Hmm?

What does that even mean in this context, "latent"?

You mean "unexplored"? If I'm a "latent" homosexual, it just means I'm homosexual, no? So if by "go" you mean "be true to myself", then fine, I guess?

But if I'm bi, or straight, I can't just turn off my attraction to the opposite sex to "go gay".

Please correct me if I'm wrong, non-straight, non-gay people! Is it possible to just flip your attractions off? Sincerely, cis straight male who's earnestly trying to be as woke as possible and educate myself to be accurate and inclusive.
