Initially, it was not easy to publish this post, possibly out of fear that it would be controversial and that there would not be the necessary tolerance. It's just that talking about this subject is delicate, since always, in all stages of history has been like this. It has even punishable by prison (and even the death penalty) not many years ago, and still has. However, kind reader, have a little patience and tolerance with regard to the subject and I invite you to continue reading.
Not long ago, there was a comment that was sent to me about a doctor who claimed to have a cure for homosexuality, which claimed that it was a worm inside the man (and woman?) who craved to feed on semen (on the woman's side she didn't put much emphasis). How about that?
Well, I'm a person who doesn't rule out any theory no matter how strange, but that left me blank. A worm? (At the end of the post I will include the video of the doctor)
But more than whether or not it's a worm, it's the very idea of a vaccine that caught my attention. That's why I decided to make a post to find out your opinions about whether homosexuality is a disease and if it were removed with a vaccine, would homosexuals accept it? What would the LGBT community say about that?
The LGBT movement is a social and political movement that fights against discrimination and homophobia, and in favor of the equalization and recognition of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and transgender people. In recent years, the movement has also included other groups related to sexuality, such as intersex, queer, bears, polyamorous people, among other groups.
But first let's talk a little about the concept of Homosexuality, and other things to understand things from my point of view.
Homosexuality (from Latin homo, 'equal', and sexus, 'sex') is a romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender.
Seen from the logical point of view, homosexuality can be called unnatural? It is correct that there are only two well-defined sexes: man and woman. When a baby is born, it is impossible for the midwife or the doctor to say: Congratulations! Your baby is clearly gay or lesbian! No. Obviously, it's not like that, they'll probably say it's a boy or it's a girl, right? Normally we believe that sex has only one meaning, which is reproductive. Although for humans this is not entirely true. But if we look at nature, there are many species (over 400 species) that present a homosexual sexual tendency. I wonder, are all these species sick too?
Homosexuality is not something new and neither does it have its origin as a consequence of overpopulation, perhaps as some conspiracy theories indicate (I will speak more about this later), nor by some drug-induced by governments to control population growth. The truth is that homosexuality has existed for thousands of years (perhaps millions?) and not just in one part of the world. It does not depend on race, creed, religion, social condition, latitudes, and longitudes.
What varies is the attitude of societies towards groups or individuals with this sexual tendency. Unfortunately, there are still many places in the world where it is punished with jail and even death. Not to mention what the church did in the past with regard to punishments for homosexuals (even burning them at the stake).
The church that with its imposition of celibacy has created an environment more conducive to other practices that I prefer to omit in this post. In my opinion, priests should be able to marry or have a partner.
As I mentioned earlier, homosexuality has been present throughout life. Ancient Greece and Rome, civilizations that have had a great influence on our society, on many levels and aspects, until today, were natural in this practice. For the Greeks, same-sex relationships were normal, almost institutional. Also in the Far East, in ancient China and Japan, there is evidence of homosexual tendencies in history. Indigenous races, in many parts of the world, including pre-Columbian civilizations, such as the Aztec, Mayan, etc.
In reality, the word "homosexuality" appears in the middle of the 19th century. So previously there was no concept to define it. In 1952 it was included as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, which later, thanks to other studies by doctors and psychologists, was able to disprove these facts and by 1973, it was discarded as a mental disorder.
There are theories that indicate that homosexuality originates in gestation, because of the hormonal changes that the mother suffers. There are some theories that indicate that the ingestion of birth control pills generated a proliferation of homosexuality from its invention.
So this could show that homosexuality is born in gestation. However, there is also the possibility that certain non-genetic external factors may change an individual's sexual tendency in early life or childhood.
A friend, whom I admire a lot, she told me about the mouse utopia experiment. And this is where a conspiracy theory of the origin of homosexuality as a consequence of overpopulation appears. Let's talk a little about this experiment.
In 1972, scientist John B. Calhoun conducted an experiment where he took a set of mice and placed them in a place to live with everything they might need for the population to grow. With endless food, water, nesting material and no threats of any kind. This allowed them to reproduce without limits. A utopian paradise that finally became a hell. This experiment had terrible but interesting results: their behavior due to the created overpopulation, made them stop being mice (behaviors from homosexual tendencies to cannibalism) long before they ended in death. This is an experiment that I didn't know about and from which many conclusions and theories of the results obtained can be written.
You can know more about it at:
But to stay on topic, it means that the proliferation of homosexuality currently shows an excessive increase in the population?
Will the end of the world be near? 
Nah! Not at all...
As I said earlier, homosexuality existed before Christ (thousands of years before); so I don't think it represents an evolutionary disadvantage or the extinction of the human species.
