So if homosexuality is a choice as some of you say, would you...

[RickinNYC]

marry a gay man or lesbian who claimed to have been "cured and is now living a straight lifestyle?

 

[Art Vandalay]

Only if they keep up to date on their booster shots

Crap. I guffawed so hard I almost ALMOST blew snot!

 

[L107ANGEL]

Only if it were you big guy and I still don't think it would work

 

[punkin]

No. But then I don't think it's a choice either. My MIL got married twice, had 2 children, and was miserable for years until she came out of the closet. She is a much happier person now, but all those years of lying to herself and everyone around her took a toll on everyonee who had to live with her craziness during those years.

But you sucked it back in? Good snot control. 5.8 on technical merit

Are you talking about becoming a Jew or something? Because I try to stay open minded about stuff like that.

 

[luvmydogs]

No. As a straight woman who believes that sexual orientation is not a choice, I can imagine a marriage to a "cured" gay man could potentially be a heartbreaking situation for the both of us--and any children our relationship may produce.

I'd welcome and cherish the friendship of any gay man (or woman), but'd nix the possibility of any romantic relationship.

Is it even possible....I thought if you were gay, you're gay

so No, I dont think they are "converted"

 

[sweet angel]

I don't believe it's a choice, so I didn't vote.

However, it's kind of like asking "If being a stripper is a choice, would you marry a reformed stripper". Why not? The past is the past.

 

[luckywife]

Had to vote no since I don't think it's a choice.

Isn't there a league rule about switching teams (especially mid-season) Art V. might have alittle more knowledge on the league rules than I do

Just kidding!

I wouldn't have a problem with it if I understood the reasons behind the switch. (I do honestly believe that for some people it is a choice but for most it is not!)

 

[kdibattista]

Why do I have a feeling that those who think it is a choice won't be voting . I don't think it's a choice and would not marry a "convert".

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I didn't vote since I don't think it is a lifestyle choice.

 

[FreshTressa]

A mother of a friend of mine has been married to a man that "used to be gay."

He was 'married' to a man for the first 20 years of his life, and is now married to her.


I would not marry someone that was gay thinking they would convert...because I don't think it is a choice!

Good point though, lol.

You know, I'm rethinking this. Goodness knows I've been dumped by straight guys for a myriad of lame excuses ("I love you too much" being one of my faves); so being told by my Cured Gay Husband that he's leaving me for another man may actually be the most valid reason I've ever heard. It wouldn't be, "He's just not that into you." It'd be, "He's just not that into your entire gender."

That would soothe the sting a little- you'd know it really wasn't YOU!!!

To the OP- I voted No,simply because I don't think it's a choice, and wouldn't want to marry someone who is with me to prove something (that he's not gay). I want to be with someone because they are head over heals for ME. And I don't think a gay man could be, even if he said he was "converted." Hey, I'm good, but I doubt I'm THAT good.

 

[Freyja]

I love this question!!!

No way I would marry a "converted" gay man. I DON´T believe it is a choice and NO WAY I believe you can be converted.

 

[luvwinnie]

I do NOT understand how some people think it's a CHOICE. I mean I don't recall EVER thinking to myself "Well, time to choose your sexual orientation...are you attracted to men or women?"

And when you see what some gays and lesbians have to endure (abandoment by families, ridicule in the workplace, etc.)...I mean why would someone CHOOSE something that makes life so hard at times? I have a gay family member and I know it wasn't a CHOICE.

I don't think it's a choice either, so I didn't vote.
