Most boys could care less about girls at that age. That doesn't make you gay.

Practicing homosexual acts is a choice. Whether or not a person happens to be attracted to someone of the same sex is not a conscious choice that I am aware of. However, there are many factors that can cause a person to be attracted to members of their same sex that do not have to do with genetics. Even if they were or are caused by genetic factors a person can still choose to abstain from behavior that the Bible calls sinful. They can't get the victory over their sin however until they turn to Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus called our comforter and counselor. I know because I was a former drunkard and fornicator before becoming a born again Christian just like some of the people in the church of Corinth back in Paul's days were.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such WERE some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
As to the website the person below me recommends, that site says that Jesus never spoke about same-sex behavior. That's true, but here is what Jesus said about God's plan for human sexual activity.
Matthew 19:4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
Sin means to "miss the mark". People who have sex with other people of the same sex are "missing the mark" of God's design for humanity.

The new school of thought among Fundamentalists is that a person could very well be born a homosexual, and its not a sin for that person to be a homosexual, its only sinful if that person engages in homosexual behavior. I think that's complete nonsense.
In The Bible, homosexuality is only mentioned by 2 authors. It is first mentioned in Leviticus as being an abomination, but we all know that was part of the Old Levitical Law and it isn't relevant anymore. True, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah mentions homosexuality, but the theme central to that story is OBEDIENCE, not sexual morality.
Homosexuality isn't mentioned again until Paul brings it up in the books of Romans and Corinthians. And I have very serious doubts that the words of Paul could are good examples of what Jesus wants from us. After all, this is the guy who tells us that we should remain single and only get married if we can't control our "burning passion." I have no doubt that he added his own opinions regarding relationships into his letters.
Personally, I choose not view God as a tyrant who would create a homosexual person and then ban them from ever being able to experience a relationship with another person.

What are you saying , that you are gay now ? if so you need to look at your family history as well and see what
bones are in the closet . I was taught to hate color of many
plus beaten pretty hard at times and exposed to a lot of
other things . Even liked some boys more then others . You
have to deal with it head on . I did not become my parents
but , learned what I did not want be . Good came out of the
bad . But it took years to identify what was slow killing me .
Now I have Jesus to stand on and with . I am trying harder
with every passing day to give my life to Him and for Him .
You know what I have got in return !! Happiness , Love ,
Peace , Security , A Beautiful Family , Jesus is so good to
me and I Love Him so very much . With Jesus , I am not
ashamed of who I have become by Gods Great Grace .

I don't think it's a choice in most cases, although I'm going to offend some other Christians by saying so. I think it's a temptation. Some little boys are tempted to steal. I used to lie a lot. Everyone has besetting sins. Alcoholics don't choose to be alcoholics. They just fall into it. .In any case, the remedy is the same - the blood of Christ. John 3:16

Son, they mean that a person can be influenced to be sexually attracted to a washing machine if you do it right.
Early desires for boys is not a genetic predisposition. No evidence has yet been found to prove a "gay gene", though research is still being done.
That's all. Well, to be fair to you, that's not all.
Some Christians don't care about the facts and just dislike gays (in addition to thinking it is morally wrong).
Keep speaking up, regardless, both groups.

At that age, boys are not attracted to girls, and visa versa. You played only with boys and cried only when boys were mean because boys were your friends. I am about as far from gay as you can get, and I never had any friends that were girls when I was younger. Back when you were a kid, you couldn't care less what girls thought, because girls are girls. They're weird. They still are, but now at least I care what they think.

you start making choices the moment you are out of the womb from influences. Often as a child we innocently make a choice, we may even forget it, but it will influence us as we grow even if we do not understand it. It is something that happens and it is something we may have made a choice about before we were even born, because we have agreed with God what we will do on earth before we were even created. It may even think to be said it is odd to choose a homosexual lifestyle before we were born, but someone would have to do it because some one else would be come attracted to the same gender. Yet if you had chosen it before birth you would only be doing the will of God, and he would not forsake you, he would lead you out of this sin and you would continue to do the will of God. Pray that you will continue to do the will of God so that you will be lead to do the will of God. It is something that many will not understand, but it is something that is about to be understood by you.

All little boys are attracted to little boys. There is nothing wrong with friends. Back before there was any knowledge of sex? Why would you be a homosexual then when you weren't sexual at all anyway. Little girls aren't even little girls looking for guys then either. People get confused with friendships and sex. You can have male friends and not be into girls and not have sex with men. Just don't do it--- simple.

I am gay...
and I was by no means, under no circumstances born gay...
This whole born-gay thing, has become like a religious dogma of gayism... Ther is no proof that people are born gay...
A more accurate evaluation of your experience, is that you had a closer relation with your guy-friends as a child, and because people took notice of this...or because at some point you took notice or this...then you also began to esteem your male-male relationships more than your male-females relationships.
Being gay is an unconscious choice....like what kind of ice-cream flavor you like.

A lot of children play @5 with their genitals or others genitals. Nobody think about them to be pervert. Why do you think that at such a fresh age a child are homosexual and others aren't heterosexual?
I didn't want to play with girls until I was 12-13 because none of them were cool. Also almost no girl wanted to play with us because we were too macho. Using your logic 90% of children are homosexual before they know what is the sex.
