It's possible. I have a friend that I love to death and I would do anything for her...but I don't want to have sex with her.
If you feel the need to kiss her/mess around w/ her...you could be bisexual.

It depends on your definition of loving them...
In one case yeah, you can love someone of the same sex w/ out being gay.
Thats the kind of love you have for very few people maybe only one or no one at all, theyre one of those people that you call a 'brother' or 'sister' because the word best friend isn't even worthy enough for them. One of those friends that you love almost more than anyone in your family (or actually do love more than anyone in your family). The one that you know everything about, and that is pretty much the world to you. The one that's always going to be there for you, ALWAYS, no matter what and you'd o the same for them.
Then theres the other 'love'. The one where you love this person to pieces. It makes you sad when your not around, you miss them even though they just left your house 5 minutes ago and you get worried about them over the stupidest things because you know that if you lost them, it would damn near kill you. That one where you'd give anything to just be with them, all the time. Where you want them to be the last thing you see before you go to sleep every night and the one you want to wake up to in the morning... if thats the case, and they are the same sex, you're a little in over you're head if you don't know the answer to that. But hey, being gay isn't bad. I am and it doesn't mean a thing to me. I'm still the same person I was before and Ill still be the same person I am forever.
That was too long, probably didn't answer your question, and was 99% rambling but I'm bored, and this is America. I hope someone answers that question right for ya.

A healthy sexuality, even though very connected with love, is not the same thing as love, in the sense of unconditional positive regard for your human family.
Love, or genuine concern for another person, is yours to give everyone you can. Think about your parents, family, teachers, and go from there. Starting from very young you develop love (in lesser strengths but still love). You can't say you are normal if you don't have love for people of your own gender.
Sexual attraction is a different boat, though so closely tied that they are often confused by people. A lot of these confused feelings of love have root in self-esteem.

Of course you can. It's not about being gay. You can love someone in a friendly way or family way. There's not just one love for a same sex having to be "gay". Geeze...what an ***. The guy who answered first. xD

Since there are all kinds of love, I say yes. I mean, people love their kids, their pets, their family...without that physical relationship. Why not a friend that you love?
There are people I care for deeply that I would never have sex with, both male and female. They are important to me...people that have a place in my life and my heart. It doesn't make me gay and it doesn't make me an adulterer either.
I think people need to get a grip on the word love.

Love is more than just being with someone in the status of a relationship. You love your family...does that make it insest? Not at all. There are people in your life that you sit on a different level with and the bond you guys have will be special. Whether friends, family, bf/gf...love is a universal emotion that shows someone you care about them. There are different levels of love that separate how each person is classified in your life. There is nothing wrong with loving someone...no matter who they are.

I personally believe so. I'm a firm believer in many soulmates. Not necessarily romantic soulmates but someone that you completely click with and may/or may not fall in love with. But if this person is your friend that's the same sex I think it's completely normal and does not necessarily mean that you are homosexual. Love sees no sex, color, face, etc. it only sees the person.

I dont think so,as you has said, love a person of the same sex.,meaning if you're a woman you love a woman,and that's already gay,lesbian.Unless she's just a friend,not a lover.
Good luck mate

yes. Gay or straight are preferences, not orthodoxies. Just as I may prefer dark-haired women, I can date blondes - that does not change my overall preference. If I date a guy (don't hold your breath), I'm still straight, ultimately.
I once had a lesbian housemate who would have given up women for Elton John. Don't ask.
Words/terms/labels describe us, but do not own/control us - unless we let them.
