I think that would make you bisexual or at least bicurious. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just think if you are straight you would not have those thoughts.

No, I think they choose to be that way.\n\nThe LORD said it was an abomination, to be that way, and if HE thought that, then HE would have known it was a choice, instead of something that is a given...as being born that way.\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

That's pretty normal...I think most people wonder about the opposite / same sex depending on their orientation. Be who you want to be, and do what feels right.

How can anyone possibly choose to be attracted to a particular sex?  Ask any Straight person if they can just hop into the sack with the same sex and the answer is going to be NO!  \n\nForced to do it?  Sure!  Most Gay children are forced to believe they are wrong from day one!  They grow up in a Straight home, in a Straight neighborhood, go to a Straight oriented school and live in a Straight oriented society........\n\nNOW COMES THE CHOICE...."Does this person live a life of lies and force their self to supress their feelings of the same sex?  Or do they make that bold decision to face all the odds and do what comes natural to them?\n\nThe problems Gay people face is the constant bombardment of how to define a "Normal Society", ignorance, and fear in people who are in denial of their own sexuality. \n\nIt's much easier to follow a flow geared towards a more larger crowd than to understand those in smaller numbers and who happen to be "different" from their selves.\n\nAlso, most laws are set in motion to safely guard Straight people. Very few are there to guard Gay people. So, with so few laws, ignorance and improper guidance, societies spawn with improper or corrupt leadership in favor of the larger. This, of course, creates a disastrous situation by leaving those in lesser numbers an easy target to bully. Thus hate, prejudice and fear flourish.\n\nDon't let anyone dictate to you on how to live.  If you supress your feelings and decide to "go with the flow" you are only going to live the life that others want you to live which will only lead to depression and the loss of your true self.  Be the beautiful person you are inside...just.....BE YOU!\n\nHere are some helpful websites that you can explore....I hope they will be helpful to you.  \n\nI also want to point out that I did not get my answer from any website.....it was pure common sense.\n\nI wish you luck and success...\n\n:)\nPeace!

You can be gay and still be masculine, just the same as someone can be straight and be feminine. There is nothing wrong with being gay. It sounds like you might be, and at the very least you could be bisexual.

I believe you are born with it.  My cousin is gay, and I swear by the time he was two years old you could tell he was going to be gay.  Before you say it was influence or whatever, let me tell you he was brought up in a perfectly average household, with a loving mom and dad, and a macho big brother.  We are born the way we are born.

Is this a case of striving for the "easier" option?  From your question it seems like you recognise that you ARE gay but would wish for the "simplicity" of a "normal" life. Fantasy can be all consuming, but that doesn't make it REAL. \n\nI would certainly advocate your seeking counsel - to get at the root of your depression and loss of libido.  I wouldn't go so far as to tell you to look to becoming "straight", however.  Should that be the outcome of your treatment, so be it. \n\nYou are what you are: gay, straight or somewhere in between.  Once you both know and accept yourself (and your sexual orientation), you'll be able to move forward with your life, enjoying the journey into old age.  Moreover, you'll look back at this dreadful time and draw so many positives from it - Pride in having survived, emotional resilience and the tools to not only look at life but LOVE IT & LIVE IT!\n\nMy very best wishes to you, in finding your answers.

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.

I would still deffinately be a woman. That is the biggest misconception about gays and lesbians. That the reason we like the same sex is because we truly want to be the other gender. I had a friend who was a guy who used to always say, "I am a lesbian stuck in a man's body." My first reaction was, doesn't that make you straight? I was wrong. He felt like a girl. He felt he had the wrong body, but he still liked women. It was eye opening for me. But it works the other way too. Just because we like the same sex doesn't mean we want to change to conform to what society want's us to be.\n\nI mean sure women have their "women problems" but hey, at least the whole world doesn't know when we are excited.

If you come out, it should be about you, not your friend. You could mention to your friend that you might be gay, but dont be trying to 'convert' him. You are either born gay or you are born straight.

I don't know why I'm gay. I don't remember being given a choice. Perhaps you could tell me when you chose to be straight?

no.  You shouldn't "become" gay or lesbian- you should already be and definitely know it if you are.  A natural desire should push you one way or the other.  Don't fight nature- she's stronger than you.

im straight and i feel that if you can find love in this sick and twisted world, be it with the same or opposite gender, then more power to you. after all, arent you falling in love with that persons soul, spirit, and mind and not their sex?
