Is being gay a choice?

Ok i already know the answer to this one becuase i am gay. I just want to see what others think. There is no way that being gay is a choice. I would have never chosen this for myself. I would have wanted to fit in and be like everyone else. That is what all kids want. I am 18 now and have known i was gay since a very early age (like 10). There is no way this is a choice because at this age i knew nothing about sex.....i just knew that i was attracted to boys.

No being gay is not a choice your born gay. You not feel ashamed nor different.
Your blood the same color as a straight persons.
You cry just like straight people cry.
Your just as special as any straight person so feel blessed that YOU were choosen to be gay.

I don't know if people are born gay, or maybe eternal pressure later in life cause people to be gay. I know that it isn't something a person chooses for themself and I know this because I never had to choose I always was attracted to women. So if it was not something I had to choose most others probably didn't either.

Acting upon any feelings gay or straight is always a choice

Comments on this post
CaptainRich agrees: Totally agree. We all make choices.
chris_in_orbit disagrees: Yeah, so if your gay you should be denied the choice of acting on the same instincts straight people make to get into heaven. Truly blessed you are Chuck.
s_cianci agrees: Exactly. "Acting upon" are the key words here.
Wondergirl disagrees: You chose to be attracted to women? You really had to think about it?
incognito disagrees: "Acting upon feelings" is always a choice, the reason for having those feelings is not.
americangayboy disagrees: Once again the good father said something pointless...can't say I'm surprised!
stonewilder disagrees: Are you saying you could be gay if you made the choice to? I am 100% straight I could neve chose to be gay 'cause I'm not!

Being gay is much more complicated that a simple choice. The question most people have is, nurture or nature. In my opinion, it's nature; people are born gay which, to me, is obviously a normal thing in nature that just...happens. The nurture theory just does not add up to me. There are so many children born into straight couples that become gay, vice versa. If you gay, BE PROUD! I hate it when people who are opposed to gays argue that they "chose" their sinner lifestyle and all of the BS...it's nonsense!

Wondergirl agrees: And my gay sil and her partner adopted a baby boy who (wow!) grew up and turned out to be straight!

I respect you answer Chuck but I have to disagree. Being gay is more than just acting upon "feelings," it's who the person is. As straight individuals, we don't act upon our feelings of being straight, we just are.

So if the bible said it was wrong to be straight. Could you be happy giving up your hetrosexual lifestyle for god and settle down with a man?

Comments on this post
Fr_Chuck agrees: But it does not, it does say that homosexual acts are
Leidenschaftlich für Wahr disagrees: Wow. "So if the bible said to kill people and rape children would you do it?" what a stupid remark... The Bible doesnt... end of subject.

I don't believe that its a choice. I believe that you are born the way you are. I think that being gay is like being born with brown eyes you can't help the way God chose to put you together.
