Same reason other people like being straight.  It's being who you are that makes you happy.

Different reasons:\n\n*They've been taught to hate them\n*They are hypocrites who claim to love God but ignore his word to love one another and not judge\n*They fear what they don't understand\n*They focus only on the sexual aspect of the relationship refusing to understand that there is much more to any relationship, gay or straight\n*They believe that all gays/lesbians fit into stereotypes and don't realize that there are gays and lesbians in every walk of life and you find them in all kinds of families - even the so-called "conservative" ones.\n*They don't realize that if all of the gays and lesbians had never been born many of the masterpieces of Literature, Art and Film would NEVER have been created\n*They are afraid that if they allow themselves to like a gay or lesbian person it might mean they too are gay and would suffer being ostracized\n*They are just unhappy, hateful people who need somebody or some group to hate

As a lesbian, I feel most comfortable around gay men.  Here are my reasons:\nStraight Men:  I feel objectified.  I hate feeling like I am some form of entertainment to them.  I know that not all straight men look at lesbians that way, but that stereotype os so widespread, it sneeks in there.\nStraight Women:  I feel like I am being judged or like they are not being themselves.\nLesbians: Physical attraction to some....can make certain situations uncomfortable.\nMan, I just realized that I have a lot of issues to work out...I have to stop putting all people into groups and doing to them what I hate them doing to me!! I suck!

Because women are naturally attracted to men and vice versa. Lesbianism is a corruption of nature but they can only fight nature so much. As you said, in the end they end up looking for a substitute for a man.

you could be a lesbian if you want to ''do things'' w/ girls but you're actually normal. guys look at guys and girls look at girls. it's all normal! We all just wonder what it would be like to be him/her. but if you might have unexplainable feelings for girls then you might be a lesbian. but there is nothing wrong w/ that. gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are people too. we should not judge other people who just like the opposite sex or both sexes.

Do you attracted to people of the same sex?  If so, you are probably gay.

I myself BI!!! and very proud of it. I think that as this world is more open to Homosexuality that people will not be afraid to explore the same sex. I think that being Bi Gay or Straight is a very beautiful thing. Love is Love and that's all that matters.

You're right. People are too black-and-white about sexuality. They don't accept anything in between - either someone is straight and would not even want to touch someone of the same sex or someone is gay and would not even want to touch someone of the opposite sex. Reality is, of course, far more complex than that. We spend too much time defining what people are and too little time trying to understand who they are.\n\nI think the lesson here is that we probably should go to people we care about - and not the masses on Y!A - when we genuinely need advice!

because that is what turns them on the most or turns them on at all, a lot of gay people are born that way but not all\nmost people are by Nature multisexual \ncircumstance ,conditions , opertunity and education or peer influence,decides sexuality,\nalthough some are more macho or more efeminate(for both the sexes)we are made up of 4 sexualities,not 2 as is generally believed or taught.xx,xy,yx,yy. .X being male and y being female\n\nif two man grew up on a dessert island alone ,the chance that they would have sex together is very big

I say to each their own.I don't think that they're nasty and there's nothing wrong with being gay.People at a young age are discovering their sexuality and some are straight while others are gay.I have had gay friends before and I treated them equally as I did with my straight friends.As long as they don't go into detail about their sex life,that's fine.Some people prefer their own sex instead of the opposite.

As a gay person I can honestly say that I don't know. It just is the way I feel naturaly. Like being streight is natural for you. We don't ask to be this way and life would be much easier for us if we had a choice but we don't it is just our nature

Because so many people have been brought up that being anything but  straight is wrong. I have very different opinions on that. I'm bisexual, i think that you can make your own decisions with out somebody else questioning you. It's your own sexuality, it's your own choice.

Every individual has a time called a critical age of decision making, specially when we are talking of gender. As a homosexual, i already enjoyed myself being a gay because my peers had accepted me already with the exception of my family who kept restricting me from  becoming a gay during my childhood days.... That's the saddest thing in life that when you are happy and contented with who you are, there are others trying to pull you down because they can't accept you for being who you are. I believe that when there is acceptance there is always love in the world but we cant stop them from making it as their point of view. But we can prove to them in some way that we are not a social menace in the society but a big help for development. If you love being a gay, then be proud of it... Don't let others turn you down because you have a unique personality...... Enjoy yourself as a homosexual to the fullest and start doing activities as a gay to develop it more!!!!! Don't hide it but accept that you are a gay.... Feel free because thats the only way to enjoy the world.... Always remember that other people also enjoying their gender, then why not you? Go for it!!!! Accept yourself to the fullest and be proud of it...... Gays are talented and creative and you must be proud that you are one of us because nowadays gays are very known to people all over the world in terms of fashion and design.... Always remember that being a gay is always a plus factor knowing and believing that they are more talented than men and women......     Remember  man and woman combine together and that is you!!!!!!
