to respect gay people.. well at least the ones who hate :P i wouldnt be any diffrent apart from the attraction for men . but for real.. just because i naturally have it i cant find myself liking men... because im straight but if i were gay, i wouldnt change my lifestyle because im gay, i would because i would want to .. :)
I'm bisexual, so i win XD nah... just joking >.> I am bi tho, but let's say i was only straight. (damnit this will be hard)
I would... not know so many great people in my life...
I would... I don't know... I don't wanna turn straight... Most straight ppl are way too ignorant to care even about humanity. :| They think they are the "truth" and... anyone else different is a "lie".
@ExplorationB Agreed, think i was just... exagerating. There are indeed straight ppl in my life who are friends, but when i look upon the others... i start to lose my faith. Tho my best friends aren't the straight ones...
Nope, wouldn't turn straight. Our experiences make us who we are. To do that would be to basically say that you don't like who you are or who you are becoming and want to be someone else. Plus, I would lose the love of my life, and ain't nothing worth that.
Personaly i wouldnt but if someone wants to then they should if they think it would make them happier and dude great vid this is the first one i have watched but dude seriously it is apart of who i am and it is apart of who they are and it helps shape who we are and that is something that should be thought bout
Personally, I feel that my sexuality is one of the many unique things about me. The concept of taking a pill to change who I am is just stating that I don't like who I am. I believe God can change someone if he wanted to, but he doesn't usually do that. He can also stop our hearts from beating, so I find that when I feel like God doesn't care or wants me to be someone else I just stop feel my heart beat, and I know God loves me just the way I am.
I am not really sure, but I think sexuality is fluid and I was a lot more straight in the past than I am now. I think. Maybe. Or maybe I was living in some serious denial. But if I stopped being bisexual and went back to being straight, it would be just as the same as now, minus the erotic dreams about women and trying to sleep with my female friends I have crushes on :D (I have only dated men). I'd rather still be bisexual, so androgyny would not suddenly become complicated. (:
a bit random, i don't think anyone would change their sexual orientation if they could, because of the fact that that's their sexual orientation/they couldn't realistically contemplate being of the opposite. And because you like what you like, it seems a little bit strange want to not like something that you do. Unless of course you view your sexual orientation to be damaging because of influences such as religious backgrounds or whatever.
For example, why would you change from straight to gay?
Of course this doesn't mean i will stop fighting for my gay friends rights, but I don't want to suffer anything they suffer if I don't have to. I have to say though I can't know for sure since i'm not gay and my opinion may completely be different had i been gay. If i was in a loving relationship with a guy as a gay guy though i wouldn't choose to be ex gay cuz that's just cruel on them, so its probably something i'd feel if i was living in misery. I hope that makes sense? heh
to be honest i'm not a gay guy but if i was, i probably would choose to be ex-gay. this isn't because I find anything wrong with it I have tons of gay friends but its more so the fact that in all reality, life would definitely get alot easier for me in many more ways than one, but that would primarily because i know how my family and environment would react to me. I live in a very homophobic environment.
You're doing the dishes??? OMG...You're sooooooooo gay!! hahahahahahaha LOL. But on a serious note : I would definitly NOT choose to be an ex-gay. My life is good as it is and I'm even thinking that I would want to be an ex Heterosexual :-) I was never disciminated against. Family , friends everybody around me are dealing with me as a human being and my BFF is my own faghag! So hey...I got no reason to be straight! Thanx for the vid...you're looking fab as ever!!!
If i could have had the choice to be straight a few months ago before i came out, i would have given an arm and a leg to take it. but now that im out and that i know who my true friends are, i like who i am (but im bisexual, which can be much easier emotionally than being completely gay).
I personally am 100% happy with myself as a gay guy, I don't think I would take the pill personally. Being attracted to the same sex, and thus discriminated against, I have learned to have more compassion and understanding in everyday life. It also is a driving force that keeps me motivated day after day to persue my goal of med school.
No, because I don't get on with girls 99% of the time, I'm glad I'm gay, easier for me to get everything I want in one person.
plus I'd feel pretty pathetic and conformist taking a pill changing myself for homophobes giving them a "he took it so there must be something wrong with it" excuse for their hate
Here's a quote I think is fitting to adress your question. It was written by Simone de Beauvoir, bless her soul:
"In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality; the idea should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint or obligation."
My father once told me that his professor asked black students if they would take a pill to become white and most of them said yes. I'm sure the vast majority would disagree nowadays. It simply is a symptom of our time. When I was younger, I tried to be nice to as many people as possible so that when I would come out, people would still accept me. While I would like to be straight sometimes, I just have to remember that I've become, in all humility, a damn good person in part because I'm gay.
I'm exceptionally talented designer, I designed all my life. Design is my passion. But I'm gay as well. I prayed to God that I'm ready to exchange my exceptional talent anytime to being straight.
I hate being gay. I really affects your esteem blah blah. I've always been a loner all my life that sucks.
In the end, we own nothing other than ourselves and if anyone was given a choice to go back and eliminate a major part of their lives, that person would be replaced and cease to exist; it would be as if they never lived. When you deny yourself, that final resource, nothing remains.
No. I wouldn't take it nowadays because my preference leans more towards what I'm used to: I enjoy it. Certainly not for when I was younger. The plethora of hardships I endured because of it when I was younger played a significant role in my own development as a person.
Jesus, gives you freedom, not restraints. You have stated yourself, there is no cure for homosexuality. Therefore, you have just restained yourself. I am not a bible toting preacher. I am here to tell you I am happy being an ex gay. God gave me the challenge of same sex attraction, how I deal with it is my choice. With God there are no boundaries, only the ones we place on ourselves. I am not judging anyone, I have no right too. Just stating the facts.
Forcing anyone into something he does not want to do is like placing a square peg in round hole. First of all, if you think ex gay works every single time the first time. Your wrong, because just like being a good athlete, you need to keep it up, or even if you try to diet, you need to keep it up. This issue should never be taken lightly. However, you need to look at all facts. Check out Dr. Spitzers study. He was critizied for it, even though he got homosexuality off the APA!
