We don't "go" gay. Many of us have felt this way for as long as we can remember. It may look like we "go" gay because we finally are fed up with hiding who we truly are from those that we love. We get tired of living a lie.

Being gay is about one thing sex and having sex with members of the same sex as you are. That's the only difference between straight and gay. Whether it's right or wrong depends on your individual beliefs and values. I think it's wrong but I'm not going to push my beliefs onto others by making it a law. I also think it's a mental disorder equal to any other type of addiction or obssive- compulsive disorder and could be treated with therapy if the person chose to but many people have led happy lives with this disorder. Yes, I know the American Psychiatric Association has removed it as a disorder from their books but because it was the popular and political thing to do. It doesn't make it true.

First of all, the soul has no sex. It is a ball of God essence about the size of a large marble. In order to face challenges we are brought here in physical form and required to make decisions on our own, for better or for worse, until we learn that the answer to all of Life's questions (to Love always).
A couple is truly in Love if they could refrain from sex for the rest of their lives and STILL be willing to die to save the other person's life.
That's Love.
Most people know nothing of Love and are in some sort of physical arrangement (convenience, security, lust, etc.) that they call "marriage".
In God's eyes, all of these "marriages" are travesties and spiritually meaningless.
That said, which do you think, in God's eyes, is worse, a "married" Fundamentalist couple whose purpose for union is to appease physical lust, and being of the same "faith" OR two souls who, for reasons that they cannot possibly explain, are irresistably attracted to each other and who DO love each other so intensely that if they lost the ability to be physically intimate they would STILL stay together and be willing to die for each other?
Your question, as you posed it, is a spiritual child's perspective of Love (which often isn't Love but usery) coupled with an implied judgment of people that your parents, elders, pastors or leaders have labeled as evil.
The people who taught you to pose this question in this way have forgotten that:
1. We are not supposed to judge others and...
2. Jesus mandated that we do ONLY two thing - Love God and Love each other completely and without reservation.
How does your question show Love without reservation to those who are gay since their condemnation is laced throughout the wording of the question?
You have asked a question that Jesus never thought important enough to pose.
And in concluding, I must admit that I am NOT gay. I am just asking you to rethink the premise that you or anyone else has the right granted to them by Jesus or God to reach into the soul of others and judge them.
Something to think about when you're a little spiritually older and can think for yourself.

Being gay is not a choice. It is a proven fact that the source of being gay is from a chemical imbalance between the X and Y chromosomes during pregnancy's fertilization. Gay people aren't any different than any girl liking a boy or a boy liking a girl. Boys just like boys and girls just like girls.

I'm not gay but I feel compelled to answer this question.You are obviously uninformed about this issue. Homosexuality
is not a choice of lifestyle. It's cause is genetic and is often
hereditary.In the past, often homosexuals have married and had children in an attempt to fit in to society. Ironically,some of them passed on this trait to future generations.
After all,you're sexually attracted to someone or you're not.
Do you think you could ever choose to be attracted to a friend
of your own gender? Think about it.

Most people do not "go gay," but realize that they are gay, which can be a very long process. It is not always easy to realize that you are so different from other people and from other people's expectations of you. However, it is right that they realize this and accept it, rather than living a lie.
There are some people whose orientation changes, sometimes very late in life, but they are rare.

Ooh, I think I will be gay today. Dude, want to put a dick up my butt?
Oh please You are born with the tendencies (I was not, I am heterosexual). But, like do you think about having a male organ put in you? Or putting it somebody else? You do it.
Nothing goes on. They freaking do it because that is what their minds are wired for.
It isn't a matter of deciding "Oooh, I think I will be gay today". Except for the bisexuals anyway. Them, I don't understand.

Homosexuality is a choice and there is NO scientific evidence to support this hypothesis. There are ONLY Theories! The Scripture is very clear on this issue. Although most individuals whom do not want to give up particular sins will look to society (instead of scripture) to find validation, acceptance and tolerance because they need it to function in society. If you believe the Bible it states (and I am only giving just a couple of passages) Romans 1: 24-28
Therefore God gave them over to the sinful desire of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do what ought not to be done.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor HOMOSEXUAL offenders, nor theives nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
So, scripture is clear on this issue and these are just some of the scriptures which discuss this act and are included with all immoral and abomidable acts. One must acknowledge that what they have done is wrong and ask for forgiveness. This does not mean that one can easily turn away from such sin, repent for Mankind is fallible and God knows this...it is for this very reason that HE sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross and conquer death for us so that we may live. Bottom line...God would not condemn anyone for a sin if they have no choice in the matter for HE is a fair and just God. Therefore; any of the immoral acts and abominations which God lists is a CHOICE. People can, have and will continue to dispute what scripture says because they need an excuse to enjoy and continue in their illicit behavior as well as a reason to feel accepted. It is more important what God thinks of you rather than man's opinion of you. Everyone will answer for their discretions no matter what they may be, and those whom have asked sincerely in their hearts for forgiveness will be forgiven.
I am only quoting scripture, so if anyone is offended; you are offended by what God thinks. I did not write scripture. I only TRY and follow it. Don't shoot the messenger!

I am not gay but have loved relatives that are. They are born this way just as you are born the way you are. That doesn't make them this way or that just loved by family and friends.
