Gay people are born that way. It is not a choice.

People are not gay by choice, it comes "naturally" as you put it, or rather it is just the way they are. It's not a matter of if you want to be gay, but perhaps if you are asking this question, you are curious about what it would be like to have a sexual/emotional attachment to the same sex, and how that would make you feel. I suggest you reflect upon yourself, and see if there is any attraction between you and the same sex, if so, then perhaps when given the opportunity, you can act upon that.

Are you trying to upset people here or just confused.I'm going to assume confused because you may really need help here.I dont feel its a choice I would never choose to be hated by so many people why would you? Are you attracted to people of the same sex or do you just want to be a cool outsider and piss off your parents.If you were gay it would be something you knew deep down since probably puberty.You know your not the same from a very young age and start noticing feelings you may want to deny pretty early on.Its not like you just wake up one day and say hmm I think I'll be gay today.Its something thats there or its not.

That's an unsettled and controversial question. Just consider all the responses you got as proof.
Conservative people feel its a choice, liberal people say its natural. Since there is evidence of animals switch hitting, I would say most mammals have tendencies. Whether or not it's morally right is between an individual and their beliefs. Sorry there is no factually cut and dry answer to that question, you have to decide for yourself. If you don't know whether or not your attracked to the same sex, then in your mind its not natural.
Maybe you answered your own question afterall.

Gay is not something you choose to be. It's natural. It's how you feel about someone. People who are gay by choice are just following trends and aren't really gay and that's kind of condescending toward actually gay people.
You would KNOW if you were gay, it's not a choice really.
If it's a choice, you're more likely bi-sexual with a preferance toward one gender.

You cant say, I want to be gay. Its either you are gay or straight. Which one do you like? Men or women. There is no
'advice' to be gay. Sorry hun. And it comes natural. People know what gender they like.

I'm bi, I chose to be this way, not to pose, but it just came natural for me, it takes a lot to come halfway out of the closet, I don't tell the whole world though, just my mom, not my sis, told a few of my friends, the ones I know for a fact I can trust, other than that if people don't ask, then it's none of their business, and yes I know I kinds told a lot of people, no big deal, not like anyone that reads this knows me lol.

You want to be gay because you want to experiment--that is all very natural--and normal. It may or may not be right for you. It is a natural thing--no one actually works at being gay or straight--let nature take its course--take it easy---don't rush into anything--don't be jumping into anything too quickly. It is not just physical--it is emotional too--so be prepared for emotions you never had before. Just maintain your self confidence and respect yourself. Good luck

Gay people have been criticized, beaten, raped, murdered. They've had their friends and families turn from them. They've been forced to endure harassment, bias, and ignorance. Many young gay people have committed suicide because they've been made to feel they are evil and have lost those closest to them. I don't know- you tell me- does being gay sound like a CHOICE someone would make?

apparently natural. For some, a life-style choice due to social experience. Either is fine, really. Look up gay-sites or go to gay support groups.

You WANT to be gay? What if you're not?
You either KNOW you are gay or straight....Wanting to be gay means you will try it and not be satisfied with your choice....you'll either want more and more depravity or even step into a more bizarre world of sex...
You wouldn't understand the gay world if you aren't one yourself....