I find it amazing that no one questions the studies and scientific research of the gay and lesbian community. All the research is exclusively done within the gay and lesbian community. NONE are outside resources. If there was a company that took that on, they would be commiting corporate suicide because they would have to be positive toward the gay and lesbian community. I guess with biased information The "truth" really does win out? It is easy to get a point across when all info is yours.
Would I? If it didn't mean having my balls tampered with lol, then yes. I would most CERTAINLY without even another thought turn myself straight.
I don't want to live a life of fear from other people, judgement constantly. I'd also love to have a family.
Not to mention how easier it would be considering I'm still not out of the closet at the age of bloody 21! Won't be for a long time yet. Being gay is just an annoyance.
I disagree though with all respect. If a straight man could turn gay later in his life, why wouldn't a gay man realized he's actually straight later? Logical isn't it?
Being a gay person, there are days where i feel less gay, and there are days more gay. Which only indicates one fact, gayness can fluctuate, hence theoretically speaking within all the right circumstances it "can" be eradicated. I don't know that's just my personal theory.
How many cases are there, of a guy being "gay" and then turning "straight" later in life?
The reality is that a lot of men and women hide their sexuality or deny themselves their sexuality, and later in life just let go of their inhibitions and take to their inner inhibitions and sexuality.
@impulsive2urge are you familiar with the kinsey scale? in short, gives a number to degrees of sexuality. There isn't just, 'Straight, Gay, and Bi' theres varying degrees of each.
While the majority of it is determined by hormones in the fetal stage, environment can play a SMALL role. so i agree, somewhat, with your theory.
@Jynx215 Yeah, what I mean is I can be dominantly straight. Environment plays a BIG role for me. Let's try to make homosexuality a talent, If you have this talent when you were born and were not able to develop it as you grow, tendency is you become a dominantly straight adult. Vice versa.
@Jynx215 Sexuality isn't a scale. that's an artificial construct that Kinsey used. If you lined up one hundred guys with the same 'scale' number they'd all have a different sexuality (like different things in another person).
@ExplorationB the cure is finding what God requires and learning how to follow his commmand. I said, "require." No one is perfect so with bible principles the blows will feel less painful.
1. Have a more open relationship with family and friends
2. Hold less fear on peoples opinion on me and my art
3. have less of a need to appreciate equality
I wouldn't want to be straight, right now in my life I am hiding it from some people, but some I do tell. Although it might make my life a bit easier, I don't think I'd like the changes if the person I am now could see the "straight" me. Honestly, right now I don't really see any person in a sexual way, better than taking a "straight fix".
Growing up i would have killed to of been "cured". But now that im older (23) I wouldnt. Im the person i am today because of how I grew up. Everyone gets along with me. I can make anyone smile. Im a stronger person because of it. I just wish I could find a bf already ugh. Stupid small city with small gay population lol.
Good vid Dan!! Myself, I am happy with the way I am ;-) Wouldn't wanna be straight.
At times it's tough being gay (especially when your family turn on you and someone poisons your dog) - but I wouldn't be me and wouldn't have the awesome and loving people that I have in my life. And girl sex, hahahaha.... NO!!!
Three things that would different if I were straight? I'd have less money, less sex and more responsibility. No, I wouldn't take a pill to be straight. Beside that, our world is over populated and being gay and not creating kids is a natural way to ensure future generations have enough resources to sustain itself. -Steven-
Well, I think that process gives "us" an extra experience and self-awareness... we learn in that process more about ourselves, and maybe about "live"... Well, just a "theory" :D
I have a "theory" that gays have to go through a process of self-acceptance that straights don't even have to think about (Am I straight? Why do I like girls? Will my parents, family and friends accept that I like girls?, People use 'straight' to insult and offend, People look at me in a strange way when I kiss my girlfriend in the street or when we hold hands, Will I have problems at work if I say I'm straight?, In some places they kill people for being straight, well, and a long etc!).
It's me, it's how I am... would I like to be blond or have blue eyes, or thinner, or sing beautifully, or change the colour or my skin? Well, yes, things like that would make some things easier in some situations... but then I wouldn't be me, right?
It would be nice thought to try it for a while! Only to have the experience and know what it is to be "normal" (as in average) and to be attracted to women! :D
I did paused during the video and thought about what would be different if I were straight now... I don't know how my life would be as straight... or even if I were born again as a gay... but (1) I'd probably have a girlfriend or a wife instead of a boyfriend (not married... at least yet!), maybe with a child... (2) I'd show more (and more easily) affection towards my couple in public, and (3) I'd talk more about my personal life to acquaintances.
However... would then things be better for me, would I be more happy now, etc.? No idea, who knows?! There are lots of unhappy straights and lots of happy gays, so... I don't think that being straight would necessarily mean being happy/happier.
I think it's really "tempting" to take that hypothetical pill and turn straight... things would IN GENERAL be much easier.
However, it would change all my life as it is now (and as it's been till now)... would I like that? to change that important part of myself all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye??? Nope. One different thing would be a pill to go back and be born as a straight. THAT would be tempting!
It's kind of a "typical question" but it's nonetheless a good question or topic. And I think it deserves more than a 500 characters answer... so I'll post several comments...
Being gay has brought me so much in life I would never change it, I wouldn't like to be someone else.
Growing up gay has definitely had a positive inpact on my life.
The only good thing about being straight is that the person I love would have a womb so I wouldn't have to deal with annoying fucking social workers to have a baby.
On the flip side of that it would mean another kid already in the world without a home :(
I think you're really cute... a year ago i prolly wouldve taken the pill lol but now ....? I love guys lol i have become so comfortable with my sexuality now that i don't care what people think or my family. thanks for making me think!!!
1) 1:10-1:13 LOL. 2) What about the question: if you were straight, would you take a gay pill? Answer: fuck yes. 1 out of 100,000,000 women are sane and likable. Aside from the vagina, they're just the essence of a problem manifested in human form. I'm straight so I can't for the life of me understand what's appealing about men, but damn... relationships must be so much better between two of the same sex.
