The focus of this post is solely on the social ramifications if homosexuality were able to be cured.

I was reading that the neurological construction of a homosexual man's brain is similar to a woman's and the neurological construction of a homosexual woman's brain is similar to a man's. This doesn't make it curable, though, because it is based on the actual physical structure of the brain. I think it does more to justify homosexuality.

Compare and contrast someone with undiagnosd schizophrenia shooting and killing 12 people in a movie theater with the HIV positive who (knowingly positive) goes out and infects a greater number without feeling any guilt.
I think they would just dismiss it as lies even if it was proven.
I never understood how people say your "born that way".
If a man is sexually attracted to animals he is mentally ill,
If a man is sexually attracted to underage girls he is mentally ill,
If a man is sexually attracted to "_________" he is mentally ill,
But if a man is sexually attracted to another man he was born that way??
No, I believe he is mentally ill, just like all the other examples.

Essentially, you are asking gays if they are comfortable within their own skins. That's not a fair question, as it does not take into account the issues that many have to deal with in being unaccepted in a sometimes harsh social environment. So your query is actually "Are you tired enough of taking crap that you wish you'd never been born gay?"
I think you ought to have a chat with your gay friends, first.

Why in an over populated world, would it be beneficial or ethical to 'cure' homosexuality?

Just curious, would you apply the same principle to parents who use hormonal treatment on a child who thinks he/she is transgender to facilitate said transgender change?
