You can't turn gay or straight. You are who you are. No "group" is going to change who you are attracted to. What is normal? Everyone has different opinions on what "normal" is. A believer in "god" may tell you it is wrong to be homosexual, while a non-believer or maybe even an open-minded believer will tell you it isn't wrong.\n\nYou need to decide for yourself how you really feel. It is possible to fall in love with a person regardless of their gender. It is possible to not have a sexual orientation. I don't feel that I do. I believe I fall in love with whom I fall in love.\n\nIf your country is willing to punish you for who you are, there is always a possibility of leaving.

Dude, really try and get some help.  You clearly have issues that need attending to.  If you're gay or not, this silliness isnt healthy for you.  Not passing judgment, but clearly this is a cry for help.

Yes. Sad but yes. I lived in the middle east  and because  of my sexuality i had to  come back to the States.I was tired of feeling that i couldn't come out to society there.In my opinion,  Islam is a very strict religion, so that is why  the society there intend to take it more difficult than others.

Sounds like your a curious person, tolerant of what you don't really understand, and you aren't homophobic. I would hazard a guess that one day you'll end up married, maybe with children. And throughout you're life you may have gay or bisexual male friends who you don't chastise just because of who they are, which would be very good of you. But then again, who knows what the future holds. One thing I do  know is that your curiosity will subside in time. It is very mature to "try" something in a safe environment (looking at "gay" stuff) where no harm can come to you.

Light b, you have the freedom to be anything you want to be.  Your choices are like the steering wheel of a car.  Each choice you make in a certain direction moves you more in that direction.  You are not a victim, you are a free spirit.  If you don't want to be gay, then don't make choices that are gay choices...make choices that are more in line with who you really are.  Don't let any one else tell you who you are, be who you are and be authentic.  Feelings are like the weather, they move and flow along, change, multiply...they are not constant.  If you have certain feelings fine...they will just move by if you don't grab onto them.  They can be like clouds just passing through.

It's bullshxt. I totally agree. Who are straight people to say what gays can and cannot do? Are we not people? This country is TOO fxcked up.

I don't think the government accepts gay marriage in any form yet, you will have to wait until gay people are given the right to be miserable and need a prenup!

There must be some LGBT communities, organizations, groups, book clubs, etc in your area.  I suggest doing a search online for just that.  I would do it for you but I don't know where you live.  Good luck!

First take a deep breath. Now repeat after me..."Just because I'm not a jackass about homosexuals does not make me gay". I belive you are putting way to much pressure on yourself. You could have issues with women from your childhood or something or you could just not have met the right woman. As to your question  I don't put people in boxes, you don't have to be gay, bi, or straight. I'd say more but this is an open disscusion, so if you want to talk just e-mail me.\nPS Ignore the gay bashing that will probaly be in some of the answers.

It is totally possible to hold Christian beliefs and be gay. It's just not possible to believe that God accept's your lifestyle. The Bible makes it clear that same sexes coming together is an abomination. either give up the penis or Prepare to swim in the lake of fire dude.

They are not supposed to accept them.

Well Cody, many people are small minded and think their way of doing things is the only way and the right way and anyone living differently is wrong in their eyes. Discrimination for any reason is just ignorance. Any discrimination you get from jobs because of your sexual orientation is illegal and you can file a discrimination lawsuit against them. If it's really bad for you where you live, perhaps you should consider moving to the city if that's possible for you. Try not to let what other people say bother you. Stay as positive as you can and be true to yourself.

Not surprising that the "gay problem" is almost negligible in asian countries, since homosexuality is punishable by death in most of these.  You rarely get true statistics from the closet. As for the African community, you need to go back to anthropology class.  There are a lot of African tribes where homosexuality is acutally encouraged, or openly accepted as part of the social climate.  In college we studied several of these communities - in one in particular, the right of passage for a boy to become a hunter or warrior is for him to drink the semen of the strongest male member of the tribe.  You think he drinks it from a champagne glass?   It is obviously a little bit of both - genetics and circumstance. Sexuality is as individual as fingerprints - no two people are truly identical in their proclivities.  Whose to say one is right and one is wrong? We're just different, as nature intends us to be.

Yes, I am currently living in another country and it does get alienating sometimes. Despite the hype about "Americans don't have any culture", that is really not true. When you live in other places you are shocked by some of the cultural norms in other countries. Certain things that are legal in other countries are illegal in the US.

If you're gay, then that IS normal for you.  Without knowing which culture/country you are in, I can't advise on the rest of your question.

I am on the way over to pick you up. Just give me your address so I wont drive around all night lost. LOL  As far as being gay why do you need or want to know? Are you gay? Looking for a date? And your family is not very considerate if you cant get up and they wont help