Nope. Wouldn't change me for the world. I'm happy with how I've grown as a gay man and I love my friends that stood by me the entire time and wouldn't give it up for anything.
I find it funny that someone would argue about how being gay isn't a choice but if said person could turn straight they would take the option. To me that just shows bad character.
I just couldn't imagine wanting to change such a significant factor in what has been the determining factor in how i've grown up.
Yeah I agree. I don't think I would be the same person if I didn't have the experience of being the underdog or the compassion for the wide array of people I know now and care for.
I would SO take the pill. All I'd have to know is that the pill to turn me back gay again would work quickly once I'd had enough.
I want to know-
What it feels like to find women sexy.
What it feels like to be a straight guy.
If I'd feel less like singing and dancing.
Thinking about it, I'd want to know that there weren't any icky chemicals in the pills, and that they weren't made by some nasty rich exploiting drug co. Only natural extracts from the renewable bark of some un-endangered tree.
That is also an interesting question. My friends and I when we were about 10 used to wish we could do a magic spell to make us not white. I wanted to be Italian and my other friend wanted to be black.
I'm gay... and I would never take a pill or whatever to change who I am. Sexuality is innate... as a spiritual person, I wouldn't change who I am, I'm in love right now, and I wouldn't change who I was created to be or forsake love, heart the person I love or deny my love... this would cause emotional pain for myself and others, I'm guessing this pill is not an anti-guilt pill too, and I would feel guilty that I set out to cause my family pain.
Nope, because I think that being Gay is a precious gift, as our ancestors believed. Gay males were believed to be natural-born Shamans, and were greatly revered! Besides, I have a MUCH easier time getting laid than my str8 brother, so why would I want to give THAT up, 'eh? :oP BTW, the whole "it's a choice" thing, *I* think, probably actually means that one can choose NOT to have sex with members of one's own gender (ie. celibacy). But, I'm just trying to rationalize their claim. *shrugs*
"better" living through chemicals? there's prolly tons of bad str8 acting side affects. whatever i am, im happy to accept it & live with it. gays are way more fab anyways. 1 LIFE
Well, I'm "only" bi, but I feel like I have to write a comment about homosexuality. If I was gay, I'd probably be "tempted" to be straight, as it (as you said) would make my life easier. But I doubt that it would make my life better.
If I could take a pill to become straight - I wouldn't 'cause I can't imagine myself that way and never could, but if I could be reborn as a straight female I would do it without a second though - I'm not transgender or anything, but I was kinda always the more feminine one in a relationship and gay man don't really get that - they like the same thing that I do - masculine (almost straight-acting).
So no... I wouldn't want to "cure" myself from homosexuality.
Terrific question. If you ask me if I would chose to become straight when I was 17, I would have jumped at it in a second. If you ask me the same thing today, I wouldn't change my sexuality for anything. I look back and realize because for the fact I'm gay that I made some of the most incredible friends and had some incredible experiences. My life has been a awesome ride so far and I love every minute of it.
This question reminds me of a great documentary I watched called Sound and Fury. You should check it out. Now for the "if I were straight" exercise: 1. My life would have a lot less colorful characters in it. 2. I probably wouldn't live in Los Angeles but in a smaller town. 3. I probably wouldn't get laid as much. Haha.
2) The pool of "fish" becomes larger, given that most people are straight
3) My Youtube subscriptions would probably change--LOL
Only item 1) is something I could potentially control now, but it's a tough one. 2) is somewhat in my control now as I could move to a larger urban area, but GLBT people living in rural areas definitely have extra hurdles.
BUT..here is another question!! How would you like to be a beautiful blonde 25 year old female with LARGE breasts in a bar filled with super hot straight football players for one night?
1.) I wouldn't have gone through the horrible depression I did when I was younger that caused me to drop out of college the first time.
2.) I'd probably have gotten some skank pregnant by now.
3.) I would probably be the opposite person I am now. Close-minded and religious and intollerant and hateful of gays. Basically, I'd be how I was raised to be. I'd never have to think for myself.
However, I do not want kids, so that is not an issue. I'm happy with what's going on in my life, in spite of all the rough spots I'm going through right now. I've got an amazing boyfriend (8 months now woo woo!!!) and we've got a great thing going on. But thank you for getting me thinking :)
1. I would be able to live my life freely, to all my family and friends without the worry of that kind of acceptance.
2. I could have a chance at the children I've always wanted, without the need of a serrogate.
3. I would ulimately feel like I was a fraud. I would be haunted by the fact that, by my actions in "becoming" straight, I said that there was something wrong with being gay! But there isn't! I have to say that in my head a million times and I have to believe that there isn't!
I wouldn't want to be straight. I enjoy being attracted to guys -- it's natural to me. I've always had the idea that my life can be just the same as if I was straight. I can have a spouse, house, nice job, kids perhaps. I can have all those things. I have no reason to turn straight.
well i am a christian, so being around my parents when they talk about girls and relationships wont be so awkward. PLUS going to straight clubs with my bro wouldnt be daunting to me. And I would be able to relate to my bros a lot more. And I wouldnt have to have a serious conflicts with the bible. (Although I am an open minded christian) ^_^ btw exploration, you are sexy as always! *sweat drips from forehead* Anyways i wouldnt take a drug... would hinder me from who i am! i wouldnt be me!
I would choose to stay the way I am, gay. I couldn't even come up with one thing that would change if I was straight. By the way that wife beater shirt is hot ha ha ha.
That is a hard choice, I am the person I am becaues I'm gay. Hmmm I can't decide its too complicated. The only reason I would consider is my life might be a bit easier coming from a mormon family.
No. Hell no. I am who I am, who I know I am. I wouldn't change myself because I like who I am. And it makes me, me.
Myself would probably still be the same if I were straight. Cept I'd be into chicks. I don't know how my personality would be different if I were straight, but I'd think that I'd be pretty much the same ol' shy guy that I am.
I'd still want kids, but It'd be easier to have them if I were straight.
I haven't really faced any discrimination personally. Though I'm -continue-
It doesn't matter how much we might WANT to be straight, gay folks were born this way, and our sexuality is fixed. That is an unfair question you asked, since it is not possible to truly change.

