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

[L107ANGEL]

I just don't think one can be "converted". I'll give you an example: I like men around my age (36)...give or take 10 years. That would be like me saying okay, I'll try to convert and date someone who is 80 years old. Just won't work...unless you're L107Angel, of course. Gotcha back woman!!!

I am not married to Abe Vigoda!

 

[Aimee K]

I voted yes.

Okay, so on the Kinsey scale, everyone falls into some sort of spectrum, from completely hetero, to flaming.

Love is love. Lifes too short not to take chances and experience love.

The only way I'd consider marrying a man who'd coverted from gay to "supposedly straight" would be to do it for companionship. There are marriages for couples who don't base their relationship on sex but feel a connection and closeness beyond that. At the right time in life that could be beneficial to both. But....I believe all my gay friends who say it isn't a choice and I also believe medical science. It's been reported that the gene responsible for sexuality has been discovered (quite some time back) and it proves that homosexuality IS NOT A CHOICE. Why do people *ignore* this?????

because they are

 

[azgal81]

Nope. I don't think you can be cured if you are gay or even straight it's who you are, why would you want to change.

 

[HaleyB]

Oh, you mean converted that way





But honestly, I voted yes. It looks like just me and one other DISer so far. Wow. I would also marry a black man, a short man, a bald man, or any other person I was in love with who loved me back. But I am already married, lymi Mr. Silly.

But, Rick, I would have a problem if it were that far into the relationship that he told me. While that is not first date material it is also not after the proposal material. Unless it was you or your honey, cause you are both darn cute.

Okay, I went back and voted.

Let me try to clarify my earlier post....

First off, I DO NOT think being gay is a lifestyle choice. That said, if it WAS a lifestyle CHOICE (like religion, job, etc), and one converted (as if from Catholicism to Judaism or from stripper to waitress) then WHY NOT marry them?

Do you not marry someone who used to be Catholic due to a fear of them becoming Catholic again? Do you not marry someone who used to be a stripper due to a fear of them becoming a stripper again?

THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL PEOPLE!!

There you go again

Okay, hypothetically, if it was a choice, then I guess I would marry them if I felt they were sincere about their choice. If I truly believe that he loves me, then why wouldn't I marry him just because of choices he made in his past?

 

[chicagodisneyfan]

I believe you are born gay.

But I would marry Rick in a heartbeat! He is the epitome of hotness, liberal tendencies, great sense of humor.

Sigh

All the good ones are gay

 

[DisneyMomx7]

I didn't vote since I do not believe being gay is a lifestyle choice. I didn't choose to be heterosexual and I don't believe anyone chooses their sexuality. You are what you are. I couldn't be converted to becoming a lesbian so I don't think anyone else can be converted to being straight.

These days people just seem too focused on worrying about the lifestyles of others.

 

[ChuckB]

I voted yes, I would marry a lesbian even if she was not all the way converted

 

[Cantw8]

Ohhh, who didn't see that coming?

 

[Shugardrawers]

You know, Rick, you really ought to consider polygamy. You'd have quite a harem here!

Ever women loves her hot gay friend!

 

[SunFloridaDisney]

To those that didn't vote because you felt it's not a choice, you're missing the point entirely. Let's say you met a man (or woman for you guys out there) and you dated. Things got serious and you fell in love. He proposed (or she did - heck she's allowed) BUT he/she wanted to sit down and talk. Turns out that a few years back, they were homosexual but had been converted, either through therapy or strong belief in God. Hence, they were able to overcome their feelings.

Would you still marry him? Or her? Would you be able to overlook their converted homosexuality and marry?

Well, those are some BIG ifs.

But IF I believed it was a choice (which I don't)

And IF the scenario happened as you described, (which isn't likely)

Then, I guess yes, I would, because I do believe people can change (some things)

for example, I know from experience someone can make big changes in their weight (like through WW or something) or drinking (participating in AA), or their whole life outlook, through finding God or their belief in a higher power of some sort.

But some things just don't fit into those categories.

 

[mick67]

I'd marry a lesbian!

 

[Stacerita]

Do you not marry someone who used to be Catholic due to a fear of them becoming Catholic again? Do you not marry someone who used to be a stripper due to a fear of them becoming a stripper again?

I probably wouldn't marry the ex-Catholic because yes, I would be afriad that they would convert back, that Catholic guilt is killer you know.

I dont think its a choice so them being "converted" is sort of a lie. I dont think you can convert from who you are. They may be able to act straight and play it straight, but deep down they are still who they are. Thats why I said "No, I dont think I could trust them". Its not that I dont trust them as a person, but I dont trust that they really converted in the first place. If that makes sense.

 

[FroggyinArk]

you know rick.. i'm pretty sure i agree with chuck on the lesbian thing, and i can garuntee that the only way i would "marry" a gay man was if he had converted..lol..

 

[Puffy2]

absolutely not. Because it isn't a "choice" and they would only be fooling themselves into thinking a marriage with someone of the opposite sex would work.

 

[Puffy2]

I'd marry a lesbian!

Like most fantasies, sounds more fun than it actually would be.

 

[Sparx]

no. Because it is not a choice, you can not change. you can not be cured. If they say they are, then they really have some personal problems to deal with, themselves.
