As most know, there has been a fair amount of controversy in the past few years over whether being gay, etc. is sinful or not, and on whether these people have chosen this path or if they were born with it. I would like to hear the opinions one these "issues" directly from gay, etc. people. Thanks!

It started off with a simple movie, a movie about respect for gay people. i asked myself a question: should i be gay or straight? I chose straight. However, as time wen on, i realised i had feelings for men and realised that it was no choice, no decision of my own. Being gay is not sinful, since love feels right, and we can love, we can care, and we can achieve. I am closeted now and do not know when i will come out, but when i will, i will do it with pride and respect. My love for men, that is my sexuality. My love for people, that is my humanity. I do not hate people who hate me and others like me. Perhaps I shall die for expressing my love, but after all, does love not exist in everyone? For i know, that no matter what, no matter how i change, i will still love. I know my god loves me, and I love him. He cares for everyone, anbd i do not believe a god that created laughter, love, care, could be a spiteful god.
if anyone wants to talk, i am here for you, no matter whta.

I always considered myself "bi-curious" since I became aware of the phrase. I am very much a live and let live person, I don't care what people do in private, and am up for almost any experience.
That said, I think I realized that I was really bi, and not just curious is when I moved into my dorm room freshman year. I had a crush on my roommate, and if the circumstances had been different I may have attempted to act on it. I'm glad now that I didn't, because we are great friends, and lived together for another year or so (before I moved to a new school).
Looking back now, I can identify other crushes that I passed off to myself, as 'curiosity'.

How do I answer this one ? I am a transexual but found out after my operation I was still attracted to women so now I am a trans lesbian. I think it is what you are born with, at least the trans part because while you are going through the process you have to see a phsyhciatrist on a regular basis and mine told me it was down to the genes passed on from your parents. The lesbian or gay part I think is just a matter of what you prefer, men can be a bit rough and tumble ( sorry lads no offence to any of you ) but women are so gentle and nice and soft it far better with a female partner.

Being sinful and being a choice are two different things. What bugs me is why is it even an issue of whether or not it's a choice?
People choose to change their hair color with dyes, they can choose to change their eye color with colored contact lenses, but no one throws big ol' hissy fits about that.
No, nothing has ever been as controversial as sex, sexual practices/preferences , sexual orientation and sexuality.
It's still the biggest taboo society clings to, it's still one of the biggest mysteries we humans still have, and some people don't want to give up that air of mystery without a fight.

Being gay is not a sin, and I have realized that I was different for as long as I can remember. I didn't choose to be gay. And I don't care if I am straight or not. I'm still a good person.

Until I was 20 years old, I had no sexual interest in anybody because of a hormone condition. But after taking hormone therapy I began having sexual dreams about a new friend. Pretty soon I started thinking about him while I was awake and realized that I was in love. Most people discover such feelings at puberty, but I was a late bloomer.

I knew from before it was a conscious thought. I first started experimenting with other girls at the age of six. I didn't ever make a conscious choice to like girl, I just did. (I'm bi, by the way)

regrettably, i think of that's cutting-edge human subculture to be traumatic of what you do no longer understand. Straights, gays, lesbians, transgenders, bisexual- all of them are human. If A=B and B=C, then A=C, which potential with the aid of fact we are all human, we tend to be afraid. whilst we are afraid, we act out. it may replace, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, commencing with each and each human beings. as quickly as we choose for that that's no longer okay to handle others distinctive in basic terms with the aid of fact we don't "get it", then we are able to circulate forward. Lead via occasion.

Personally, I was in 6th grade and I was arguing with a former friend of mine (a girl) and as she spoke I wondered what she would do if I just kissed her to shut her up... she had nice lips.
That's how I knew I liked girls but I do like the occassional guy.

I knew who I was attracted to before I could put it into words... at that age, how could I possibly make a concious choice? Therefore, how could it be wrong and a sin? I had no choice in the matter.
