You don't become gay, you just are that way. It is not a choice.
Gay is being attracted to people of the same sex the way straight couples are attracted to the opposite sex.

If someone is gay, it means that their sexual preference is for others of the same sex. Whether being gay is biological or chosen has not been scientifically determined. My personal opinion is that it is biological. I don't think people can help their feelings. Most would not simply choose to be gay - you either are or you aren't. Like hair color. I was born with brown hair. Sure, I can choose to change it, but I can't do anything about the fact that I am a brunette under everything else.

Nobody "becomes" gay. People who are gay usually figure it out much younger than that. A gay person is gay long before they ever have an intimate relationship with another person.
I was 9 when I realized I liked boys. I was 13 when I realized I could like girls too.

You don't just wake up one morning and sitting there you say 'hey im gay' it just doesn't work like that. Sure I had gay feelings when I was younger but didn't say anything just looked within myself and focused on what was right for me and if I could live this lifestyle, only you can make this choice not your family | friends| or anyone else. Every time I go to gay/bi chatroom I see very young users there that proclaim to be 100 percent gay and open, and this just makes me upset. At the young age you don't know what you want and some confused being Bi for being gay, and this will - if not 100 percent sure lead to troubles later in life. Sure times have changed from days of old in which you didn't dare tell anyone till you atleast old enough to live on your own but with parents being more open and more understanding kids are comming out at 14,13,11, and even 10 years of age. I came out at the age of 19 and I was glad I didn't say anything earlier then that for my own reasons. To end this no one becomes gay its just thier lifestyle that they develop somewhere in life.

One does not "Become" gay. Either you are, or you aren't.
Age is not a factor.
Desiring SAME sex physical intimacy is a pretty reliable sign that you are gay.

You either are or you are not gay. If you are, there is not much you will do to change it and coming out is a decision you should make when you are ready for both the consequences and benefits, key word being ready for whatever life throws your way. You do not have to be in any hurry either way but most guys know they are gay from a fairly early age.

the fact that you know that it is illegal undr the age of 16 actually implies that you know what gay means.
and I don't think that anyone just becomes gay .. it's the way the person was born.. a true gay is someone that can't help being the way they are their hormones are all mixed up and they are attracted to people that are the same sex as they are.
Then that is just my person opinion.. There are lots of differnet views and lots of people that are prejudice.

Gay meaning the person is attracted in another person of the same sex.
Theres no 'right' age to become gay.. its not some scientific formula for when someone should turn gay..
if someone is gay, dun try to change them, they'll resent u and they are unlikely to change anyway.
