Quote from StaticHD
Well, I chose to become heterosexual due to the main reason that it made absolute sense if I wanted to have a son/daughter of my own flesh and blood - believing that "a part of me" we still be walking and talking and existing somewhere in the future to come.
So you made a conscious decision, at a very young age (possibly before the age of 3~5), that since you might want to have children in the future, you're best course of action was to become heterosexual?
Unlikely.
Why do you think that being homosexual equals not being able to have/make children?... That would only be the case if you were sterile/infertile (and even in that case science will probably find a way).
Also, reproducing is not foremost in everyone thoughts (I myself have no interest in it whatsoever).
In fact, sexuality has nothing to do with reproduction and in many cases homosexuality might even be an advantage to both child and parent. What matters is how you deal with it, no good can come of forcing people with differing sexualities together in a monogamous relationship, no matter how much others or they themselves force it.
Quote from StaticHD
believe that if there was a natural technological process of erasing certain distinct memories of the brain, in the future there will be less gay people. But if the government and Law enforcers start to accept gay people as a normal idea, then it will just make gay people NOT TRY to not be gay. Gay people have to want to not be gay if they don't want to be gay.
I'd like to claim the exact opposite, I believe that in the future there will be more openly gay people. For two distinct reasons:
1. In the current civilisation cycle (or how you'd like to call it), it's becoming acceptable to be gay. More and more people are willing to admit being gay and have less trouble engaging in such a lifestyle.
2. Current society, especially in the west, is becoming more and more focussed on the individual. I'm not saying people these days are egocentric, but I'm saying family plays a less important role when compared to the individuals needs and wants. Religious "oppression" is disappearing and "neighbour control" is pretty much gone (especially where I live)... Which I consider a good thing.
I still think you, and many others, are seeing things too black/white. Choice is what matters, no one is forcing you to be something you are not, so why do this to others?
Sure, you are entitled to you opinion and apparently we have our differences on this subject... But that's okay, it's what keeps life interesting. What annoys me, is when people start enforcing their opinions onto others (taking away choice).
Let me decide for myself what I am, why I'm it, and what I want to be. I'm not telling you to be the same or to accommodate me especially, why is it so hard for many people to accept this simple fact?
P.S.
Never understood the "hate" of things that are different, you're telling me homosexuality is not normal... why? what do you base this on?... Are you saying you have had a guiding hand into the creation and development of humanity as a species, and therefore know how a human should act?
You are closing doors to the development of a species because you can't accept something that is different, if homosexuality truly was something harmful to a species, why is it so abundant in nature and history?
If you are against homosexuality because it's generally not accepted in society, that anything you say automatically becomes a non-argument. Society is the common-ground between a group of individuals, it does not dictate how to live or what to be and is dynamic in nature. The bigger a society that more rigid it becomes and the more people get hurt (in which case society WILL change, gradually or by revolution). Society is unrelated to physiology or the psyche.