For many scientists and psychologists, accepting homosexuality into society does not make it spread, but rather achieves better tolerance and harmonious coexistence among communities. For others, more optimistic, the behaviors of love and cooperation play a very important role in our evolution as a society.
Now with this less conflictive feeling about homosexuality, we can return to my main question, which started this post.
Imagine a future in which a "vaccine" has been created (we are going to put it in quotation marks) that does not affect the human organism, nor its metabolism, nor causes cancer, nor any other type of secondary effect other than to eliminate homosexuality. Would homosexual people, both men, and women, be willing to take it?
What would the LGBT community say? I'm sure they would be outraged by that, creating a worldwide commotion.
Knowing all that I have mentioned so far, I think that those people who are marginalized or excluded by societies and customs (both religious, political, and social) of the environment that surrounds them, obviously would be tempted to take them in order to be accepted by a society unable to tolerant or that punishes with prison or death penalty this sexual tendency.
The most certain thing is that the less tolerant governments of some countries would force homosexuals to take it. Gay communities would then have to emigrate to other places where they would be accepted. Quite a social impact. There would be a new division of society, more evident now.
In case the vaccine is preventative. As a parent (being a mother or a father), would you administer the vaccine to your children to prevent them from becoming homosexuals when they become adults? Surely not only for your own convictions and customs you would do so, but also to prevent our children from being part of a society that would be even more repudiated.
Would intolerance and discrimination increase? Possibly yes. The most orthodox religions: Christian, Jewish, and Islamic would force their parishioners to get vaccinated. For them, it would be a reasonable position, based on their beliefs imparted in their sacred texts and then backed by science that would classify homosexuality as an anomaly that can be combated and "repaired". Increasing hatred towards those who do not wish to be repaired.
Quite a dilemma, isn't it?
Possibly those more drastic ones who like to create conspiracy theories would ask me: What would make you think that the government would not use this vaccine to eradicate homosexuality? I would also answer, is it not in the government's interest to use homosexuality as a natural control of the population?

It is a very controversial topic, but nevertheless my views expressed possibly cause some damage, I do not agree with homosexuality (the change of sex, sexual confusion, same-sex marriage) but even so I have friends who are in this condition, every day I try to focus on how God loves us, he rejects sin but he deeply loves the sinner.
It is controversial. But I wanted to know from your point of view what would happen if there was this type of vaccine? What would happen to the gay community? Would it increase homophobia? Would religions force parents to vaccinate their children? The important thing for me is to make known a peaceful solution to this dilemma. We could be very close to that happening.
Thanks for taking the time to read and commenting
Dear @EriksonGutierrez,
Thank You for sharing Your view on the topic in the most simple and truthful way.We might not share the same faith but our God is the same, and I totally agree with Your view! I'll make You words, mine also (sorry for stealing =P)All the best, have a great dayCy
I would say to me it is obvious that homosexuality isn't a disease and therefore can't be cured, but it is scary there is someone making this claim right now, and being taken seriously as well. I am glad you decided to address this, and challenge the assumption instead of ignoring it.
The level of division this would create would be incredible. i think yeah, it would be compulsory in some countries, particularly ones with a national religion. The weapon it would be for the hate mongering of some evangelical churches would be phenomenal, given how they actively encourage the discrimination, incarceration and psychical punishment of gay people in other countries already... alright then... a less cynical prediction this time haha
So i think, if they found an injection that suppressed same sex attraction, a lot of things would happen.
I believe this would be rolled out on a voluntary basis to begin with. There would be a huge amount of division, as people felt like they had to chose sides, but were scared to say anything - rather like you have in your comments haha, and as a result it would slide past a tipping point of hate on both sides before most people got involved.
I suspect there would be riots, and protests outside clinics/facilities that offer the injection, from both sides. The 'don't take the shot' side of the protest would try and convince people not to take it, whilst the 'take the shot' side would try and get between the two. Rather like some of the show downs outside abortion clinics in the US, it would get very heated. I suspect, given the nature of the issue, and how marginalized parts of the gay community already feel, this would lead to extremism, and we would see physical acts of terrorism on both sides.
As that aspect escalated, it would allow one side to demonize the other, and the general climate of the country would determine which way that went. More religious countries would be more likely to paint the 'don't take the shot if you don't want to' side as the bad guys, and the 'take the shot' as the hero's trying to stop them, but i have to believe it would be the other way around in some places.
once we were at the extremism point, we would probably already being seeing forced injections, probably in religious areas. Those who wanted the injection given to everyone, would claim an association between peoples sexual orientation and the lengths they have gone to defend their freedom (violence, protests, etc), and use that to further smear all gay people. They would take the worst behavior of a single defender of not taking the injection, and apply it to all gay people, they would use it as leverage to allow for discrimination.
