    Yes actually they are doing it in public schools across the nation.

    No one can force you to be attracted to any gender. Be it male or female, it's hard-wired.

    If anyone tries to 'condition' or force someone to become attracted to a different gender then the one they're already attracted to, be that person gay or straight, they are downright foolish.

    You can see an aesthetic attraction towards any gender - a straight guy can indeed say that another man looks attractive, just as a straight women can say whether or not another woman looks attractive. Doesn't mean they're gay.

    However, if you do feel like you're sexually attracted towards someone of the same sex, it most likely isn't because you've been 'conditioned' to like them... You could very well have some slight homosexual leanings. Sexuality is a very fluid thing - it isn't black and white, or even a solid gray - people can be 100% straight, 100% gay, 50/50, or even 2% gay and 98% straight.

    No. Het people can learn not to be freaked out by same-sex relationship -- homophobia, like all prejudices, is learned and can be un-learned (Go listen to the tune, "You have to be carefully taught" from the musical, "South Pacific."

    That isn't going to change their orientation.

    Do you think you are being conditioned? I think same sex relationships are just more acceptable in this generation.

    I would like to hear more of your views.

    No, it's not. Just as it's impossible for gay people to somehow turn themselves straight, straight people cannot turn themselves gay. Sexuality is hardwired into our biology and brain chemistry, and no amount of prayer, therapy, meditation, etc. can change that. All trying to force yourself to be a different sexuality will do is make you feel guilty and depressed
