Can A Gay Man Become Straight?

[julliarder]

Is that possible at all, and can such a person establish traditional prosperous wife, who will born him a child? Do you know any precedent?

It can be done and there are many examples.  Whether it is a suitable basis for happiness is another matter.  Living a lie is not a piece of cake.

Haven't you asked this before in one of your many reincarnations, landF?

I doubt if a gay man can become "straight" in the sense that he will not become heterosexual. A gay man is capable of fathering a child and many do. Some will also have a marriage of convenience.

He'll have to be straight, fairly rigid too, for the mechanics of conception, unless the baster's coming out of course.

I think in the old days it was frowned apon to even admit that your gay, and that goes for both male and female. 

So lots of gay men married a woman and had children the whole package, and later came out as gay much later. Philip Scofield springs to mind, there are many others. 

Even Freddie Murcury had a girlfriend, so too did George Michael. 

 

So a gay man doesn't turn straight, just as a straight man or woman turns gay. 

They might just have been bisexual all along.

More than frowned upon, it was illegal in the days of Oscar Wilde and Alan Turing.