I suspect certain private schools would require a child to be 'vaccinated' to go there, and the fear mongering around the protests and objections would lead to more parents considering injecting their own children - for their own safety of course. I feel like phrases like 'gays are violent don't you know', and 'they are sick, they just need help' would become prevalent.
Some charities would only grant overseas funding if the vaccine was made compulsory and private organisations would be able to easily use it to discriminate on the grounds of safety. In certain areas, it would surely lead to an increase in homophobia, which would in turn lead to an increase in people both wanting to take it for the wrong reason, and people being forced to take it. I think a surprising amount of people could end up taking it.
I suspect as it became more harsh in some places, it would soften as a reaction in others. As people in one country saw violence increase, people resisting the 'vaccine' until the last minute, and the real life horror stories surfaced, it would lead to other countries/places going the opposite way. In countries where it was maybe adopted but not enforced, I suspect the amount of people who flee as refugees due to persecution would massively increase, combined with those fleeing to avoid being forced to take the injection, and those moving to live in a 'cured' zone, it would lead to a decent amount of global relocation. As things progressed, what remained of the LBQT+ community would fracture, those wanted to continue to live as normal people, and those who's hate had twisted so badly. There is already A LOT of really vicious cishet hate in the gay communities. These people who already passionately hate straight people may splinter off, and form a society of their own but i suspect the sheer hate they already carry would be more likely to lead to terrorism. Just as I suspect the hate on the 'take the shot' side would likely lead to extreme acts of violence against individuals.
in the short term here, i feel like the hate on both sides would get to levels that supersede anything we have seen in history. However, i feel like the long term result would be mixed. Not all children would be vaccinated, and out of those those who weren't, some of them would experience their natural attraction. I suspect, given that their parents chose not to vaccinate, those children who did not get the shot and came out as gay, would be celebrated by their families - and the communities their families had chosen. Once we reached the point of 'next generation' homosexuals , the scales would tip. The children who had had it forced on them would feel like they had something taken away from them, there could possibly be a rise in asexuality in those children as they felt it had been taken away from them. I think rather like any historical persecution has given way to a much wider acceptance in the very long run, the next generation would celebrate those who stayed true to themselves, and those who had been forced to take it as babies would be the ones who outlawed forcing it on other babies.
I don't know if it is too hopefully to think that such horror would change us. I can't see how that wouldn't lead to horror, but that is not to say that horror wouldn't lead to a massive social change at a later point. The historical playbook i would base speculation on, would be the conflict in northern Ireland, which is now leading to a generation of young people who want nothing more than to accept each other as they are, for who they are, regardless of their beliefs or practices. Hate begets hate, which begets hate, which in the end, begets a hatred of hate. Its the repeat or repel cycle of abuse, eventually the chain snaps, and it snaps hard the other way. I hope.
Update: Then again, I like to think that maybe, just maybe, people would be better than they have been in the past, and it wouldn't be forced on anyone, nor would it be given out easily. I like to think, if they did find something that would make people not homosexual, that taking it wouldn't be something people did lightly. That if someone went to a doctor and asked for it, they would get counselling, and have to undergo a wait period, rather like how in the UK the first step in a sex change is normally two years of counselling preparing for the change, and making sure it is what a person wants. Maybe, just maybe, it would go like that, and the 'vaccine' would be given sparingly, and only to those it would really help. Jeez, given how there are some people who are 'reformed' homosexuals in the church, and repeatedly 'relapse', i can see there being a group of people who desperately, desperately don't want to be attracted to the same sex, but can't fight it. Maybe, maybe just maybe, it would be something good for them, and not forced on anyone, or given to anyone who may not be 100% about wanting it.
Impressive comment @calluna
Woo brother @jadams2k18, this is a great topic of conversation, plus a well-researched article, Congratulations!
First I want to share my opinion about homosexuality. My belief in this is that homosexuality is a sexual preference of people, whether it is correct or not, it is a matter of another discussion. Therefore I am one of those who think that this sexual inclination is not something pathological and will not be eradicated with a vaccine.
The fact of being a sexual preference (in my opinion) would lead to people who have this tendency to reject that vaccine posed by the doctor you mention, because human beings are free to decide what we do, what we want and we have the tendency to reject control.
From the biblical point of view (I hope not to be sensed by this) God Himself respects the free decision of man, what scholars call the free abbey, that is, each person is free to do with his life what he likes best, logically respecting the neighbor and assuming the consequences of their actions.
Very good article, very well worked, good presentation. You are a master brother!
Pr EV
I'm glad you commented and I'm glad to know that from the biblical point of view, God does not impose a specific way of living and that our free will is the one that determines our destiny.
Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend.
