Are there really gays or lesbians? aren't gays the sissy version of a guy and lesbians are strong masculine version of a women? So hypothetically, why wouldn't the gay sissy guy be with the masculine women, since you say it's all about hormones, gene expression, and heriditary, which seem to be why lesbians and gays exist? or is homosexuality just an excuse or a personal preference of hiding what they really feel? or a weakness they can't seem to click with the right type, cuz they lost their determination?
Seriously, what do you think?

"seriously" . . . either you are very very ignorant of some of the basic facts of life, or you are a total a(*&*hole.
If you really are so clueless, BE CAREFUL! our question is phrased in a very insulting way. If you are unaware of how insulting it is, you REALLY need to get out more. It sounhds like you are about 8 years old. Altthough, even the 8 year olds I teach have it more together than you .
If on the other hand you are a hater, pretending to be a cute innocent questioner, THEN you should just eat sh&^%&^% bark at the moon, and suck rocks until you die.
See, so IN CASE you are really that clueless (#1) , you'd better get some brains and ask questions a lot more sensitivity, or someone is going to beat the living crap out of you and you will (apparently) never even know why.

I'm a 100% homosexual female. I'm also feminine, somewhat demure (usually), and not too hard on the eyes.
Homosexuals are people who are sexually attracted to members of their own gender only. It is a physical, animal attraction, in the same way that heterosexual attraction is. It can be affected by distasteful perceptions of potential sex partners (turn-offs). That is common to both heterosexuals and homosexuals.
I'm not hiding anything, and I have never been interested in persuing a sexual or romantic relationship with any man. I was never molested or abused by a man, I don't fear men, I don't dislike men, I am comfortable around men. I don't have any hormone imbalances /deficiencies, or any other medical conditions (except for a sprained ankle). I have some wonderful male friends, but have zero sexual attraction to them.
Drew Barrymore, on the other hand...
In a way, I understand your reasoning. But you are waaaay off base. Not trying to be insulting, just letting you know.
The role genes play in homosexual orientation is not clear. But it has been proven that the brains of homosexuals are different than the brains of heterosexuals. The difference is in the hypothalamus, which is a part of the brain that has been linked to sexual...stuff. So, the reason that we are homosexual is biological, specifically neuroligical. In other words, it's in the brain, not the mind.
Be well.

Seriously I think that you are very confused about what you're feeling and are trying to get others to figure it out for you. I'm a gay woman who has not always lived that way for my own reasons but that doesn't make me any less gay. I've know since I was in high school that I preferred women to men I knew it when I was in grammar school but than I wasn't sure what it was that I was feeling because I grew up in the 60's and these things weren't really talked about back than. Being gay is something that you are from the time of conception and defiantly by the time that you've left your mother's womb. Whether you want to accept that is your business but if I were you I would wonder what it was about people being gay that upsets you so much.

Being Gay is more than a life style and I don't think that lesbians are butch women, and gay men sissy. It seems to be more about who they fall in love with and find attractive, If you are heterosexual, what do you find appealing about the opposite sex? There are butch lesbians and sissy gay men but it is more of a stereotype played out in TV and movies etc and then by people like you who don't understand and probably never will because you aren't gay. I'm not gay either and I don't fully understand it. But gay people fall in love with like minded people of the same sex, not opposite like the bigger portion of the population, they find the same qualities in a partner as straight people would but quiet often to have sex in a heterosexual way is foreign to them and maybe not as enjoyable than with somebody they are attracted to.
This is all speculation, maybe there are a few gay people on here which can give you more information about the "concept" than a straight lady trying to be in their shoes to write this, lol.

The answer is yes, there really, really are gay people. And no, the stereotype of a group of people isn't necessarily true. Not all white people are bad jumpers with no rhythm. Not all Muslims want to bomb large buildings in the US. Not all African Americans play basketball or eat fried chicken all day. Therefore, not all gay men display an effeminate personality, nor do all gay women display a masculine one. You have to resist the temptation to lump people together and focus rather on their individual qualities. Understanding the culture someone belongs to is important, but you should not rely on stereotypes to provide you answers.

Just like heterosexuals are physically attracted to the opposite sex, homosexuals are physically attracted to the same sex. What you refer to as a "sissy" or a "strong masculine woman" may be homosexuals, and may not. What part of that don't you understand?

seriously what i think is your an ignorant person who has false notions of what homosexual men and women are like. im not gay myself but i know some gay men who dont fit that "sissy" stereotype that you keep sucking on. Most of these guys are in great shape and would probably beat you to a pulp. if you really wanted to understand homosexuality then you would be enrolling in a college course on human sexuality or reading a book on human sexuality. but knowledge isnt your real purpose in posting this piece of crap of a question. you are just trying to spread misunderstanding and hate.

homosexuals in general have had some major trauma, probably of a sexual nature, when they were kids that's warped their sexual nature. In some rare cases, though, there may be a hormone imbalance, that can and should be corrected.. .. ..OK, lets get those negative votes!
