ABF, calling it a defect and saying "Something goes wrong somewhere and they end up different from the rest of their gender" is basically the same thing.
And honestly, I don't care if you don't believe in any of those "gay-turned-straight" stories. You've taken a side and no matter what you will stick to it. You don't care about the actual truth, just what you want to believe. Some gay people can turn straight, be that from taking therapy, medication, or whatever. But it is possible no matter what your stubborn mind thinks. This whole "but deep down they'll always feel that way" theory is complete bullshit. Human beings are meant to feel attracted towards the opposite sex so that they can mate and have children. Gay people cannot produce children, and almost all creatures on this planet have whatever sexual orientation it is that allows them to mate and produce offspring. That is the simple truth. So really, if you're going to use that "deep down inside" argument then you have to say that deep down inside all gay people must have at least some of that natural heterosexual inclination.
Just like everything else in life, defects happen. Some people are born with mental illnesses, physical defects, etc. What makes homosexuality different? I'm not saying that gay people are bad or anything like that, just that their orientation is not natural and therefor a type of defect, for lack of a better word. I don't think of homosexuals any differently than I think of people with chemical inbalances (you know what I mean) or any other mental or physical defect. Most of us have some sort of defect that we were either born with or happened to get later on in life. Defects like severe social anxiety, bad eyesite, poor lungs etc. Some are more severe than others, and some can be cured, with different ways of curing them by different means (a person with some sort of axiety due to a chemical inbalance might be better off with therapy than drugs, for example). The main difference between those defects and homosexuality is that people with glasses or bad athsma won't be discriminated against or labeled as being "evil" by millions of people.