Thanks for coming
First of all, the word "cure" for something that isn't a disease is unintelligent. I want to clear this up even though I know @jadams2k18 probably understands this, but it might not occur to other people.
Second, the question itself is as pertinent as asking "if there was a cure for boys whose favourite color isn't blue..." If they like blue, yellow, pink, green, gray or whatever, it doesn't matter. It's just one detail from who they are as a whole.
The origin behind homophobia is the same as racism: ignorant and selfish elitism. "There should only be those who are like me." The whole existence of this discussion points to how imbecile humanity in general really is.
Last but not least, I've read that whenever a family has too many sons or daughters, the younger ones have a homosexual tendency. This theory fits well as a species defensive mechanism against overpopulation, but sort of efficient over an incredibly long period time instead of sudden bursts of reaction.
Your answer is very interesting and you may also be right that nature finds its way to control the population. Obviously, in a man-controlled environment, everything became a disaster and we could see them with the mouse experiment.
But I wanted to know what effect a vaccine that would remove their sexual orientation would have on the gay community. Would they take it willingly? Or would they fight for their rights? Would governments force them? And religion?
And who knows, with the advances of science and genetics we may be one step away from this to happen.
It's always good to be prepared for any situation. Our imagination can show us solutions long before problems happen.
Thanks for commenting
No, yes, yes and yes. Being a homo is part of them. Would you willingly take a drug that made you not be jadams, or at least be less jadams? You deserve the choice. You would fight for being able to choose. Russia and Korea already take away that choice without the need of cures. A lot of religious groups and individuals would certainly resort to force, simply because they can hide behind their faith to "justify" their actions.
It's a great post! :)
That's right! My friend! Governments and religious sects would force people to take the vaccine.
I would never take a drug that would make me stop being who I am. I would only take it if it somehow harmed others around me. And yet I would also think twice before making a decision.
I didn't know about that
Thanks again. I'm glad you showed me your point of view
I do not consider homosexuality a disease, I really believe that there is a wrong soul in that body. I mean, a feminine soul is installed in a male body or vice versa, that is why they feel their bodies as strangers to their needs. I do not think a vaccine is the solution.
@jadams2k18
You're right, a vaccine is not the solution. Understanding and tolerance is better. But I wanted to know what effect a vaccine that would remove their sexual orientation would have on the gay community. Would they take it willingly? Or would they fight for their rights? Would governments force them? And religion?
Thanks for coming by
I hope homosexuality keep existing (and maybe increasing) to show us how sick is a society that can not accept differences. We are in 2019 and we still didn't learn this simple lesson... different is not bad or good. There's no freedom without accepting differences.
That's right, my friend. But if you look at it from the point of view that I wanted to show. Apparently I didn't make it. The effect of this vaccine would be disastrous worldwide on the gay community, it would no longer be an option (or decision) to want or not take the vaccine. It would be an obligation on the part of many intolerant governments (and there are many) and obviously on the part of religion. It is that science would give them the basis to base their reasons for wanting to extinguish the gay community, now that in that alternative reality there is a vaccine of that type.
What would you think?
Wowww!!! This is a very complex and controversial issue. I am heterosexual and although I have occasional contact with members of the LGBT community, I do not consider myself homophobic.
As you describe in your post, homosexuality has existed for thousands of years and in certain cultures throughout history, it has been considered normal, and this behavior has even been promoted, regardless of what its origins may be: genetic factors or factors external (environmental, social, etc.)
As for your question, I reply that no one can be forced to "heal" against his/her will, and any government, society or religion that intends to do so will have many problems.
Regards
Excellent comment. I'm sure you'd be one of those who support the gay right not to take that kind of drug. So would I.
Thanks for coming by
I am also of the opinion that priests can marry and have a partner and children. Perhaps the rape of children would not happen. I believe that this excessive increase in homosexuality is also a reason that many women work and have less time. Also, you often see groups of young men and men and on the other hand groups of young women and women. I think that the male side usually has only friends and the female side usually has only girlfriends. There are, I think, big barriers between the sexes and often is when this barrier is overcome and a harmony has been found that is limited to the sexual relationship. I fear that if the vaccine came, many would be under strong pressure. And I think this might be injected arbitrarily without asking. And even asking is a strong harassment. We do not need a vaccine for homosexuality. We need tolerance and love for my next human being as he is.
I'm glad to hear that.
I suppose it was a Church policy for the children and wives of priests to stop receiving the parts that were theirs when priests died. To have to divide the profits with the priest's relatives was not welcomed by the institution. So the best way was to prevent them from getting married and to impose a chastity policy in the interests of the church for better service to God. That's my theory.
Sounds a little macho, but I think you're right. Shhh... don't say it too loud, the feminists might crush us.
