Is there a such thing of being born gay or is it just a choice?

I've never thought it was really a choice. I think it's just in their genes and they just naturally feel gay because nature made them that way.
A gay guy couldn't make himself feel straight any more than a straight guy could make himself feel gay.

It's not a choice. If you get turned on by someone of the same sex, it really isn't your own fault. It's the same with fetishes. A bit like habits that you don't like. It's not by choice. It's by your bodies initial preference of enjoyance.

See, that's assuming there is a God. Now, I personally do believe there is, but many don't, and can we honestly say that we're better than them because we believe and they don't? I don't think so. Judgment is not ours to make, but if there is any sort of judgment made at all, it's God's call, not ours.

As to your question, a choice? You try making that choice. Seriously. I don't think you can. I think it's hardwired in or maybe even in nurture, but certainly not a conscious choice. Why would anyone choose to be alienated from normal society? And with this, you might get as many conjectural answers from straight people as you will honest answers from gay people, and whichever one happens to jive with your predetermined opinion, that's probably the one you'll go with, frankly.

Also, who are we to say what God would or wouldn't do? We don't understand God practically at all, (providing he exists in the first place,) and putting words in his mouth "this is what he would say, if he were here" kinda thing, is saying that we do. And that's what I see here, you saying "he would not do that." It's a trap many, many people have fallen into, and they can come up with dangerous conclusions when they act on that "information." This is a risky question to ask, because if you come to a conclusion that you're not approving of, you might do things that people in general don't approve of.

I've heard of something like this:
Pseudo-hermaphroditism, is a name used to describe the fact that some people are born with external sex organs that look intermediate between the typical vagina or penis. The term was adopted to distinguish between these people, who have typical ovaries or testes, and "true" hermaphrodites, who do not. It is also used for a range of other rare human physicalities

The inadequacy of the term outside technical descriptions can be demonstrated by many examples, but a simple one is the case of women with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS). These women typically have primary and secondary sexual characteristics typical of other women, however they are genetically XY and have internal testes, rather than ovaries. They often marry but cannot have children. However scientifically precise the description "male" pseudohermaphrodite may be for such women, it is clearly socially inappropriate. CAIS is little better. Most intersex conditions are normal (if rare) human physicalities. The S for syndrome in CAIS does not accord with the "normality" CAIS women feel about their bodies.

This is from the encyclopedia. There are people born like this, and take the woman for example: they have the XY and not XX chromosome. This may leave a person with the feeling that they may be born gay, idk. But these Pseudohermaphrodites and True hermaphrodite cases may be where you want to do some research, or to get a better understanding. Jamie Lee Curtis is rumored to be like this. But I don't think she is gay, idk.

I think it's hardwired in there for gay people. I'm not sure about bisexuals, since they are by definition attracted to both sexes and could go either way. I don't know for sure. I've never been attracted to a guy. I figure for those who are, it's the same type of thing - you just like someone and there you are.

Personally I think it's a choice, it's just the polarity of your brain either you are attracted to males or females or both, I think you just need to think about the long run though not sexually what do you want in life, a marriage and kids or a marriage and never kids unless you adopt?

I don't think that you should be asking us these questions because this topic is very debatable and not something we need to discuss. If you have a question, we would all be ready to answer.

It's not a choice. homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom (ever seen 2 boy dogs humping?) so why wouldn't it be the same for humans? we're animals too.

i have a lot of gay/lesbian friends and none of them ever sat down and said to themselves, "hmm...I think I'm gonna be gay from now on". in most cases it's something that's hardwired and they can't help it.

maybe God created gays for population control? *i don't mean this in an offensive way at all! it's just a theory*

Wow I can not believe you think GOD does not like diversity in the world. I don't know what kind of a God you worship but I'd be changing my mind in a hell of a hurry if I thought he was not the benevolent entity I know about. If this is true who's the God for the people who are different, as in mentally ill or physically deformed.

And besides I don't know about you but my Mom & my Dad created me Not God. And if I was gay I'd want them to Love me just the same as if I was straight. Gay is not a choice its what you are. You can't just decide to be gay. Either you are or you are not. What makes you think gay people are less then perfect the way they are. That's the way God intended them to be, so accept it, they have.
