Sex change pill.
Volokh and coconspirators are writing about hypothetical pills to change one's sexual preference, for example to be more or less interested in motss, or in kids (little goats or little boys.)
He refers to some of those studies that have "cured" gays.
My take on this, as an out bisexual since 1978, is that the number of people who identify as bisexuals is small, compared to the number of people who have had bisexual desires or behaviors. Most bisexuals end up identifying as either straight or gay, and are in the closet. Given incentives, a closeted bisexual might change closets, from gay to straight or vice versa. The cost of doing so would be less than for a monosexual. My hunch is this explains the cured gays. They weren't gay and they aren't cured, but aside from that...