That's great! We need love and understanding man!
Hi @jadams2k18
Personally I consider that homosexuality is not a disease, but as a fad, I currently consider it that way since in recent years the number of these people has increased, of course, with their mentality and how they feel about the decision they took If this were an illness hopefully and with this worm many are healed, because honestly I can not stand people like that, of course one should respect what others decide because they are their lives, but if one was born a man or a woman you have to accept yourself It is, I do not understand why these people want to change already after they are older, because the changes of people older than 14 years, I think, are usually in the middle of the development stage. If they thought with more age there might not be as much tendency of homosexuals but good, everyone with theirs.
I used Google Translator
Interesting answer. Do you speak Spanish?
I respect your opinion. But you have to be on their skin to know what they're going through and to understand their world.
The subject is complicated and delicate. However, the idea of the post was to know what you think the effect of this "vaccine" would be on a social, political, religious level.
Thanks for commenting
Si perfectamente. A nivel político actualmente no le dan importancia por lo menos en Venezuela, en otros paises me imagino que si estudiaran esas posibilidades y como ellos emplearian esa "vacuna" en su población. A nivel social por algunas partes supongo que causará revuelo y otra parte no les gustará o la rechazarán y en el caso de Venezuela el 60% sacaría un chiste referente a la noticia o muchas burlas como ya es de costumbre reirse o burlarse de ciertas noticias. A nivel religioso, considero que pasaría light por asi decirlo, a lo mejor lo comentan lo estudian, pero más alla no creo que pase, antes lo ojos de Dios somos hombres y mujeres, y la iglesia quiera de alguna u otra forma "obligar" por cumplimiento o mandato de Dios para entrar en una religión aplicarse la "vacuna" y ser como tal cual nacimos, no creo que estos quieran aplicarselas ya que estará en su decisión si se la aplican o no para pertenecer a una religión.
Hello everyone here on steemit! And hi to my fellow publish0x writer @jadams2k18. Being a homosexual is not a disease! It is a state of mind being preconditioned to their own self. Or should I say, our own self.
I am not gonna dip into its controversy and bang everyone being a keyboard warrior but would just like to say that we NEED to RESPECT everyone around us and we need to act respectable in everyone's eyes in return to gain the respect that I was talking about.
Cheers! See you around then!
Hello @fycee.
Respect is very important for coexistence in society. In fact, the idea of the post, perhaps a little confused, is that I wanted to know what would happen in the world with the appearance of this "vaccine". What would happen with society and the gay community? How catastrophic it would be for the intolerance and incomprehension towards this community in many parts of the world.
Thanks for passing by
Dear @jadams2k18
A subject that can generate controversy at the moment, difficult to give an opinion without hurting susceptibilities since what I can think about it, I can not necessarily be right, but neither can I remove it.
But I think that everyone is the owner of his life, because he would have to choose a vaccine or a pill to change what he is or what he feels or wants to be with his sex life. Because in that sense it is the only thing different, since they are as or more intelligent than many, whatever their inclination.
So from my side, my opinion is: Noo take any vaccine or inject anything, just follow your life and live and now.
That would be a good response from the gay community. I'm sure that they would fight for their rights and perhaps the most likely is that they would form their own country, before the actions from a society, a government, and a religion that has in its hands this type of vaccine.
And who knows, with the advances of science and genetics we may be one step away from this to happen.
Thanks for passing by
In a very few world
"Respect"
The only think we should really learn is respect when we could manage to respect each other it doesn't mater what color you are or religion or sex or anything
RESPECT .

That's the truth. Respect is what prevents wars, what keeps the peace between us.
But I wanted you to use your imagination and tell me what might happen with a vaccine that would remove their sexual orientation? What the LGBT community would do about the vaccine? Would they take it willingly? Or would they fight for their rights? Would governments force them? And religion?
And who knows, with the advances of science and genetics we may be one step away from this to happen.

The best thing about this post is that it recognizes that homosexuality is not taboo. It is here and had to be accepted, even if I don't like it or even abhor it. But does it deserve such attention. There are many sexual/social practices in this world which have developed and are prevalent but not accepted as normal- A woman marrying more than one man, A man having more than one wife, surrogate motherhood. How do we relate to that? Or do homosexuals or homophobic have a special status or are the LGBT just more eye catching. Can I not be a homosexual and misogynistic? or Have three wives and be a feminist?
