I've heard one research call it the "Yuck" factor. How some are overtly repulsed by the concept. Myself I think it derives from some same sex attraction (its not a bell curve, rather a saddleback curve in terms of distribution). What it means is that many of us do have significant attraction to the opposite sex. Given the hostility much of our culture has towards homosexuality, such feelings are discouraged and are typically actively suppressed. So yes I think he may realize he has to change. I hope he does. But sending his unwilling kid to conversion therapy suggests that he won't.
