If faced with critical thinking, people tend to disregard what you’re trying to say and push back to their outlook.

      I don’t think there is such a thing like making someone gay.

        I have a friend who had surgery to become gay. He was a straight guy before the surgery, and now she is a lesbian.

        That’s sort of exactly the point. People believe it to be true, and it’s sort of impossible to prove them wrong. Nature vs Nurture still isn’t proven either way, regardless of how strongly you feel one way or the other.

        The simple fact that someone believes it’s possible to “make people gay”, almost necessarily leads to them believing there are people out there actively doing it.
