I never understood statements like those. What point are they making? Because it sounds like, by extension, any heterosexual man will turn gay upon meeting the right guy.

yeah, it's telling that the logic is always that the gay person will become (more) straight, but they don't really want to consider the reverse (that a straight person could "become" gay by their logic). It's a clear example of "heteronormativity" - the assumption that heterosexuality is conventional, normal, good, desirable, etc. and same-sex attraction is unnatural, abnormal, subversive, or otherwise bad.
they might say something like "that's what my brother said until he met his gf"
and the worst part is that a gay person implying the reverse "oh, you think you're straight? well that's what my brother said until he met his boyfriend" doesn't have the effect, because people genuinely believe gayness is illegitimate, a fad, etc. and straightness is the default that we eventually will return to when we wake up and realize we were fooling ourselves or something
it makes sense for a society that values heterosexuality, and that stigmatizes homosexuality
Considering a guy has told me this too, this must be the point they’re trying to make,
Maybe one day pigs will fly
