However, under some tramautic circumstances, people have been known to "switch sides" as a means of coping. Mental or physichal, it is irrelevant. As long as they're not out whoring themselves around, I have no problem with homosexuality.
Men are not likely to "switch sides" due to sociological factors that define male homosexuality as a bane to masculinity. It would take an enormous amount of conflict to make a male "renonunce" his heterosexuality and in turn renonounce his masculinity at the same time.
Women on the other hand are much more prone to go "lesbo" for a short amount of time due to the fact that they feel unattractive to the opposite gender and/or they've had bad experiences with men. Which is why we see that many so-called "lesbians" aren't really lesbians but ugly-ass women or scorned women who just don't have any luck with men.
Homosexual men "switch teams" much more often the former because of a combination of sociological, religous and personal factors that make them want to be "straight" to be "normal". However this never works, as they usually implode upon themselves....like that Evangelical priest who whored himself out to a male prostitute.
You can "choose" to date either gender...but you can't alter your desires.
I can choose to date a dog complete with a romantic stroll in Central Park...but it don't mean I'm a zoophile.
