There can be no doubt that with all of the intolerance, injustice, and hate Gay and Lesbian citizens receive quite often from some of their less illuminated straight counterparts can it be any wonder they might want to change to something else just to avoid the scorn, bigotry, harassment and discrimination? But the fact remains that medical and scientific organizations have revealed in their studies that that is not possible as sexual orientation is inherent in a person at birth and not something you can change anymore than one can change from having a long nose to a short, small one simply by thinking it is a choice that can manifest at will, outside of actual surgery. And it doesn't happen that way in the case of sexual orientation either. Even the so-called Gay Reparation Therapies have been ruled dangerous, harmful, and non-effective by those in the know. However, bigots continue to pound out that idea that they can change into straight, out of fear that is unfounded. But they can't that much is known. But as the article reveals there is no need to want to fix something that isn't broken. And that's the bottom line.There are some people who most unfortunately go rabid at the mention that sexual orientation is not something that should be cured. Well, it shouldn't be. This report with many great links exemplifies why there is nothing wrong with it and why a cure is not at all necessary. That type of prejudice and myth should have been put to rest a long time ago. The article was written by Professor Tim Holbrook who is professor at law at Emory University School of Law and is also associate dean of faculty. We thank Dr. Holbrook for this excellent report.
Opinion: Sexual orientation doesn't need to be cured - CNN.com
It's up to an individual what they want to do, it is all about choices. If they want to change or accept either way, it is up to them, not you, not some news article.that goes for all adults.

Agreed. If I was gay I would want to be straight, and I imagine many gay people would feel the same way. It's up to the individual to decide what they want.
