No, apparently they do not exist (not in this case)

Is it possible to be "formerly straight"?

As I stated, explicitly 'in this case'.
I meant to say, this site doesn't add anything to the truthfullness of whether there are or are not any ppl who changed that way. In other words, this site smells fishy.

So it should be "formerly sane people"?

No formerly straight, bi or gay people I know of.

One of my mates, who is 25, has just decided to let us know he is gay
but he was always gay. He was just too scared about what we might
think to admit it.

If I woke up tomorrow and thought I fancied sex with a man, that would
probably make me formerly straight, since the very thought of it is
incredibly unpleasant.
Even then, you could argue that I'd just been in denial all this time.

My Auntie was married twice, but has been living as a lesbian for the last decade or so.

Denial, bi-sexual, or "conversion"?

I personally think the terms "gay", "straight" and "bisexual" are inherently narrowminded. It's like saying there's black, white and only one shade of grey. They are a convenient way of referring to someone that sleeps with either sex or both but problems arise when their preferences change and I think people are too quick to assume homosexuality is purely the result of disposition or purely a choice.

I think it's likely that people close to the middle of the heterosexual/homosexual "scale" (if I may) might be affected in such a way that their preference changes. What disturbs me a great deal more is the idea that homosexuals, faced with the difficulties of gaining acceptance in the community might have retreated into denial. I don't know if that's possible; I really hope not.

I couldn't agree more.

There's Black, there's White, and all the Grey's are bisexual. ;-)
There's different shades, sure, but grey = bisexual. :-)