When I was younger I would have taken the pill. I wouldn't today. I have come a long way and have learned to accept and love myself today more than I did when I was younger. It was a process. I also strive as much as possible to spend time with those who accept and love me as a friend and try to stay away from narrow minded people who like to judge others. I'm more concerned with character than sexual orientation. That's something I can choose and that's what makes a better person.

If given the opportunity, I would not choose to straight (not that I chose to be gay).
1) I wouldn't have met all of the wonderful people that I have being gay.
2) I wouldn't be as aware of human civil rights or knowledge of specific political views and/or general sympathy.
3) A huge part of me would be taken away and part of my uniqueness would be shattered.
I like being unique and standing out in a crowd. Not for attention, but to feel like I'm not copying someone else.

A few things:
First, I don't want to be straight.
Now for your pause challenge:
1. Instead of getting picked on for being gay, I'd be picked on for being effeminate.
2. I probably wouldn't have an erotic obsession with Neil Patrick Harris and Simon Baker.
3. My hair wouldn't look this good ;)
TheMetalGuitar123 1 year ago
I definately would not want to be straight
1)I probably would have been either very awkward and quiet or very douchie and loud mouthed.
2)I wouldn't have been so intelligent and educated since I would be out with friends alot and they aren't the brightest.
3)I would not have a real life story to face since my life is pretty boring if you take out the struggles of being gay AND black.
I'm happy the way God made me :) I'm Bahamian btw.

