Before we are born GOD has our life planned out and we are born the Sexuality  that we are going to be. People now days say we go GAY  or BI because that's what we like , But to be honest guys and girls may say there st8 and act st8  but really be GAY or BI  that is to keep from being called names and even worse. No matter what we are It was what GOD meant for us to be and GOD loves all his children

To be honest (i'm straight) i'm not anymore interested in the lifestyle of my gay friends than i am of the straight ones!  I mean i'll ask them how they are or what they have done over the weekend but nothing i don't ask any one else!!  I think some straight people either: a)secretly wonder if they are missing out on something; either sexually or with the lifestyle/social scene OR b)-and i know lots of people like this-are pathalogically nosey!  They have to ask you questions about anything and absoloutely EVERYTHING!  Its just the way some people are; they cannot function happily without feelin' as if they are included in everything!!!  Don't some people just DO your head in!!!!

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

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.

no, not at all.  it's perfectly normal and natural.  in fact, some studies show that most people are bisexual to some extent, and only very few are either entirely gay or entirely straight all their lives.  (this includes actions and fantasies.)

You recognize a bit of yourself (if youre gay) in others, you can relate to what they are doing.  Straight folks relate to what there gay friends are like, so they might not always be as accurate.\n\nIts not just mannerisms and stereotyped behavior, its presence.

Scientific studies have shown that people are born gay and do not 'choose' or 'turn' gay.

born that way, why would they have so much trouble adjusting to their lifestyle and often at first hoping and wishing they were not gay. the facts speak for themselves.

The Nature vs Nurture arguments are still raging on this topic.\n\nI think there is pretty good evidence that most gay people feel they were born that way.  I think that some people my choose a gay path due to their environment, but that is much rarer.

Doubtless there are gays or gay friendly people who call themselves bisexual to suit the environment they find themselves in.   But that does not describe all of us.\n\nYes we do exist - and it's a shame that bi-phobic attitudes exist in the homosexual world, just as they do among the heteros.  \n\nSexual orientation ranges from the straightest straight to the gayest gay.  What else do you call those of us who fall in the middling range?

It really is simple. People are born with their sexual orientation encoded due to hormonal or genetic influences in the womb (see twins study, finger length study, hypothalamus study... all determined in utero).\n\nSexual orientation blooms during the pubescent years as hormones rage and bodies change. Suddenly girls aren't icky to boys anymore and vice versa. Same with gay teens, they suddenly become aware of desires that they weren't before, although most gay people I've met were aware of their orientation long before but never found the words to describe it.\n\nThe recognition of sexual desire and orientation is just part of growing up.

Dear vBoy,\n   Many people who are primarily attracted to members of their own sex have gone through a period of confusion during which they tried to form a relationship with someone of the opposite sex.  Perhaps they felt a need to live up to the expectations of others, family, society at large, etc.  But if the attraction is almost exclusively toward the same sex, these people eventually may decide to identify themselves as gays or lesbians.  Sexuality is quite fluid and diverse, however, as Kinsey explained.  For example, in Italy it is quite common to meet handsome young men who have relationships with older men, primarily for financial benefit, but later the young men get jobs and marry and have a family.  Are these men gay?  Straight?  The question is irrelevant.  Sexuality is essentially behaviour.  Even those who have early on identified themselves as gay may at some time have relations with the opposite sex.  It might be situational, or it might be out of pure physical and emotional attraction.  If you desire to know more about such matters, there are many groups who can supply information.  PFlag is a good start.  Look up a local chapter of Parents and Friends of lesbians and gays (PFLag).  I hope my answer has helped.

a straight is a hetrosexual, the reason they keep spewing in here is cuz they know we are superior to them and their small minds just cant handle it..as long as we dont let it get to us we will be better for it..what doesnt kill us makes us stronger..

