A lot of gay people that I know have done similar self induced attempts at turning themselves straight again because especially gay people being raised in the church there they hate the fact that they're gay. So if you do have some queerness in you whether that's gay by whatever, and you start exploring that sexuality through gay porn, that can be a window or an insight into part of your sexuality. Just like gay guys who are fully gay watching straight porn, it's not going to appeal to them. That's just not how it works.
