I'm not sure about the gay/straight metaphor, but as I understand it, you are spot-on about the Turing Test; it's simply a thought experiment.
I agree with this article in general, and I believe it's highly probable that we'll have human-equivalent imitation thinking, probably sometime soon, but it won't be true thinking, and we won't learn much from doing it. It's just ELIZA plus plus. I hope (and fear) that I might be wrong.
