Aaron, who is generally a very open-minded and accepting person, is very different when it comes to the issue of homosexuality. While having a talk with his friend Elena, he says "I know that some people think that being gay is something you are born wit
but I just don't agree. I think it is a choice, and I know that research has found that to be the case." Since Elena just read Chapter 11 of your textbook, what would she be most likely to say to Aaron? a. Aaron, I knew we got along for a reason. The research is very clear that people who try hard enough can, in fact, change from being homosexual to being heterosexual. b. Aaron, you silly boy! The only way a person can change their sexual orientation is if they have a procedure to surgically alter the lateral geniculate nucleus of the hypothalamus, because that is where sexual orientation is controlled! c. Well, Aaron, you are only partially correct, because only with the use of hormone pills can a person truly change his or her sexual orientation. d. Aaron, you are such a nice guy, but you are wrong. There is really no evidence that a person can either choose or voluntarily change their sexual orientation.
