Well, we might want to stamp out idiocy as a disease too, as it seems that you are infected. What part of you would you like me to eradicate?

going to a gay support group might help.

The American Psychological Association page on homosexuality (link below) may be a good place to start.  There are more links at the bottom of the page.

well if you are really serious and would like the answer ..go to your nearest hospital and ask for a tour of their HIV and aids unit..and ask all the questions you can think of..aids can be harmfull to the soul and to others..its is the death of many and no one will stand up and challenge the medical world..always use condoms and never be afraid to stand and say what and who you  are..it is not a gay disease..it is life..can be passed from all types of sexual acts. know your partner even the silent side of them..everyone has played the field and the time of waiting is now..always be checked and your partner too..be safe and live for tomorrow..go anywhere and you will know at least one person who carries that secret..i have friends who have aids/HIV..and they are wonderful..and i have friends who have died from this same thing...check yourself..and ask the questions in your mind..

I'm sorry to say, no there is no cure for it.  There is a lot of research, but no cure yet.  They are coming out with medications that can help.

yup - as a teenager I was fairly homophobic if I'm honest, I was trained as a dancer and felt branded as 'gay'.  however by about 20 years I'd seen enough scientific evidence and met several gay men in the profession to change my mind.  It's not their fault, it's in their genetic make-up, they have to live with that too, it's not a choice they make.  However, I still wish they wouldn't be so stroppy!! it's a characteristic I've come to laugh at from time to time, you can stop them from a mile away just from the disturbance!  I don't envy them at all, glad I'm straight, got married and had kids.  There are worse people in the world (like religious folk in cults, like Christianity etc)...

Yes, I've read them.  The gays and pro-fags will just deny them though.  Or when all else fails, they'll just call you a hater homophobe.  Like anyone's afraid of a gay!  (Sorry homophobes, you know what I mean)

Of course you can. People can be any age and be gay, just like people can be homicidal maniacs when they're only 4. People are born with all kinds of different mental disorders and homosexuality is just one of them.

HIV IS A REALATIVELY NEW DISEASE. I THINK THAT OUR SCIENTISTS AND MEDICAL PROFFESIONALS ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO TRY AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT CAN HELP COMBAT HIV. WHAT WE NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT THIS WILL TAKE TIME AND MONEY BEFORE A TRULY EFFECTIVE MEDICINE WILL BE MARKETED. GIVE THEM TIME.

You will find if you dig a bit deeper in history than the current right-wing religious norm, homosexuality has existed as a natural state since the dawn of time and has often been a celebrated and more "enlightened" state of existance.  Whether this is true or not is up to you personally to decide, not your neighbors or family.  You could easily find a way to suppress your "gayness" through religious or philosophical means, but deep down it won't make you any less gay and the dichotomy of living a lie will have severe consequences on your long-term mental health.\n\nStart reading everything you can get your hands on, both the "religious viewpoints" and the secular (don't make any decisions without exploring both points of view).  Its ok to be gay, don't be a cliche...

First stop calling yourself Gay or Bi. Then stay away from gay people or at least from their organs. Do away with the gay mannerisms. Become who it is you want to be: A MAN! Your a man now and you want a woman to keep you warm. Go to the STRAIGHT bars. Buy a woman some drinks. Make sure she sees all that money in your wallet. If that doesn't work out, go to the next woman and so on. Think of it as training. You'll find the woman of your dreams and have fun finding her. Have fun. Be happy. Just don't be GAY! \n\nOh, and Tessa...Our sexuality is in our minds, not our genes. Because if it was in our genes, we'd find the gay gene and ERADICATE IT!

People just need to be more tolerant. If being gay is against YOUR religion, don't be gay. But leave everyone else alone. Besides, I have never met a hostile gay person, they don't bother anyone else.

It's true that most members of society didn't really accept gay culture yet but given more time, I'm sure everybody would say, "Who cares!"\nIf a person is gay, let him be himself. It's like being a lesbian too. As daily life gives me more problem I could handle why do I need to care about other people's lives?\nBe yourself and learn to be open minded....that's what the cure to some bigots out there....

Fear and ignorance.\n\nIf a person gets freaked out by the notion that someone around them is gay it's usually because they are afraid that the gay person will see some obvious gay traits that they have and "out" them.  Not only is this an unreasonable expectation to put onto someone, it leads to fear, hysteria, and violence.  \n\nNobody can "make" you gay, and if you are afraid you might have some traits, YOU DO, everybody does, that alone doesn't make you gay (or straight for that matter!)\n\nGender can be graphed on a bell curve, and everyone has a combination of male and female traits.  It's perfectly normal.  I wish the ones who react with fear could get over their irrationality as much as you do!

Of course it's possible.  Gays and lesbians are raised in a society where they have been told that it is wrong generally for years before coming to the realization that they are gay or lesbian.  This is often referred to as "internalized homophobia" (or ego-dystonic homophobia).\n\nAnd for those who need to SCREAM their views, do a little research prior to answering questions based upon your own personal beliefs.  Homosexuality has been seen amongst penguins, beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphis, orangutans (which are not monkeys), dairy cows, chameleons and guppies.