Ewwwww. No straightness. Well i'd date more but i always choose men who like me emotionally but are uninterested sexually, so yea for no sex. I'd probably be meaner i guess, because i've had some really great lesbian influences in my childhood, and i guess i'd be less of a fabulous dresser because i'd try to impress boys? Now if i could change over to a boy, that would be a major change.

@ihave1dollars penis. Same with lesbians who act really butch, they want a lack of penis and probably a little more softness. Personally for me having something stuck inside me is a horrifying idea and looking at one is pretty gross. Like how some gay guys say a vagina kinda looks like a soggy ham sandwich. It's just something you can't compromise on.

Personally, I feel that my sexuality is one of the many unique things about me. The concept of taking a pill to change who I am is just stating that I don't like who I am. I believe God can change someone if he wanted to, but he doesn't usually do that. He can also stop our hearts from beating, so I find that when I feel like God doesn't care or wants me to be someone else I just stop feel my heart beat, and I know God loves me just the way I am.

I am not really sure, but I think sexuality is fluid and I was a lot more straight in the past than I am now. I think. Maybe. Or maybe I was living in some serious denial. But if I stopped being bisexual and went back to being straight, it would be just as the same as now, minus the erotic dreams about women and trying to sleep with my female friends I have crushes on :D (I have only dated men). I'd rather still be bisexual, so androgyny would not suddenly become complicated. (:
illiezeulette 1 year ago
a bit random, i don't think anyone would change their sexual orientation if they could, because of the fact that that's their sexual orientation/they couldn't realistically contemplate being of the opposite. And because you like what you like, it seems a little bit strange want to not like something that you do. Unless of course you view your sexual orientation to be damaging because of influences such as religious backgrounds or whatever.
For example, why would you change from straight to gay?

