Movies about straight guys who turn gay?


I'm looking for any kind of story about a heterosexual who turns homosexual, preferably because of trouble with women. Thanks in advance.

This is the only movie I thought of that comes remotely close to the premise in the OP: https://moviechat.org/tt1045772/I-Love-You-Phillip-Morris. But then, doesn't that same premise throw a serious monkey wrench into the "born that way" argument?

I've seen that and don't think it fits, but thanks for trying.

The idea might be fantasy, but there's nothing wrong with fantasy. Think about it a different way. It could even be presented as pro-gay propaganda to suggest that men should turn to other men when the going gets tough. That's how animals do sex selection, sexual opportunism.

I don't know if it works that way. You're either gay or you're not. Anyhow, the closest match i can think of is "Blue Is the Warmest Colour" but that's about lesbianism.

I'm not aware of any movies like that, but that's a pretty common thing in gay lit, usually called "gay for you", where a guy only "goes gay" for that one special guy.

Personally, I'm not a fan of that genre, so I can't recommend any specific titles, but I hope this helps.