For the practicing religious people these arguments have clear answers and they follow what their books have ordered ( this is the easy way out). For the rest of us we need to think- what if my son or my sister was a homosexual? And we do NOT judge people what ever the answer. I can argue my point, I can choose to join the group or stay away. As for the vaccine- if it is possible at all, it will be provided free of charge at clinics- Coz our society has some set beliefs which are difficult to break like: - White skin is beautiful. - Thin is in. - Butterflies are beautiful but spiders are creepy
The points you make in your answer are interesting and maybe we could write a post about them. But I wanted to know from your point of view what would happen if there was this type of vaccine? What would happen to the gay population? Would they create their own country to be free? Would religions force parents to vaccinate their children? The important thing for me is to know a peaceful solution to this dilemma. We could be very close to that happening, who knows.
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
I think this practice would be unnecessary in terms of freedom of thought and behavior. People live the same way they feel. Nobody can interfere.
That would be best, but it is almost impossible to do because of the prejudices and condemnation and punishment of many governments. Not to mention religion.
It's not a disease, so no vaccination is necessary anyway. My opinion is that homosexuality is not innate, but has social reasons and reasons for how we live and must live life. We'd all better ask ourselves why this and that. I am against a vaccine. People should be left in peace.
Excellent answer!!! We have the first one to agree on the harmful effect of this vaccine. I'm sorry I got so excited. It is that I want to imply that I want to know what an invention like this could cause. Science advances and who knows if, in the not too distant future, genetics will allow us to create this type of vaccine.
That's why I'd like to know what could happen at the social, political and religious levels.
I am a fan of crazy conspiracies as well, and the idea that homosexuality could be treated with a vaccine is sort of crazy. LOL.
I say live and let live. It's none of my business who you choose to love or be sexual with, you know.. just like be happy and live a good life. To be quite frank, there's so many other things that are much bigger issues in the world. Climate change pollution, quality of life... It's ridiculous that we spend so much energy down these paths. Just like love who you want.
With regards to the topic of do I think you could "cure" homosexuality. Humans are a pile of chemicals and chemical reactions, endorphins, strange impulses and so many other things we don't even understand yet. I do think that through regulating and changing chemical levels at different times, you could elicit more responses in people, and fundamentally change them, yes. I would imagine though it would be some sort of microchip in the brain however that turns on often receptors. Sounds like this might make a good twilight zone episode...
Interesting idea, Thanks for posting!
Yeah, but think about it. Science and genetics are advancing at a dizzying speed. New foods, new medicines. A vaccine like this wouldn't call it science fiction. But what I want to know is what effect it would have. Would you agree with it? Many governments and religions are sure to. And it would surely be total chaos over populations and human rights. What do you think?
I believe it is a choice thing just as everything else in this life is. It is like asking if drinking alcohol had a vaccine would drinkers take it? If prostitution had a vaccine would prostitutes take it? At the end of the day it is always going to be our personal choices that will determine how we choose to go and not a consensus thing. Human beings have always had that choice and it based on the choices we make that society judges us. Society maybe wrong sometimes as we have seen in the past and we have had people who have challenged society which ended up either good or bad. In conclusion, the choice is always ours to make and it doesn't always conform with what society expects from us.
Of course, it's a choice. But I don't think that matters when the government and religion threaten the gay population with the use of this vaccine. This is all hypothetical, maybe science fiction. However, with the scientific advances on a daily basis, it may not be. And it could happen. Surely the gay population would have to create their own country to be free from homophobia and repression. What do you think?
In countries with strong cultural values you don't even mention you are gay, that may be your death sentence. Lol. Like in my country Nigeria, you get 14 years if you are caught in gay activities. But in some western world where some of the leaders themselves or influential members of the society are gay. I doubt such a policy will be implemented. So there are countries where if such vaccines is available nobody will come forth because they may think it is a trick to eliminate them, while there are countries where such can't happen because the leaders themselves appear not to think it is an illness but rather a normal thing.
14 YEARS!!! Jesus! They're pretty strict in your country.
I'm sure, hypothetically speaking, it would be one of the first countries to use this type of drug on a mandatory basis.
You are right
Thanks for commenting
I believe is a natural behavior that exists in human history and we need to be open toward it.
Tolerance and understanding is a good solution and difficult to achieve. But what would happen if science creates this type of vaccine? What would happen to the gay population? Would they create their own country to be free? Would religions force parents to vaccinate their children? Would it increase homophobia? What do you think?
I believe it can be like the movie Divergent and believe a vaccine will not change the power of the mind to anyone.
I wasn't very clear about it, I did watch the movie but I didn't really pay much attention to it. There was a kind of class division in society and the problem was the main character who could decide to be of any class? I really don't remember.
Anyway, thank you for your time.
The divergent can be the 4 classes at the same time and I compare homosexuality the same way, it is like that and we need to accept it.
You are very right, my friend. Acceptance and tolerance are very important for coexistence and peace.
