I would compare straight/gay to left-handed/right-handed. You are what you are. Could a lefty try to force himself to be right-handed instead. I suppose. It's not natural and it won't work well, but you could try to force it. We know we are righty or lefty by just what we naturally do. Sexual attraction is the same IMO.
I suppose if the whole world told lefties they were aberrant and immoral and sinners, some would try to become right-handed. Some might even be able to pull it off and get used to it. But it's still not what they are by nature.
