Do you think that you are born gay rather than "becoming" gay?

I was born gay, if it was something I could choose then I could chose between being straight or gay.

 

I think its a genetic thing. I was born that way

 

I really believe that you are born gay! I have lived most of my life trying to rid my self of the gay feelings. I grew up in a very religious house, and prayed every day for these feelings to go away, and the never did, in fact the older I got the more stonger they became. It has takem me several years to get out of religions mindset, and admit to my self that I am gay! I am sure my BF appriciates that as well!

 

I think i either was born this way or because of when i was molested by a female as a very young child. Also when i get any hetro thoughts (like 'he's hot'or i like to flirt with guys) i quickly push them away. I don't want to be confused my whole life. I'm gay and i'm sticking to it! If i start thinking i'll be like well i might be bi, i dunno.... no i'm gay... wait what? so i'm just going to end the whole confusion. i'll never be able to hold a true relationship with a guy no matter how hot they are. So i'll just go with gurls.

 

I was born gay, but lately I have gotten gayer every day:icon_wink

 

Is that good or bad

 

I never flipped a coin to decide my sexuality. I grew up living a normal life. My brothers lived in the same environment, and turned out to be straight. If Satan is tempting me, he has his grips on something other than my sexuality. If it is a phase that I am going through, it seems to be a rather long term phase.

Part of me would like to know that Chromosome n is the determinate that made me gay. The other part of me kind of likes the fact that the fundamental cause can't be determined. Nonetheless, until substantial evidence proves otherwise, I am left to believe sexuality is determined at birth.

 

I don't believe either. I don't believe that there's a "gay gene" and I was born with it, and I don't believe that somehow I turned gay.

To be perfectly honest, I believe that I don't need to know why I'm gay. All I know is that I'm gay, and I'm happy that way. Why should it matter if I know why?

 

i believe that i was born gay and if i was asked if i wanted to b gay or str8 i would probably choose gay

 

Dunno if I was born gay, but I definitely was from an early age. I had feelings for guys since I was at least 12 years old or so.

On a side note, I tried to convince myself for years that I wasn't gay. That screwed me up pretty good throughout the teenage years.

 

I don't really know. I am not sure I was necessarily born gay, but I don't necessarily think I "turned" gay. I don't think being gay is something people choose anymore than people choose to be heterosexual. I don't know. I think it is a lot like asking "which came first, the chicken or the egg."

 

There's probably a mixture of factors playing into it. But, as ampthejazz said:

I kind of feel similar.

Also, 2 people with the same avatar is so confusing.

 

Of course it's good.........right!?!?!?! WW??????

 

I think i've always been gay, BUT the lifestyle (haha that sounds so profesional) has definetly made me MORE gay and more flamboyant and stuff

 

I agree with wtinal. Its such a controversial question. Would you really want science to prove that there is a gay gene? There are pros and cons, but I think the cons outweigh the pros in this case. We'll have problems like people trying to abort their children because they learn that the child is gay before they are even born. Or scientists working out a way to wipe out the "gay gene" or find a cure to being gay.

I'm not really sure I want to know why I'm gay, its hard enough learning to accept that as something you can't really change. Its like saying your favorite color is blue. How does that come about? Why do you prefer blue and not green or red? Is there a "color gene"? Does it matter? No, its just a color, something you find attractive something you like. Thats how I see sexuality.

 

it doesn't look like a thing you'd pick up in your life, so yeah, genetics.
