    I sometimes wish I were attracted to women, because it would make life easier, but I'm fine being gay.

    Only when i want to kiss my girlfriend in public and some guys make comments about it or it would offened someone. I dont wish i werent gay i wish people wouldnt look at me like im an alien when i hold hands with my girlfriend, or when i meet with old friends as the look of disapointment in there face when they say - do you have a boyfriend and i say no i have a girlfriend. Iv just moved into a new appartment block and i know the people around us are talking about them 2 girls that live down stairs are lesbains - so if i had to change anything it would be that.

    Personally I am happy and proud to be a gay man. It is part of my personality and neither me nor my family and friends would like to see this changed. It is my way of life, it is my sexuality and my future.

    It is true that there are people who think different about this. A friend of mine for example is gay, but on the other hand he is a Sunni Muslim and all of his family expects him to be straight and get married. When he told his family - which is a tremendous and risky step in his country - they were extremely disappointed. He is facing large pressure financially and ethically. At times, he tries to hang out with women but cannot caress and kiss them or have sex with them. There were periods when he felt so pressurised by his own family that he tried and tried but could not go beyond the limit of going out with women. He then told me that given all this, he sometimes wished he was not gay.

    The above story is an example only and we cannot assume this is what happens to each and every gay man. However it shows that there might be some influences and occasions where some gays might wish they were not gay.

    I think there are some people who would do anything to stop being gay, and some who accept it. Nobody given the choice would choose to be gay--it's a lot harder life. But having been dealt this hand, I wouldn't change it if I could. It's part of who I am, and I wouldn't be myself any other way.

    Some people say that proves that it's my choice to be gay. Trust me it's not. I put it this way: if people born in the 1940s were given the choice before birth to be white or black, I'm betting most would choose to be white. Not because it's inherently better, but because life would be easier that way. But of course most african americans in the 40s would not have become white if they could---it's part of who they are.

    Now this isn't the case for everyone. Some people are born into situations where gay is simply unacceptable, or have much greater internal struggles or self-hate. I think those are the people who wished they weren't gay.

  • I've talked to friends of mine at times that they have wished they were not gay, but it is never because they actualyl DON'T want to be gay. Ususlaly it has to do with someone being very cruel to them aobut their sexuality, and that makes them wish that they were mroe socially acceptable.

    Ususally, we give them a big hug, take them out for a fun night on the town, and the first pretty boy they see they are automatically glad they are gay again.

    I thinkt hose who HONESTLY are gay and HONESTLY always wish they were not are a rare bread, and are ususally influenced by people tellign them God hates them...which, ps, i don't think is true.

    Only on bad days, where I feel that the entire world is against me. Beyond that, I feel I'm truly lucky and free. I'm pansexual, which means I can go for anyone if I find them attractive mentally, and, maybe physically(hey, sometimes it's nice, okay?). I get a great feeling of freedom that I'm not looking for the right woman or man specifically. My odds are greater! I'm looking for the right -person-. Too bad they might have to be gay too. darn.

    I am gay and feel pretty ok with myself. There are though some times I wish I were straight but for 2 reasons. Straight people can have their own kids, and therefore families and they dont have to "come out" as being something other than they should.

    Yet still I feel ok with me being gay.

    I'm sure that when my uncle was being beaten by his father for his homosexuality, he wished he wasn't gay. I'm sure that when a gay is ridiculed for his preference, he wishes he wasn't gay. I'm sure when a man wants to marry a man he loves, but can't, he wishes that he didn't love that man. This applies to lesbians and bisexuals as well.

    This is why I don't think sexuality is a choice. Who would choose to be part of a group that is condemned by religion, government, and society alike? Though thank goodness this has started to get better...

    I can't speak for all gay men but I have never wished that I felt a sexual attraction towards women.

    I'm gay and yes, sometimes it would be easier if I were straight. But I am who I am . It would be easier to 'fit in' if I were straight. Really, I'm perfectly happy being gay, it's just society's outlook that would make it easier if I were straight. I know I will never be attracted to a woman, and I'm ok with that.
