Daer Susan,
You are quite right.
The only people I know who have changed their orientation are Christian.
Actually, there' s problem with the vagueness of the term 'orientation.' Are
we talking about outward behaviors or are we talking about inner SSA i.e
same sex attraction? These guys don't deny that sometimes they feel SSA but
they interpret it as satan's temptation and, therefore, refuse to give in.
Best,
Ian

On line I have encountered one non-active gay Baha'i who said for him it
was
a choice of priorities - his desires or God's command; his wishes or God's
will. He chose God because he knew he would spend his life in eternity and
earthly life was only the short-haul. Brave guy.
But that didn't change his orientation did he? I presume he simply
made the choice to remain celibate.
