Speaking as a parent of a gay child. Can only say the same thing that I would to my own child. Who is 35 and living a very happy life in USA with her partner and their son, and training as a Paramedic - you can tell I am SO PROUD of them all! There is some seriously good answers on this page, also some very homophobic remarks. Its not clear how old you are, if you are very young, it could be simply a crush on someone of the same sex, that happens to nearly all of us, if we are HONEST. However, some folks know from a very young age so I guess that ONLY you KNOW if you are gay or not.
I do not believe that its a CHOICE - pretty sure you would be living a lie or worse living an unreal life if you attempted to 'stop'.
Be true to yourself - love and embrace your self for being you - what ever. I don't think I have met a gay that I did not like!
Above all, be brave, takes some guts to fit into society - you never know when you are gonna bump into an homophobic idiot, they are normally the ones that have the secret doubts about themselves, that's why they are so unnerved and nasty towards gay folks - Go on the net and find a GAY support group in your area, they are very helpful and understanding even if you are not gay. You can always simply give them a ring for a start to make the first communication - I look on my daughter not so much as GAY - more like SPECIAL - GOOD LUCK!!!

Matt, many have been said but it all come down to you.
I sincerely think being gay was never a thing meant to be. You see, desire can make and create alot of things. Do you now know why some people make love to animals, even chickens sometimes.
It is very sad that people like exploring, though this sometimes brings good things, here, it is a total disaster.
You are a man, Matt and people who do not know your desire, respect you whole as a man, I strongly believe you could make a certain woman very happy. If we all turn gay, think about the future.
Let it go Matt. Sometimes we all get some foolish idea but to try and let it go, is to achieve far greater things.

First of all, you may not be. Do you have a crush on another boy? Sometimes that happens to girls (with girls) and boys especially if they are cool or popular and you look up to them. A lot of people live life being totally straight as they grow out of it. If it goes deeper than that and you think you are definately gay then unfortunately I don't think it's possible. You could try dating girls, if you haven't already, and see how you feel. It's hard for us to tell as you're question could go into more detail but if you know you are for sure then just go with it and don't let it bother you. Accept yourself the way you are and love yourself inside and out. It doesn't make you a bad person.

If you are really gay, and not just avoiding asking a girl for the fear / shame of disappointment, then the answer is no....Being gay is just like being straight, you cant change who and what you are.
Accept yourself first, then others will do the same. Get some counselling. Good Luck

why would you want to? there is nothing wrong with being gay, you might as well ask if you can stop having, say, knobbly knees. i don't know your motivation for not wanting to be gay, and knowing that would be helpful for pointing you in the right direction. with what you're saying herei suggest you first test yourself, look at the girls and boys around you and honestly work out for yourself who you'd rather sleep with. if the boy:girl ratio makes you queer, call the lgbt helpline near you, there is one in most bigger towns, and tell them how you feel. they'll be able to help you learn to live with yourself, decide if you want to come out and to whom (i advise being and out and proud, you'll be a happier person in the long run, but no one can decide that for you), and meet other people the same as you. learn to accept yourself, if you don't there is the danger that you'll end up a very unhappy person who might do himself and others a lot of harm. good luck, never forget that your sexual orientation is only part of who you are and that it certainly doesn't determine your value as a person!

yes.. if you truly want t. being gay is all a matter of thinking. you can stop yourself from thinking unpure thoughts about the same gender. and if you truly want to stop, don't date with the same gender. try going on dates with the opposite sex and see if it is better than being gay. once you find the right girl, you'll realize that being gay wasn't as great as you thought it was, or you might realize the opposite. it'll be hard but if you really want to change your preference, you have to change the way you think and act.

No... If you try its like forcing a left handed perosn to use their right... Messes you up which may not be apparent but that part of you will then manifest itself in a ngative way... Possibly violent or abusive...
Ie you are gay... so what enjoy it... you are less likely to get some girl pregnant as not interested in them.
Gays are cool, often funny, creative and often rich 9less cash on kids and all that) and top party animals.
Also wthey can be good mates with straight guys as can help them pull as tend to have girl mates or you can suggest to the guys... Like they want to convert a lesbian...
Well girls try REAL HARD to convert gays...
And if you mate gets some coaching on how to act gay but be not 100% sure then girls may go all out to convert them and succeed...
Seen girls give a full on lap dance routine... wont work on you but bloody well worked on us... etc...
So chill accept what you are.
And ignore what the would be witch burner cult says as they ahve no real morals
Ie inquisitions

Why would you want to stop being gay, live your life as you want to and stop listening to others who obviously seem to influence your feelings, let go of those who can't accept you and circulate with people who will. Every one is different and people should just accept this.

If you are strong enough you can stop what ever you want, but being gay is a freak of nature, it may not be possible.
