Suburbanite, you say that "Curing" a gay male would be like trying to convince a black man that he isn't black. Regardless of the fact that if this analogy is true then indeed it is possible, I must ask, don't you think it would be much more analogus to say teaching a man to prefer small-breasted women rather than his natural inclination of lage-breasted women or teaching a woman to prefer black men to white men or teaching someone to prefer regular sex to S&M?

I would think those examples would show a lot more correlation than the racial example.

Oh and for that othe rguy, there is no evolutionary payoff for homosexuality because it reduces reproductivity. As evolution rests on the adaptation through survival of the fittest which means that genes must be passed on, homosexality is the least evolutionarily suitable trait. As a side effect of some toher trait which is evolutionarily selectable I could see it, but as a primary trait being selected, such a thing makes no sense. Of course, I see homosexuality in the same term as I see preferences among heterosexual males among different types of women, so that is probably why I differ.