I am 20 seconds from the gay village in my town. :)
I think people who are on the fence or cannot deal with peer pressure would take it but those who are confident and believe in their life choices wouldn't even consider it
That's what I want to know, what would happen (or will happen) when science creates this type of vaccine. Science advances very quickly and genetic studies are opening new discoveries.
I'm sure that would happen on a smaller scale, followed by persecution and eradication of the gay population. In the worst case scenario.
Oh wow @jadams2k18.
I didn't expect to ever read publication with such a unique topic. Just like others said - it's very controvensial.
To tell you the truth, I'm to worried to have and share my own opinion on blockchain. I found this topic interesting and worth reading, but I believe it's best to say nothing :) Hope you don't mind.
Yours

Hello, again my good friend! Then, see it from this point of view: What effect would this vaccine have on the gay community? I'm sure it would no longer be a choice for them to take or not to take the vaccine. Surely religions, governments, and homophobes would force many to take it. And perhaps the strongest would have to emigrate and together create Homotopia/GayTopia? A place far from the repression of closed minds.
What do you think?
I think to approach the situation with freedom, responsibility and respect, is in any case the solution.
@crypto.piotr
@jadams2k18, In my opinion now we are standing on those times where we don't know what we seeing and saying is true or not or what is disease and what is good state.
I know. I know. But think again. As I mentioned before: We know that advances in science do not stop, and new studies in genetics have created new foods and medicines. It could be then that this is not as fantastic as many think. What would its effect be, as I have already seen in a few comments, many believe it would be their own decision whether to take the vaccine or not. But I would say that institutions (government, religion, societies) and collective fear would do the rest. They would force everyone to take it. What is your opinion? The gay community will have to create its own country to be free of this "fictitious" threat?
If it's a natural phenomenon then no one have the rights to force anyone. If it's a truly disease then in my opinion medical help is the right way. But what's the truth in reality? One thing is for sure, for a moment keep this particular subject aside, and in general i want to say that Intolerance is rising in this world and violence is openly visible now and in these scenario Humanity is not safe at first place.
In this world if we need to handle any situation first we need peace and point of balance but unfortunately in this era we are missing it. Let's see where this world move towards. Stay blessed.
Let us pray to God that things may seek a way of peace and intolerance disappears.
Bless you too
Yes let's pray and let's pursue the path of peace. Thank you so much and stay blessed always.
hello lol as the answer was a little long I made a post to respondlal, I leave the prompt answer to the question and the link of the post where I explain a little more
"Regarding the question of the post my answer is "yes" surely a group of homosexuals would be supplied with the vaccine, as if there was one for pedophilia, zoophilia or other sexual deviations, only a group of those suffering from deviations accept that they have a problem, that group would be supplied with the vaccine, the acceptance of the problem is the first step and that always depends on the psychology so even in drug addicts it is essential to accept the problem as a first step for a possible regeneration."

This is the comment (translated) I replied in your post.
Greetings @hendersonp. I didn't know you spoke Spanish.
Initially when I did the post, I wanted to focus on the question, but as usual, I had to define my point of view about homosexuality. Maybe that was my mistake because from the beginning I wanted to know everyone's opinion about what the effect of a vaccine as such would be. Given the advance of science, it is possible that through genetic studies they will be able to develop a drug that controls sexual behaviors and preferences. That is, they may create a "drug" that controls or eradicates sexual desires toward the same sex.
But what I really want to know, and I repeat it again, are the repercussions of this fact. Outside the concept of homosexuality, whether or not it existed before Christ or whether it is comparable to animal behavior, etc.
Most, like you, were inclined to give their opinion about homosexuality and support for it. And I'm very happy about that. However, I wanted something more imaginative.
And well, there was one so far and it really was a great comment, a beloved steemian, who exposed most of the catastrophic effects that an invention as such would have. Although in the end, she expresses a more civilized alternative where the blissful "vaccine" would have a positive effect.
Obviously, as she points out, it would bring divisions on the part of LGBT itself and, of course, society as such. The dominating effect of governments and religions would force gay communities to get vaccinated. Terrorist groups would appear against such facts and most would emigrate to places or countries where the "vaccine" is not mandatory or not accepted.
It even touches on the issue that schools would demand the use of that "vaccine". And in the end, the emergence of a new kind of "next generation" homosexuals is great.
She really took the question seriously to answer it from all angles. What's more, those I wouldn't even have thought of. It's a devastating future. However, I encourage a moral that allows a peaceful solution, full of tolerance and love.
Greetings and thank you very much for your participation.
I like the way you think. Let's see you post

@jadam2k18, A publication that shows a lot of seriousness and research. As these issues should be addressed.
I think the vaccine would be taken by some and rejected by others, as it happens to happen. They are never all in agreement with something.
From my personal point of view, as well as some people resemble surgical interventions to perform sex change, others could opt for a vaccine to stabilize their sexual orientation.
