Is it true that being on the pill messes with who you're attracted to?
I heard that when on the pill, it changes who you are attracted to. I was just curious if this were true or not. Or if anybody has anything about this topic

It's a partial truth taken out of context and exaggerated.
At the ovulation stage of the menstrual cycle, some women become, to a degree, more attracted to less masculine men (if you're wondering how that makes sense, lower testosterone is correlated with paternity). Because hormonal birth control prevents that process from occurring, it may also prevent that small shift in attraction from occurring.
However, no studies have been done on the subject, and there is, at present, no evidence to indicate that there is a significant effect on who a woman is attracted to based on her use of birth control.