Well, if people would use common sense, they would realize that being born "Gay" isn't logical. Why would a species be born attracted to the same sex? Can they reproduce? \n\nMost species on this earth, are born to reproduce and create others like themselves. In order for this to happen, there needs to be a Male and Female species and a attraction to the opposite sex. This is how every species on this earth is created. \n\nI have heard thousands of people talk about genetic research and how it proves that Gays are born Gay. Genetic research also proved that cloning was possible, and look how that turned out.\n\nI have also heard many people talk about how their cat or dog was seen having sex with another of the same sex. I've also seen a dog eat it's own waste too. Animals can become confused just like humans, although I assume that Humans should have more sense. \n\nSo why do we have Gays and Lesbians? Well, actually it is very simple. Things that happen to a person, wether it's at a very young age or in adulthood, reflect on how that person thinks. Many have been abused in some way or another. Either by being molested as a child, or treated as an outcast when they were young. Many grew up in broken homes and were without one of their biological parents. Many were not taught how someone of their gender should behave. There are many different reasons, and what usually happens is this. Individuals who have not had the so called "Normal Life" will seek acceptance from those who are similar to themselves and this is normally the same sex gender, because they easier to relate too. A bond is created and the trust and affection they feel towards each other for accepting one another, becomes Love. This kind of Love is stronger than most people realize, because it fills the void that someone in our society has created. Someone, Sometime, Somewhere has done something to each of these "Gay" people and caused their lives to change forever. \n\nThis is where "Gays" and "Lesbians" came from, and there's nothing we can do to change it. There will always be different types of people, but our society created this one. \n\nA Gay person can chose to live a Straight lifestyle and be happy. A Straight person can also chose to be Gay if they want to and live happy also. How? Because they are both Human Beings with feelings, and feelings can change. If feelings couldn't change, there wouldn't be any such thing as a divorce. \n\nI have also heard the remark many times about why would a person chose to be "Gay", since our society hates "Gays" and "Lesbians"? The answer: Many didn't chose to be "Gay". Situations in a persons life can alter their feelings towards certain beliefs. For example: Would you chose to be with your abusive biological family or a loving adoptive one? Your instincts tell you to stay with your biological family but your feelings tell you to go to the adoptive one because they won't hurt you and will love you.\n\nI'm sorry this is so long, but it seems that there are so many people out there that don't look outside the box or they refuse to see beyond their way of thinking. Hope this helped you to understand in some way why the world has Gay people.

the line between homosexuality and heterosexuality is not a point a to b thing. its a continuum, and yes, id oes  change over time.\nSome people really are not attracted to the same sex, even with all the booze in the world. But I would say that as a species we are curious, so it is in our nature to experiment.\nI live in a same sex union and i was previously married to a man, before i came to terms with my orientation. I was in denial. Like many are who will likely blast you for asking this question ;)

No one "becomes" gay. Sexual identity is determined by genetics, not personal preference. Being gay does not mean only sleeping with someone of the same sex, but loving them. Think about the way a man loves a woman, and why he doesn't love his best friend the same way. Being gay is the same thing, only with different genders. A person who is gay goes through puberty and realizes they have an attraction for the same sex, yet many gays state that they sensed they were "different" since they were children as young as five. Sometimes, people change their preference, but it is due to brain chemistry and not outside forces (this is why praying and porn do not work to change sexual identity.)\nMany straight men and women are afraid watching a gay film or hanging around gays will make them gay, but it's not true. Otherwise, a gay could become straight by hanging around straight people!

i think just as the first person, that we as homosexuals are attracted to the same sex as heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite sex.\n\nhave heterosexuals chosen their lifestyle or are they born that way?  most will say that they are born that way.  as a straight man is inherently attracted to women. they probably can find another man good looking, but does not go further with any action of sex with him. Why? because he is not Sexually attracted to him.  \n\nSame as a gay man, we can find a women absolutely gorgeous but does not want to have sex with her. \n\nWe as humans can recognize beauty that can surround us (as with other people) but to be sexually turned on is something that is a biological feature within us. Any person can physically have sex with anyone we choose. for example,  a straight man can physically have sex with another man but is he gay? or a gay man can physically have sex with a women is he straight? I think that sexuality is a very deep subject that has a ton of variables that can not be simply categorized in to it is this because of that.\n\nhistory has shown that homosexuality has been around for as long as sex has been around.  knowing this i have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is a biologic thing.