To approach the situation with freedom, responsibility and respect, is in any case the solution.
Español
Una publicación que muestra mucha seriedad e investigación. Tal y como deben abordarse estos temas.
Creo que la vacuna sería tomada por unos y rechazada por otros, como acostrumbra a pasar. Nunca todos estan de aacuerdo con algo.
Desde mi personal punto de vista, así como algunas personas se semeten a intervencione quirurgicas para realizar cambio de sexo, otras podrían optar por lña vacuna para estabilizar su tendencia sexual.
Abordar la situación con libertad, responsabilidad y respeto, es en todo caso la solución.
Dear @jadams2k18,
This is why I believe that homosexuality is a part of nature as it exists among other living things as well apart from humans. Hence, I don't think they need to be 'cured'.
That is right! I came across a post that my friend shared recently and it consists of many pictures of homosexual couples. Here is the link in case you would like to check it out: Old pictures of homosexual couples
No, I don't think that they will take it because doing that would mean that they are rejecting themselves. I feel that most of them would rather embrace who they really are instead of trying change in order to fit in. As I mentioned earlier, since it is natural, I don't think anything need to be changed. However, in case the government and the religious bodies are intolerant, they might try to force the 'vaccination' on everyone. I think it is wrong though as everyone should have the freedom to be themselves as long as they are not harming anyone. Thank you for bringing up this interesting topic and for critically analyzing it as well.
Bingo! That would be the main position of the LGBTQ community.
Exactly!
And that's where a global disaster can originate.
However, the important thing of all this is to make those who have the access or the power to develop this type of drug or in some way have the means to foresee or reach it, first measure the extent, the dangers, and consequences of an invention of that magnitude can entail. Just as those who invented the nuclear fission never thought that the atomic bomb would originate.
Thank you for your contribution.I'm glad you stopped by.
Since centuries there are people (mainly church leaders) who claim homosexuality is a disease.
Might be it is one since it has to do with a different DNA, but so has the color of the skin, how tall you get and the grade of intelligence one has.
Heterosexual, homosexual, who cares as long as you are happy with it and do not abuse other people.
I really hope they would not take the med and accept themselves the way they are, live with or without the one(s) they like or love. This besides of the fact it would not cure but hide symptoms and the world will lose a lot of creativity.
Sexuality is a private thing, no need to hide but also not to share with the entire world if you don't feel the need to do so.
By the way: if God would not allow it they wouldn't exist or?
Also homosexuality exists since ages and there are plenty of cultures where men have sex with men although they are married. They claim not to be homosexual and are not bi-sexual either..(they state)
Hello, my dear @wakeupkitty! 😍
I thought you never were gonna comment on my post. 😒
@calluna described in detail the possible consequences that this fictitious invention would bring. They are quite threatening. And I agree with you that the majority did not take this vaccine. However, governments, churches and other organizations will put pressure on society and start the riots between sides.
But the important thing that I want to show is that possibly, science is advancing towards those places too and it is necessary to reach those "inventors" who measure the consequences of their inventions.
Thanks for stopping by 😄
(I'm using html emojis, pleas tell me you can see them)
Hi dear,
I answer you if I can, but I don't feel that great (read: I feel like shit and pain is increasing).
Yes I can see your emoticons (not all of them) 💕
Since the difference in DNA is caused by the mother during the pregnancy (according to science at this moment) it is better to controll the hormone balance or what else it does cause with the mothers, avoid stress and let them be mothers, instead of giving a vaccine to healthy people, make them feel unworthy and give them cancer as well.
Good thing I live in a country where religion is on a low level winds the 60-s.
Pity the borders are open for heartless, abusive fanatics and terrorists. The governments better worry about them (familiar with the Kalergi plan?).
This med/vaccine sounds too much like genocide.
If it comes to dangerous people, those who do not live by the rules of the Bible (hate, envy, greed, molesting, stealing, raping, not working and stupidity) are a way bigger danger. Lets vaccinate (castrate/sterilize) them first then.
What is left over will be peaceful and creative.💕
I am afraid this is not fiction. 😭

I am not a fan of homosexuality and I am not against it either. The world should be free for everyone to to decide their fates.
To answer the question;
I think most parents will deliver it to their children when they discover that they are homosexuals probably when they are still very young.
It is hard to tell for a grown up homosexual. For all I know, some would love to change and others won't.
Nice article and topic though!
Hello @akomoajong
I agree with you, most parents out of fear and ignorance will do it for their children.
I suppose those who fight against their sexuality and want to be accepted by a selfish and harassing society.
It's an invention I don't want them (scientists) to ever invent.
Thanks for passing by
Yeah, you're welcome!
