You can't choose whether to be gay or straight anymore than you can choose if you're a girl or a boy. It's not like gays can change the way they are, why would they want to. Go ask a gay why they're gay (WARNING you will probably get punched)

Actually, probably not. You might get an answer like:"I got bitten by a spider. I have the proportionate gayness of a really gay spider."

It's just what they are attracted to.
They can't help it, same for straights, bis, pans ect.

Nobody wants to be gay. Nobody wants to be bullied and abused and discriminated against. Get the idea that "it's a choice" out of your mind NOW.
You can't help falling in love. Gay people happen to fall in love with people of the same sex. Bisexuals fall in love with females and males. They didn't choose it, and it's not how they were raised, because most gay people are raised by straight parents.
There are some clues and connections that the attraction to the same sex is part See More▼ of a hormone produced in the brain or a genetic connection. However, it doesn't run between direct family members. It's similar to a gene which might give someone a learning difference.

Because that's just how they are, how they were born, they're attracted to the same gender and so what? That's cool.

It is a choice you can't be born like that cause when your born you're brain isn't just like "I'm gay". When your born all you know is goo goo gah gah, so you know nothing when you're born that's why homosexuality is a choice. And so is heterosexuality

If God made everyone, do you think that maybe he made some people gay because it was a test to see who would treat everyone with love like 99% of the bible states, or who would use things in his book against him. You should love everyone!

Because it’s 6 am and I’m being bothered by the answers from 2 years ago that’re wrong:
We have no reason why people are gay
It just happens, so let’s let it.

Being gay and junk has to do with the brain. It's not a choice, nor does it mean that the person has an issue. It's just how their brain is. It doesn't mean they're anything less than anyone else. Being gay is found all throughout the animal kingdom, so don't think it's only humans that are gay.

A lot of people are saying 'It's their choice to be gay' being gay isn't a choice, it's how you were born =D

Ok, here's what I have to say: Being gay is not a choice but it's not assigned to you, either; it's how you feel.

Because they get sexual urges towards the male species and not female. ofcourse id shag a girl if that was my last resort though :D
It's not just a sexual attraction though...

Because they friggin want to be. Period. The end. No more.
There is more. Again, not a choice. People don't 'want to be' gay, it's how they were born, is this really such a difficult concept to grasp?

One answer that no one is giving is the way that Elton John became gay. He CHOSE to be gay because he was BORED with women.
that’s one example out of many. not an accurate depiction of the majority. nice try tho
I wasn’t trying to give an example of a majority, I was just merely stating a single case.

Because we all have different personalities and interests of our own...it's pretty much of how we're made...of course it may be strange and all...but...it doesn't matter of what we are...it's who we are from the inside...that's what makes us so special about within ourselves...we choose in a different path of our own...just to find something that we should always look up to at the times like this...in a good way....it's just something that we should always be proud of from reality...

Because they aren't into the opposite sex, but their own sex and there is nothing to be ashamed of!
