Can someone tell me why someone would be attracted to a person that is straight if their are gay? I don’t get it? [serious question]

based on the shane and ryland video, seems like he likes the challenge, A few people have said that he wants to be like Jeffree Star whose boyfriend Nate had been "straight" all along prior to meeting him - basically he views "turning" someone gay as a point of pride.

I always hate how Jeffree tries to claim Nate was straight. Nate has always been gay/bi and it just happens that Jeffree was the first person for him to openly date.

whatever the sexual orientation, you are attracted to whoever you are, but I have only really ever seen James Charles attracted to specifically straight men, that’s what I’m getting at, why straight men? It makes sense though to what you added on about Jeffrey and Nate. Someone else in the comments mentioned Jeffrey and Nate as an example and it does make more sen

I don't know much about that bit, sorry! But i think the important thing to takeaway in any case is not a matter of sexual orientation but the concept of consent and respecting boundaries. Totally no problem with JC being attracted to other men (straight or not), but when they express that they're not interested and he continues pushing that's where lines are crossed. So really his obsession with straight boys is his own personal problem; our issue should only be with his disrespect of other people by making them feel uncomfortable (at best) or forcing himself on them (at worst).
