I was watching some videos on Youtube about 5 minutes ago, and one of them was a blogger asking people if they would choose (if there was some kind of cure) to become straight.
This led me to thinking: would people actually choose an easier life and abandon themselves?
In all honesty, I wouldn't be able to decide that in less than, say, a month. I'd have to put some serious thought into it. As sexual orientation is not a choice, being given the choice would raise a lot of concerns. Some would not choose to become straight, and obviously homophobes would thrive because someone actually wants to be gay. But can you imagine how hard it would be to live with yourself knowing you chose the easy way instead of the way that makes you happiest?
It would make the decision that much more difficult. People would not only judge you to no end for your eventual choice, but you would have to live with that choice for the rest of your life.
So this leads me to ask: If I actually have any readers as of yet, would you choose to "cure" your sexuality? If you could become straight, would you do it?
There is obviously no wrong answer here, so comment and let me know where you stand.

My answer would be no. Not that I'm the most "gay pride" of all people, I certainly don't hide it though. I just don't think I should change the way I naturally am. I don't see a problem with it, so why should I need a cure?
ReplyDeleteThere's also a lot of talk like that going around the asexual community (because they're a lot closer to making sex-drive drugs than they are to "curing" homosexuality). A lot of people say no, though.
I can't imagine wanting to..I mean, I know what might make people want to, because there's so much homophobia, but I don't understand how they could live with themselves if they knew they had changed themselves so severely.
