Some can, some probably can’t.

REALLY tough question.

Note that the question implies that you must answer that either ALL can change or NONE can change.

Homosexuality is a behavior. It is a learned behavior. It is an addictive behavior.

Can a drug addict change their ways if they wanted to? Can an alchoholic change his ways if he wanted to? Can a porn addict change his ways if he wanted to? Substitute as many addictive behaviors as you want into the question.

I believe homosexuality is caused by human’s perversion of something that God created to be good and “normal”. The same question could be asked: “do you think a rapist could stop raping if he wanted to?” humans have gone so far in their “sensual/sexual” desires and they always want more… more… more… greed perverts. You might also ask: “can a man have sex with just one woman for the rest of his life?”… the answer is yes he can… does he want to? Usually “no”. and the more of the “forbidden fruit” that he has… the more he wants… a little “freakier” each time… a little more “perverse” the next time… then it’s perverted (in some jacked up cases) all the way to children and even to animals….

It is a tough question and I am inclined to agree that many can't.

My primary problem with the whole subject is the leftist agenda to push and promulgate homosexuality. I do have no doubt that a significant amount of "bi-sexual" experimentation at the early teenage level is society and peer driven. I object strenuously with encouraging this.

If someone is gay and it's for real, so what. Live and let live as long as I don't have to put up with this damn IN YOUR FACE crap. And the political agenda of special rights.

And my observations suggest that many women can, and many men can’t.

Lesbians tend to be so based on external factors and political factors that can be addressed in other ways.

But almost always, gay men are just, so GAY, and the ones I know well have basically always been gay.

Polls inherently simplify often complex issues, but this one does so in a Big Way.

I agree with your answer.

My clearly novice opinion is that homosexuality seems to be something like alcoholism or other addictions. As such, switching away from it is a very difficult and lengthy process, and likely not successful for everyone who attempts it.

I think that is likely correct. While I think the evidence shows that there is a hereditary factor (i.e., not all people could be homosexual if they wanted to), I think it also shows that there is some external, environmental trigger that sets off the predisposition (i.e., not all who are geentically programmed to be homosexual are homosexual.)
