What can I say to people that tell me that my sexuality can be "cured" or fixed?

You may never be able to fully get ride of the people who disagree with who you are. It's important that through all the hate you continue to accept who you are. You can try explaining to them that this is who you are and if they aren't okay with that then that's their fault.

you can tell them it can't be cured, because it is not a disease and should not be treated like one

Ignore them. Just be who you are and do not care of what mean people say

Don't let them get to you. You can't "cure" a straight person, and its the same for any other sexuality.

You can tell them that this is your choice and you are the one that is suppose to choose whether it should be fixed or not. And you accept that this is you so they should learn to accept that this is you and see how happy u are to be where you are.

Tell them that things that happen naturally to you can't be fixed..tell them you are fine with the way you are and they are no one to cure aur fix your sexuality..its the way you are and that shouldn't be changed

That being homophobic is more of a disease than being open with who you feel love for. You can't cure something that is perfectly fine.

Tell them to grow up. I don't care what it is you do this type of thing can't be cured unless it's something that changes within you not changes that are forced upon you. It's possible to be gay and then become straight it happens a lot, but that's something that you wanted and decided to do, It's completely absurd that someone would say that your sexuality can be cured and or fixed.

Tell them that there is no "curing" or "fixing" your sexuality. You know exactly who you are and that you are sure of your sexuality choice.

there are a few ways to go about this: 1. just block them out 2. that's just your opinion, my sexuality is never gonna be fixed, cos it cant be you are born the way you are, and no body can change that.
