    i think youre gay your whole life,

    but you realize it as time goes on.

    alot of people reject it,

    so theyre bi.

    but alot of people also just like guys for some reasons,

    and they like girls for some reasons.

    theres nothing wrong with that.

    I think people are born that way. At least from the people I know that are truly gay, although some get to know themselves alot sooner than others. There's probably some confusion on that though, ever since gays became more accepted in our society, because I think some people say they are gay like it's some kind of fashion trend or something, (i.e. Anne Heche)

    No, they're NOT born that way. You become that way.

    But I really think that a lot of times guys that act girly just think "Oh, I must be gay" and become gay, from what they're heard about gay people.

    It's really a choice. It's NOT genetic, and you're NOT born with it.

    And just because guys like other guys, or are more comfortable with guys, does not mean that they're gay. I think gay people are just a little confused...

    Being gay is actually a chemical imbalance in the brain (not that its a bad thing). So you are technically born gay or straight. But, I guess it would be possible to switch like if something happens in your life or you just find out that you like the same sex.

    I think that you are the way you are your whole life but it can take years to realize it. If you are raised only knowing the 'straight' side of things, then you get out into the world and identify yourself as being different, it doesn't mean that these feelings are new. They just weren't presented to you or you didn't realize they were an option until that time.

    If the desire is overpowering, why fight it? I heard this from a gay friend..."Bi now, gay later".

    as long as your happy if your gay. then become gay. i don't think any one if forcing you to stay straight.

    i think it is genetic (so, i think they are born with that mentality), but i think perhaps life experiences and circumstances can change your views if you are not born with that mind frame.
