I think there is probably no one single cause. To me, each person is different and has their own set of circumstances and characteristics.
I think it's quite odd to want to exclude the opinions of the gay community because they would be the most affected by such an event/possibility. They are the people I'd be most interested in hearing on this topic.
I think I have little or no place in deciding over the choices of another, particularly essential, structural ones like this is.
I could say "if I was gay, I'd do x". But I'm not so I can't be pretending I know what someone in those shoes would do. I imagine even among the gay community, some would be in favour of getting "cured", while others would abhor it.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
