H.K. tycoon offers $65 mn to marry off gay daughter

A Hong Kong tycoon refuses to believe that his daughter married her lesbian partner of 7 years in France, and in his denial is offering US$65 million to any man who can swoop her off her feet and out of her lesbianism.

I have two questions for you WSO:

1: Would you change your sexual preference for $65 million?

2: If not, would you marry a woman (or man), assuming no divorces or cheating, for that amount of money?

There's no way I'd force myself to be attracted to a man for my whole life. If you're a straight man, imagine having to forced to be in love with a man, that must be how gay men feel when people try to force them into being straight, which is why people who are still anti-gay should progress their minds a little bit, but thats a conversation for another day. No amount of money could make it bearable for me to be engaged romantically with a man for my whole life.

However, for $65 million, I think I can say safely that I would totally do some gay shit if it was a one time thing...

For $65 million I would seriously consider a month of that same gay shit.

The daughter's subjective experience is that men who desire lots of money will treat them like disposable pleasures, so father tries to ?change her sexual orientation? by .....attracting the attention of guys that want lots of money.

Sure, whatever

EDIT: amazed that I got poo for this. Taliban is on WSO?
