Anyone heterosexual that thinks homosexuals can really change should ask this question: Could I become a homosexual if I wanted to do it?

And the answer to that question is: "yes." I witnessed people do just that in college. They decided being a homo was the "cool" thing to do, or else it was the most outrageous way they could get back at their evil parents who were shelling out $20K per year to send them to school. So they adopted the mannerisms and began engaging in the "acts" which, in and of themselves, are so vile that they often seem to have a deep and long lasting negative psychological impact on certain people. Many were convinced that there was no going back after they had committed the acts.

So I'd have to say "yes"--in my experience, people can and do decide to become homosexuals, usually in the aftermath of some real or imagined personal trauma.

That's an excellent point I often overlook. Of course we also have the Queer By Choice crowd as well...