Of course this doesn't mean i will stop fighting for my gay friends rights, but I don't want to suffer anything they suffer if I don't have to. I have to say though I can't know for sure since i'm not gay and my opinion may completely be different had i been gay. If i was in a loving relationship with a guy as a gay guy though i wouldn't choose to be ex gay cuz that's just cruel on them, so its probably something i'd feel if i was living in misery. I hope that makes sense? heh

to be honest i'm not a gay guy but if i was, i probably would choose to be ex-gay. this isn't because I find anything wrong with it I have tons of gay friends but its more so the fact that in all reality, life would definitely get alot easier for me in many more ways than one, but that would primarily because i know how my family and environment would react to me.

I personally am 100% happy with myself as a gay guy, I don't think I would take the pill personally. Being attracted to the same sex, and thus discriminated against, I have learned to have more compassion and understanding in everyday life. It also is a driving force that keeps me motivated day after day to persue my goal of med school.

Here's a quote I think is fitting to adress your question. It was written by Simone de Beauvoir, bless her soul:
"In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality; the idea should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint or obligation."
davidivivid 1 year ago
My father once told me that his professor asked black students if they would take a pill to become white and most of them said yes. I'm sure the vast majority would disagree nowadays. It simply is a symptom of our time. When I was younger, I tried to be nice to as many people as possible so that when I would come out, people would still accept me. While I would like to be straight sometimes, I just have to remember that I've become, in all humility, a damn good person in part because I'm gay.

In the end, we own nothing other than ourselves and if anyone was given a choice to go back and eliminate a major part of their lives, that person would be replaced and cease to exist; it would be as if they never lived. When you deny yourself, that final resource, nothing remains.

No. I wouldn't take it nowadays because my preference leans more towards what I'm used to: I enjoy it. Certainly not for when I was younger. The plethora of hardships I endured because of it when I was younger played a significant role in my own development as a person.

Jesus, gives you freedom, not restraints. You have stated yourself, there is no cure for homosexuality. Therefore, you have just restained yourself. I am not a bible toting preacher. I am here to tell you I am happy being an ex gay. God gave me the challenge of same sex attraction, how I deal with it is my choice. With God there are no boundaries, only the ones we place on ourselves. I am not judging anyone, I have no right too. Just stating the facts.

Forcing anyone into something he does not want to do is like placing a square peg in round hole. First of all, if you think ex gay works every single time the first time. Your wrong, because just like being a good athlete, you need to keep it up, or even if you try to diet, you need to keep it up. This issue should never be taken lightly. However, you need to look at all facts. Check out Dr. Spitzers study. He was critizied for it, even though he got homosexuality off the APA!

I find it amazing that no one questions the studies and scientific research of the gay and lesbian community. All the research is exclusively done within the gay and lesbian community. NONE are outside resources. If there was a company that took that on, they would be commiting corporate suicide because they would have to be positive toward the gay and lesbian community. I guess with biased information The "truth" really does win out? It is easy to get a point across when all info is yours.

I disagree though with all respect. If a straight man could turn gay later in his life, why wouldn't a gay man realized he's actually straight later? Logical isn't it?
Being a gay person, there are days where i feel less gay, and there are days more gay. Which only indicates one fact, gayness can fluctuate, hence theoretically speaking within all the right circumstances it "can" be eradicated. I don't know that's just my personal theory.
impulsive2urge 2 years ago
How many cases are there, of a guy being "gay" and then turning "straight" later in life?
The reality is that a lot of men and women hide their sexuality or deny themselves their sexuality, and later in life just let go of their inhibitions and take to their inner inhibitions and sexuality.

@impulsive2urge are you familiar with the kinsey scale? in short, gives a number to degrees of sexuality. There isn't just, 'Straight, Gay, and Bi' theres varying degrees of each.
While the majority of it is determined by hormones in the fetal stage, environment can play a SMALL role. so i agree, somewhat, with your theory.

@Jynx215 Yeah, what I mean is I can be dominantly straight. Environment plays a BIG role for me. Let's try to make homosexuality a talent, If you have this talent when you were born and were not able to develop it as you grow, tendency is you become a dominantly straight adult. Vice versa.

