Poll of the Day > Gay potders if u could take a pill that makes you straight..would ya?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well would ya?

This pill will complete erase any memories of homosexual experiences.

Clean slate.

Alternatively, you can take a pill that doesn't erase any memories.

One time pill. It's irreversible.

Lolno why would i
---

Of course not. Who the hell would choose to be straight in this day and age?

Better question would be how many people would take a pill that made them gay, or better yet Bi?

I don't find men attractive at all, but honestly think how much better it would be if everyone could be attracted to either sex.

I'd take a pill to become gay and love men's feet.

Depends on what neighborhood you live in, really.

I've basked in my straight, white, male privilege my whole life, and I have to say not being one of the people treated like garbage in school for something I couldn't help was nice. The issue with the topic question being posed is that humans are adaptable and as long as you like who you are (embracing sexual identity being a huge part of this), why would anybody want to change to conform to "normality" for the sake of pleasing someone else?

I won't lie, I was fairly homophobic as a teenager. Not because I didn't understand, but because I was a complete asshole. I didn't treat anyone differently, nor was I a bully, but I certainly held bigoted opinions about the whole thing and made fun of it. What made me finally realize I was a douche was one thought: how would I feel if somebody told me "too bad, you have to love and bang dudes now"? As soon as that crossed my mind, I became very accepting. The stupidest part was the fact I knew it wasn't a choice. I'm ashamed of it now, but I freely own up to it with the agenda of making similar people rethink their position.

In places in like Saudi Arabia, it makes complete sense you'd want to change. Being gay there is probably about as convenient as having cancer.

There are plenty of things I'd change about myself. My sexuality isn't one of them and neither should it be for anyone really.

I'd maybe take a pill so that the idea of being intimate with a woman didn't make me so anxious (oh wait that is a thing kek.) Hard to be bisexual when the idea of allowing myself to be vulnerable to woman freaks me out.

What makes you anxious with woman and not guys? I'm generally curious as I'd have thought it would be the same with either sex if you're bisexual.

That's super weird. I never thought about the whole "romantic nerves" thing from a bi perspective (obviously). That just blew my mind, that there's a sex you're cooler around. It reminds me of when I called into Josh Wolf's podcast and posed the question my wife had posed me about "when dudes pee is it balls and wiener out, or just wiener?" The determining factor must vary, but one of the women on the show was broken by that.

They're easier to disappoint. Can't really handle it. Feels like there's just several times more pressure in a relationship with a woman not to mess up. I'm not one to care about other people's opinions but its a completely different matter when you start dating them.

Yeah I don't usually go into it because it sort of goes over most people's head. They tend to just be confused so for the sake of brevity I just say i'm gay.

Fair enough.

I probably would if I were still a teenager, but I could live without a pill like that now.

lolwut? You must have grown up in a super-white school. Then again, even in schools where everybody is white and straight, there's a lot of bullying over things people can't change.

However, I'm going to have to say that you grew up disadvantaged simply because you were forcefed nonsense about "privilege" which has damaged your worldview.

The only legitimate fights I recall involved girls scrapping over guys they liked. I grew up on the wealthy side of town in a suburb of Vancouver. It was mostly white, with Asians being the next largest group, but everyone got along racially. Other than gay jokes, sometimes people were looked down upon for how they dressed, but it didn't seem to be a very serious issue. My high school had a golf team, for Christ's sake...

I won't argue that I have lived a pretty sheltered existence though. Most of the people I associated with were upper-middle class. My parents' house is probably worth nearing on $1M (the neighbour's went for $1.3, iirc, smaller house with a waaay better yard). My wife came from the opposite side of the coin though, she was a foster kid with broke jerkoffs for biological parents (hence foster care) and she really expanded my worldview a lot. Growing up, when we were "broke" every day felt the same as when we weren't, but hearing how she had it and caring about it put a lot of things into perspective. I realized as I got older how fucking lucky I was, and I never take it for granted. I appreciate it a lot.

I have to laugh though, when my wife's bio mom thought I was after her for her $10k trust fund when my dad could make that much on a paycheck. We all laughed at her, my wife included (that sounds harsh, but this is the woman who kicked out her 18 year old son once his savings were emptied, mostly by her, rendering him virtually homeless). Wealth really is relative.

Being gay sucks dude: having to keep secrets from friends and family, not being able to print kids directly, succumbing to stereotypes, inability to understand sportball, conflict within LGBT community, specific STD issues... I hate it.

No, I don't blame him. Being in the closet sucked. But once you come out and throw inhibitors to the wind things just get so much better.

Would you take a pill to become gay? Probably not.
That's your answer.

Make you like both or nothing as you would already be gay.
