Ignoring the ridiculousness of her answer, I actually find the wording of the question rather interesting as it specifically asks about changing one's orientation rather than being willing to sleep with a celebrity of the same sex. That's a much bigger picture when you think about it.
On the one hand, the question might be taken to suggest that sexual orientation is a choice which I don't believe it is. On the other hand, it could also suggest that sexuality is not as clear cut as many would suggest, which I do believe to be the case. I'm by no means an expert on sexual identity of course, so please take what I say with a grain of salt.
It is a shame, though not surprising that most of the responses seem to be from women.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, my answer (or one of them anyway) is John Barrowman. Tell me you're shocked.
John would be my answer as well. It would be complicated, though, because I am a straight woman and so I would need both a sex change *and* a change of 'orientation'! Maybe I will just stick with changing nothing and crushing on Nine / Christopher Eccleston...