@Jynx215 Sexuality isn't a scale. that's an artificial construct that Kinsey used. If you lined up one hundred guys with the same 'scale' number they'd all have a different sexuality (like different things in another person).

Will my parents, family and friends accept that I like girls?, People use 'straight' to insult and offend, People look at me in a strange way when I kiss my girlfriend in the street or when we hold hands, Will I have problems at work if I say I'm straight?, In some places they kill people for being straight, well, and a long etc!).

(2) I'd show more (and more easily) affection towards my couple in public, and (3) I'd talk more about my personal life to acquaintances.

ONE:
I think it's really "tempting" to take that hypothetical pill and turn straight... things would IN GENERAL be much easier.
However, it would change all my life as it is now (and as it's been till now)... would I like that? to change that important part of myself all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye??? Nope. One different thing would be a pill to go back and be born as a straight. THAT would be tempting!

Being gay has brought me so much in life I would never change it, I wouldn't like to be someone else.
Growing up gay has definitely had a positive inpact on my life.
The only good thing about being straight is that the person I love would have a womb so I wouldn't have to deal with annoying fucking social workers to have a baby.
On the flip side of that it would mean another kid already in the world without a home :(

Aside from the vagina, they're just the essence of a problem manifested in human form.

So no... I wouldn't want to "cure" myself from homosexuality.

I yam what I yam! LOL No, I would never take a drug to make me str8. I love being who I am, which is being a gay man.
If was str8, I don't know what would be different because I wouldn't be the person I am now.

I wouldn't, i like who I am, and I can have the same things now. It would be easier, but I am happy now.

1. I would be able to live my life freely, to all my family and friends without the worry of that kind of acceptance.
2. I could have a chance at the children I've always wanted, without the need of a serrogate.
3. I would ulimately feel like I was a fraud. I would be haunted by the fact that, by my actions in "becoming" straight, I said that there was something wrong with being gay! But there isn't! I have to say that in my head a million times and I have to believe that there isn't!

I wouldn't want to be straight. I enjoy being attracted to guys -- it's natural to me. I've always had the idea that my life can be just the same as if I was straight. I can have a spouse, house, nice job, kids perhaps. I can have all those things. I have no reason to turn straight.
=)
Good video.

That was great. It really got me to think. Thanks a lot for this.
I can't imagine that I would really be much of a different person if I were straight. I really think that I was meant to be the way I am.
I wonder if we're taught to blame the things we are missing in our lives on being gay?

well i am a christian, so being around my parents when they talk about girls and relationships wont be so awkward. PLUS going to straight clubs with my bro wouldnt be daunting to me. And I would be able to relate to my bros a lot more. And I wouldnt have to have a serious conflicts with the bible. (Although I am an open minded christian) ^_^ btw exploration, you are sexy as always! *sweat drips from forehead* Anyways i wouldnt take a drug... would hinder me from who i am! i wouldnt be me!

I would choose to stay the way I am, gay. I couldn't even come up with one thing that would change if I was straight. By the way that wife beater shirt is hot ha ha ha.

It's my summer uniform, I am always in beaters in summer, but this way I wouldn't need to roll up my arms when washing dishes LMAO!

That is a hard choice, I am the person I am becaues I'm gay. Hmmm I can't decide its too complicated. The only reason I would consider is my life might be a bit easier coming from a mormon family.

No. Hell no. I am who I am, who I know I am. I wouldn't change myself because I like who I am. And it makes me, me.
Myself would probably still be the same if I were straight. Cept I'd be into chicks. I don't know how my personality would be different if I were straight, but I'd think that I'd be pretty much the same ol' shy guy that I am.
I'd still want kids, but It'd be easier to have them if I were straight.
I haven't really faced any discrimination personally. Though I'm -continue-

sure I'll end up having to face discrimination in the future. Since I'm not as old as you yet, Dan. =P Lol.
ApolloDreaming 2 years ago
Don't stress, the older you get the more it rolls off your back. The only discrimination I get is on Youtube. Weird right?
ExplorationB 2 years ago
Yeah. xD The older you get the more you don't give a crap. Main example, my grandmother. :]
But yeah, the most discrimination I've faced is probably online. Lol.
