What if it were the reverse email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. suspenseful (17152)   ranked 80 out of 3,992 in thinker9 months ago

The other day, one of my friends here at myLot asked what if someone in your family announced that they were now going to be 'gay' would you welcome them, etc. and in general I got the idea that we were expected to be proud and celebrate that they chose that lifestyle or finally came out of the closet (for those who believe one is born that way.)
Now my question is the reverse. What if you had a 'gay' relative who told you that now he did not like that lifestyle, that now he was going to be a hetereosexual, would you celebrate with him, hug him, or would you feel sorry and try to discourage him from going straight? Would you convince him that he was born homosexual and he cannot pretend to be anything else.
This has always bothered me, when I watch a drama on television and a boy admits he is 'gay' and then his sister hugs him and so does his parents as if they are pleased with his decision, but I have never seen the reverse, unless it may be on a Christian program and usually that would refer to an actual person who changed.

I will concede it is not 100% proven scientific fact that sexual preference is an inborn trait. That being said I believe the point is moot. If it is nature or nurture is irrelevant. Tolerance and acceptance is the way to go. I don't care what you do as long as you are not infringing on others rights.

I personally believe that sexual preference is an inborn trait due to the fact that there is mounting scientific evidence to support this. Others, such as yourself, do not believe this... so be it, as long as you don't infringe upon the rights of others that is your prerogative.

I highly doubt a suggestion of further study would offend many homosexuals. Since they believe that they are born that way, they would see it as a chance to prove you wrong.

It would have to be done on new borns and best on pre-borns. They have the equipment. By the time the kid is old enough like five it might be too late. After all who knows how he was raised and what he went through. What makes me upset is that years ago, for over five thousand years people believed that people were born male and female and only influence like the Sodomites and Gomorrahans ganging up on the straight guys, or something wrong with the brain made people into homosexuals or lesbians.
Then it could be something in the food, a chemical introduced by=== some evil mad scientist. that is if they are increasing.

suspenseful, you have GOT to be putting me on.... your responses are getting more and more ridiculous. Mad scientists.... really... your tin foil hat is showing again.

I would think they were a Democrate since they can't seem to make up their minds about anything. I guess the "coming back home" party would be something to see, like the prodigal son.

If I will be faced with this situation I will be happy and celebrate the decision.For me we should respect each ones preference and what they want to do with their life.I will give them support and be happy with their choices,besides it's their life they are living,we should not meddle with it.
