Do God made me gay?

Question

Do God made me gay or is it my own choice that i wanna be gay as a person?

Answer 1

It's not your choice, you were born gay like I was born straight. It has nothing to do with God (especially for those who, like me, don't believe it exists). And it's not a choice either: you can't choose your features, can you? I mean some of us were born blond, some others with blue eyes, some others with dark skin, some straight, some gay, some bisexual; nothing's wrong with any of these features! Just be always proud of who you are and stop feeling guilty for being who you are: we're all the same, God or not God, no human being is better/superior compared to another. Peace.

Answer 2

Oh how the bigots and homophobes love this question, you've got them all coming out of the woodwork.
Do you remember making the choice to be gay? No, well I thought not because you are what you are and are born gay. If you believe in a mythical God then you could say that he or she made you gay. Just enjoy your sexuality and don't worry how it came about. Perhaps this God is gay and having fun with the straights.

Answer 3

Well Mike I personally don't put allot of stock in god . Then again I could be wrong . Assuming there is a god I believe he made us with the gift of choice . We choose who we are in all aspects of our lives . Its the same as asking . Did god make me a smoker ? Did god make me a football fan ? If you choose to live a gay life style . Then so be it that is between you and him no one else . Good luck

Answer 4

This one that could run and run. A couple of things from me:

1. Being born a homosexual/gay/poof etc IS NOT an illness (go back to sleep, sleepy).
2. Saying you are gay is to use the colloquial term. I'm gay. That means I'm homosexual. I CHOOSE to use which term I want.
3. For those that believe it's a choice, maybe they'd like to CHOOSE to be gay for a year? Report back on their experiences and whether it felt natural and enjoyable? No takers? Didn't think so.

This is 2007 for God's sake. Please stop demonising people for something that they CANNOT influence. I want to be happy and to spend my life with people who can and will return my love and affection. For me, that means others of the same sex. Do I do anyone any harm? Am I the root cause of the terrorism and hatred currently gripping the globe? No, I just want to live my life without fear of retribution from narrow minded supremacists.

In fact today, I've decided that I'll spit at everyone I see with blue eyes. Clearly they decided to have blue eyes?? Isn't that obvious?? No, the only CHOICE here is mine and whether I choose to spit at them.

Live and let live.

Answer 5

It is not a choice and God only set the stage for life.He didn't make anyone anything.That is just nature and nature doesn't always follow a strict rule of how a person is born.Just like people are born with mental and/or physical disabilities or a man is born sterile or a woman is born without the ability to carry a baby, so to are some people born with the predisposition to be homosexual.It is just nature running it's course and springing forth diversity.

Answer 6

If you believe in God (I do) then you believe God made you. Either He made every aspect of you or He didn't. There was no optional button on me as I grew up saying "press once for straight twice for gay". I arrived pre-programmed. That's the way God intended it to be. End of.

Answer 7

You were born with your sexual orientation hardwired into you, just like a straight person. If you believe in God then yes God made you that way. If you don't then Biology made you that way.

People who think homosexuality is a choice need to remember two things. One, no one would volunteer to be an outcast to society and subject themselves to harassment and physical harm their entire life. Two, straight people know at a very young age that they are straight, even though they don't become sexually active til much later. It is the same thing with gay people.

Answer 8

i think people are born with a predisposition to be either gay or straight. at the same time I think some of it is choice because there are definetly some who choose to be gay. I think its a combination of both for a lot of people but with genetics being more powerful. God may have made you that way but whether he wants you to live a gay life is another question all together... of which i'm not qualified to answer. there are those who believe homosexuality is a genetic or psychological disorder just like any other illness... even though this view is frowned upon by society.

Answer 9

i think being GAY is something you are born with. My son told me he was GAY at 16 but if i am honest i knew from day one. there's nothing wrong with being GAY, you have to be true to yourself and i hope you find someone who makes you really happy.

P.S Ecky Boy
GAY is a short for (GOOD AS YOU) and i believe every person regardless of the sexual preferences, gender, colour or race is.

Answer 10

This is part of the nature and nurture debate.

I believe that being gay is part of your nature and that if you believe in God as your creator then yes, he did make you gay.

The other answers seem to be implying that you have chosen to be gay as though the sexual feelings that you have for your own sex are being driven by you!
