Who here is gay or experienced it, please answer this question?

Unfortunately I do not have anyone around me in this particular situation and I need some info for research.

1. Do you believe that you were born gay or was it a choice, why or why not.

2. When did you first discover that you were attracted to the same sex; how did you first handle this.

3. Do you believe that homosexuality is immoral?

4. are you truly happy, or do you feel trapped by your gay feelings?

If you can answer all questions, that would be great!

Update:

thank everyone for your honesty and answers. I chose Val's answer because he is an overcomer. Some of you like "I-jerjer", "Doctor Chaos", "Curious", "Ali Baba", "Not-yet-out", "No that's wrong", and "Pc" have or had a sense of conviction and are not really happy in the way that you feel. Val says that he was not born gay. It is my belief that we are born in sin and just because your struggle is not my struggle, doesn't mean that I don't struggle with something and so I tend to agree on that with Val. How we react in the face of struggle determines our true character and ultimately our destiny. Val decided that he was not going to let his struggle rule his life, but rather he brought it under subjection through the power of Christ. This was very key to me, because being humans, we are weak and feable, and unless we allow Christ to strengthen us, we are just a lost cause. And so Val's answer is chosen because he magnify's Christ as being the force to conquer all the cares of life.

    1. I, Myself do not believe that I am born Gay...as my research goes by, I found most of the Gay had a family problem and most of the time is the Mentally presence of A "FATHER"...ask yourself. are U having communication problem, or your dad goes too hard on you? or your dad often hurt your mom that makes you hate ur dad and in later on you will try to explore the never felt love from a male parent from having homosexual relationship. So I concluded, 90% is from environmental influenced.

    2. during that time, I kept asking myself, why am I so different? I would imagine kissing with that boy and I am so attracted by guys and muscles. And I kept quiet until I knew how it really is on my junior high school

    3. I would say it is not immoral. You did not kill anybody in fact you are sharing love but this is againts the law of the nature

    4. Trully happy? I and my wife conclude Gay relation are most based on sex and having fun. there are very less people would have a real serious relatioship. yes, even hetero have this problem but it all goes back to you. do U know how important a family having a child as a transparent connection between parent and it saves married countless times. I was A gay but now, With the bless of God, I am successfully build my family relation. undeniable I'm still attracted by males but think of I'm already having a cute lil princess and devoted wife. all the temptation go away! You will have to pray hard. as my experience, all the gay relationship that I had sucks. only during having sex is so fun but the cheating, unfaitfulness and dissapointment sober me that I should out of this world...

    1) I belive I was born gay atleast Born with a predisposition to be attracted to men and not women. I belive I have choosen to act on that Attraction and not live a lie.

    2) I was 10 most of the boys started tallking about girls. I liked boys.

    3) No Loving someone even if there the same sex Is not immoral. I belive some Gay people do immoral things like casual sex with a new partner every night. I feel you should be in love or at least be dating a person for a while before having a sexual relationship but thats me.

    4)I'm Happy with who I am. It is lonely sometimes it is hard to find good guys to be with and im not into the bar scean.

    1. Do you believe that you were born gay or was it a choice, why or why not.

    --- I was born this way. If it was a choice, I would have been able to change it when I tried to fight off the feelings.

    2. When did you first discover that you were attracted to the same sex; how did you first handle this.

    --- I saw it as normal because I didn't understand that boys were "suppose" to be attracted to girls and only girls.

    3. Do you believe that homosexuality is immoral?

    --- Of course not!

    4. are you truly happy, or do you feel trapped by your gay feelings?

    --- I feel traped. I wish I could lead a life that didn't face discrimation and hate. Most people can't tell I'm gay when they meet me, so I face very little discrimination.

    1. Absolutely born gay, and you'll find that across the board here. Why? Because...I just was. Why do you feel you were born a heterosexual?

    2. I realized I was attracted to the same sex when I would check out all the girls in the room instead of the guys. When I would want to take them home, and when slowly but surely I could hardly ever see myself with men (I'm a bisexual).

    3. Why would I? How can something so harmless and natural be immoral? Rape and murder are immoral. Worry about those.

    4. You're really asking questions assuming being gay is something God-awful. I love being gay. I would think that you would feel trapped by your heterosexual feelings. I have way more options for amazing experiences than you'll ever have--I get to choose from both sexes! My preference for women doesn't hinder me, either, because if that's what I want, it would never make me feel trapped by fulfilling my desires.

    1. I was born this way. I definitely wouldn't have chosen to be this way. Not because I think it is immoral, but being straight is a ton easier.

    2. I just kind of grew into liking the same sex in the same way young boys discover that they are attracted to girls. In my pubescent stages, I liked looking at the other guys at school.

    3. No, it isn't immoral it is natural. How can something that isn't chosen be immoral?

    4. I am happy. I am stuck this way forever, and there are many things that gay guys experience that straights will never know. In some ways ( I know I am going against answer #1) being gay is easier, especially in relationships. I am a masculine gay, so I don't understand women just like straight guys don't. I click better with other dudes, so relationships are just easier that way.

    1) born, was attracted to the male body at 7 years old, had no idea what sex was, had no idea what gay or striaght was

    2) Didn't think anything about it...it was just me..at 7, what was I supposed to think? I had nothing to base an opinion on.

    3) of course it is not immoral, any more than being straight is immoral..these are cases of orientation, not religion..it is religion that tries to fit all into a silly tiny mold...impossible

    4) Truly happy, have been most of my life..."trapped by gay feelings?" I have never been trapped in my life. Only fools get trapped, and then of their own making. !

    Peace and love, Goldwing

    1. Born Gay. Don't know why. Why am I 6'5"?

    2. Have always like Men, but sexually attracted when puberty hit. Same as Straights, but feel towards my own gender.

    3. Morality by whose ethics? Judeo-Christian? Buddhist? Pagan? Well, since this is suppose to be my own personal belief, it is as moral and immoral as Straight people. If you are sleeping around, engaging in decadent behavior, cheating on a partner, then I guess that would be immoral. However, if you are in a loving committed relationship, and you truly do love your partner, then I don't believe that to be immoral.

    4. I am generally happy as happy as the average person is. I have my good days and my bad days just like Straight people do. I not happy that there is so much hatred towards Gay people , and we have to deal with their bigotry, but I am not going to go around with a painted-smile on my face to prove anything. Right now, I think what doesn't make me happy is that I am older now and having to deal with age-ism, but that is more of a senior thing than a Gay thing.

    I believe we are born gay. I feel this way for no one I have ever met can tell me they have made a conscious choice as to whom they find attractive. It is simply a natural preexistent proclivity that is triggered by the same hormones that make us into adults.

    Around seven, at that time I didn't have the realization that so many people in the world thought it was immoral. It seems to me that the innocence of a child's mind seems to know there is nothing wrong with it. It is only adult's who have been bombarded with others views and insecurities who do.

    NO!

    Happy, Gay, all of the above.

    1. I have no Idea, I don't think it is a choice.

    2. The first time I was attracted to the same sex 8th grade, I didn't know, but I liked him, didn't know why, still do.

    3. I don't believe in morals that much in general.

    4. I am happy I know but I'm still closeted.

    If this helps, I always tried to look away from guys, I was already F@#$ed up, I think I was unconsciously trying to protect myself from further harm. Well My brother said he always knew it. I am not truly happy. Well I would prefer to know than not.
