By either the media or people around you is it possible to turn a person gay?
- s
Yes and no… temporarily, yes I believe so. But permanently? I don’t believe so. Sexuality is not a decision. There’s many factors to it. I myself went through 2 years of being turned “lesbian” after I was r-worded by a guy. The trauma caused me to not be able to be around guys for a while, let alone feel any attraction towards males. So for 2 years I only felt attraction towards girls. Eventually I worked through that trauma and my attraction for guys returned. So it was temporary, and a direct result from a traumatic event. I’ve known other people who have been through similar to me, and have temporarily had a different sexuality. But always returned to their original sexuality before the trauma happened, whether it was gay, straight, bi, etc.

I don't think so. Most people know what gender and/or sex they're attracted to. So, if they were attracted to the same sex, they were probably already gay but didn't realize it. It's the reason why some people don't figure out their sexuality until adulthood (there's nothing wrong with this, by the way).
Yes, I think its more common for girls though. But imagine your a girl who had bad experiences with men and originally wasn't interested in girls, one of your friends happens to be lesbian / bi and she convinces you to try it out at least once and made it a nicer experience than the ones you had with a guy. That can change someones attraction around.
I don't think it will be common, but I do think that if the individual was somewhat open to it it can be brought out of them. What happens more is kids being convinced to change their gender, kids don't have good enough identities yet and are easily manipulated so there you see a lot of manipulation being effective.
I think that some people will turn to any group that offers them acceptance and love. I don't think the core of that group has any choice at all.

No, it's impossible
Most nowadays, especially young kids…like teens…are so easily influenced to be lost. So yea… they can. Due to lack of strong family values.
on the other, it’s so much harder to keep one to stay their ground. I did for the sake of my future generations… my kids will continue the legacy we started.
they have learned to not be weak.It's possible if someone has enough pressure from people around that that's the way they should be. It used to be a matter of gay people where in denial so tried to carry out a straight lifestyle but yes days it's almost a dirty word to say your straight.
If their mentality is i line with their body id think they have integrity and bithing is wrong. If they think their penis should go in a guy, or they have a oenis but thelink are a girl ir if human and think they are a dog. I think something lacks integrity. Might be ‘the way it is’… but id question and challenge it.
If we are talking about guys i don't think so. You know what you get erections over.
I do know gay guys who have taken up with women and a gay who was married and had children before he came out as gay. It is possible for gay guys to fuck women.
Yes. Loads of guys turn gay in prison or when they join the Navy. Even lord Nelson once said it was better a sailor snuggled up in another man's bunk than slinked into a brothel.
No, I don't buy that, but it's a favorite argument of the anti-alphabet people who claim you can "groom" someone to be gay. Meanwhile, those who say that groom more people and kids to hate than a gay person EVER will.
Like everything…we can ALL be influenced by our environments as well as genetics. It’s a crapshoot.
But is being gay bad? Doesn’t appear to be. It’s the straights raising psycho kids who shoot up schoolyards. Not children of gay parents.No. More likely there's instances where a heterosexuals might be confused by the flawed logic of the lgbtq-community and convinced to try. Much like how gay men in the past surpressed their urges and convinced thenselves they were straight so too it seems possible to make someone believe they are gay or bi.
“Turn gay?” Probably not.
Convince someone they are gay when they are not? Yes. Absolutely possibleI wouldn't necessarily say I've been 'turned' gay, but I've definitely begun servicing more guys sexually, as a result of my inability to get sex from women.
There being identical twins of whom one is gay and another isn't shows that this isn't just genetics.
However I suspect that this only happens when they are still developing before adulthood.
Not quite sure how someone turns gay at all, whether it be a male or female. I really don't even give a fuck but I do believe that's just nasty.. I love women
No. If you aren't attracted to the same sex then nothing someone tells you will change that.
A gay experience could be influenced by something. Afterall, most everyone is at least a little gay.
Nah. You can realise it, but it doesn't just come out of nowhere
our parents influence who we like lol so yeah it's probably possible
It's highly unlikely. You're either gay, straight or bi. Nobody can change what you like
The fact that I'm not gay after my experience with women tends to indicate not.
Only if the person is confused.
