There is a person that is an open homosexual on Shiachat in the sense he is attracted to men while being a man himself. He is well respected as a Shia Muslim, and no one looks down upon him, but instead praise him for not engaging in sexual acts outside of marriage. The thing is some people are bisexual and are married to woman. It maybe one of the wisdom in that it is forbidden so that there isn't an environment that makes it easy to either cheat or come from a background of having done it with men before marrying a woman.
I think personally some people are practically born homosexual, in that they didn't really have a choice, I feel some do experiment and went through a confused state.
That said, I don't think all (sure there is a lot that do, but not all) people saying they changed from homosexual to bisexual or heterosexual are lying. I think some of them believing it was wrong were able to change their mindset.
It seems both Quran and Bible account of a whole city that became homosexual. This is not surely possible by all of them being born that and then expect to marry women.
I think therefore Christians and Muslims from this story, if they can justify belief in it, are justified to believe that there is possible choice in changing attraction to genders.
Does there exist people who claim to have changed their attraction from liking the same sex to liking the opposite sex? Yes. There does.
Are there people among these people who are only pretending that and lying to themselves? Definitely. Are there truthful? I think so as well. I don't think they are all lying.
That said, I respect people who are gay and get married to gay people as well, just that if you are Muslim, you have to believe it's forbidden.
And that personally, I think if Prophet Lut was accepted, he would of guided his people to a spiritual power that can transform them back to heterosexual state. Some people I've seen talk about the holy spirit transforming them from homosexuality to heterosexuality or bisexuality where they avoid and forbid themselves from attraction to homosexuals, and whenever thought pops out, they repel it.
At the end, whatever the truth, may it prevail, and not just conjecture, to reject classical views of cultures and religions neither blind dogmas to override the reality of humans.
