Are people born Gay, or do they turn gay or do they grow into gay?

Its a little of both. Genetics and envionment. Some studies have shown there is an actual homosexual gene that is passed on only through the mother (X chromosome). Even though you have the gene, doesn't make you homosexual. You need to be put in the correct enviroment. And there are epigenetic (if you don't know this word. look it up on www.wikipedia.com)factors also.

You can't really determine your sexuality untill around the onset of puberty, but when that time comes and you're staring at the same teachers that the opposite gender is.,.. there's a clue that maybe you dont swing the standard way.\nBut let me ask you this, if they cant be born gay, that means you couldnt have been born straight, and was there ever a time when you were thinking hmmm, girls or boys, girls or boys...?

Some are born gay, some straight, some bi.  Your sexual orientation is quite often NOT black and white but shades of gray.  Try not to pigeonhole people in one role.  Children, teenagers and adults are what they are, take it or leave it.

coincence. \nno one has a destiny to become gay, it's a result of their choices.

I hope I am not as sarcastic as some others on here and I hope to give you a little insite.  People often find themselves attracted to people of the opposite sex.  It doesn't necessarily mean you are gay. Regretfully it doesnt mean that you aren't either. It is common (especially with teenagers) to have some doubt about your sexual identity.  I think it best to be who are and not let other people label you.  The real you will shine out in the end.

Not all men who turn gay become obviously feminine. Some people keep their same personality, just change their orientation.\n\nOf course, there are certain types who do become more feminine. They may try talking with more of a lisp. Many tend to have a good sense of fashion, thus, dressing well. Others may enjoy doing things that are more female orientated: shopping, clothes, jewelry, stuffed animals, and the like.\n\nBut, you have to keep in mind, there are the types who you would never expect to be gay, because they never change their personality. I have a brother like this. He is still manly, but is more sensitive and understanding then most guys. His partner is very much the same way. They don't stand out in a crowd. \n\nSo... some signs are obvious, and some signs are very subtle. Good luck sorting them out!

I can't give you an awnser base on research or some study all I can do is tell you my opinion base on my own experience as a gay man. People say that they are born gay because they can't remember a time in their childhood where they were straight in other words they can't give you an exactly date and time and say this is when I went from been straight to being gay. Can you remember a time in your life where you were not straight? From your earliest childhood memory of when you became aware of your sexuality were you ever not straight? When I became aware of my sexuality it just happen to have been of the homosexual orientation so I assume that I was born that way and that god made me that way for a reason. I hope this answer's your question if not feel free to ask me anything.

studies have shown that people are born with a sexual preference they dont choose it.  if God didnt want to have gay people then there wouldnt be any.  i am straight but i dont think there is anything wrong with being gay.

People are born gay. It is scientific fact that there are biological differences between homosexual and heterosexual people.

People are born with a certain sexual orientation and fully realize that orientation with puberty.

IS being gay illegal?  mmm.. wasn't aware of that one.\n\nAs for whether or not a person is "born" gay... what is the evidence for this?  Isn't the age of sexual awareness many years after birth?  At least in the teens, right?  And don't we all decide when and where to drop our pants, as well as with whom we share our genitalia?  In other words, the act of sex is always a choice, whether with members of the same gender or members of the opposite gender.  Similarly, the act to NOT have sex at all is a choice as well.

Men do not GO gay. Homosexuals are born that way. There are no more or less homsexuals living in this world then there were 100 years ago. They are in all countries. People just had to hide their sexual preferences a long time ago but thanks to a wider understanding of homosexuality, most no longer have to keep it a secret. It's 'out of the closet'.

I don't believe there is such a thing as being born gay. There has been no scientific data to back it up, though rumors say there is. (If anybody could show me some, from credible doctors, I'd appreciate it). Just having sexual thought about another member of the same sex doesn't make a person gay. Curiosity is natural. This is really one of those "try it and see how it works out" kind of deals

People don't "turn" gay.  You either are or you aren't.  It might take you a while to realize it or come to terms with it, but you don't suddenly become gay.

"becoming" gay does not sound correct. Either you know inside that there is something different when you look at either a male or a female which ever one you prefer. You can't just become gay,,,you actually feel the desire to be with that particular sex...now what you do afterwards to either keep it going or difuse it is totally up to you.

You absolutely can.  Some people don't understand that there's a difference between having the homosexual trait and practicing homosexual behavior.\n\nA homosexual is a person whose instinctual knowledge makes them much more likely to be attracted to persons of the same gender instead of the opposite gender.\n\nHomosexual children usually start having feelings toward people of the same gender around puberty, the same time that heterosexuals start finding the opposite gender attractive.\n\nThis is why it's possible to be gay and a virgin.

Gay people are gay, just as straight people are straight.  You can't "become" either.
