You will find that people round here are split sharply into two groups - at least the ones who reply. On lot say Hell Yes! It is immoral, loathsome and God and all decency forbid it! The other lot say Heavens No! Being gay is just one of the may ways that people differ, and should make no more difference than being tall or shy. (There may be people in between, but they keep their heads down for fear of being flames). And neither side will ever convince the other. This is not something upon which people change their minds at all often. So if all your friends "look at you as if you have a disease", you are going to need some new friends. That is the bad news. The good news is that there are a lot of people around (like me) who regard being gay as no big deal and certainly nothing to make any kind of a fuss about.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I think more harm comes from suppressing one's homosexuality than expressing it. You can be a lot of things, but don't ever be ashamed. There are lots of support groups out there, take advantage of them if you are feeling isolated or depressed because of this.

I am on the hell no! team. You are what you are, you are perfect that way. Yes, your gay. Is it bad? No! You be who you are, screw the tossers who tell you you should be something other than you! Good luck, and yes, you do need better friends

There's nothing wrong with it whatsoever. You don't need to go to therapy for something like that. Besides, it's not something that therapy can do anything for. There are some people that think that it's against God, and there are some that think you can be Christian and homosexual at the same time. Church isn't going to do anything, either. Screw anyone that has anything against it. You are who you are, and you can't help it.

Ok first of all i want to clarify that i am Christian, and my church group teaches that it's not that bad to be gay. God made you that way, and you should be happy to be who you are. Any 'christian' who trys to 'convert' you is an idiot, and the 'holier than thou' kinda person. Every one has sins, and as far as they go, i would say being gay is hardly a sin at all (you are not personally choosing to do something 'wrong')It may be hat you come from a very strict religious area? But no-one has the right to make you feel like this. Get new friends, ones that love you for who you are, and don't be afraid to express your true feelings, and most of all, love yourself for who you are, don't try to change things just becasue of the way that others view you.

To add to my previous answer - if you are gay and you know it (and it sounds like you do), DON'T TRY TO "CURE" IT , or to get you to "go straight". I have seen some nasty pileups from that - much worse than any problem you get from being straightforwardly gay.

I disagree with the "born that way" theory, I on the other hand think that you can't help but be gay. You'll hear many heterosexual people state that "you can't help your heart" when criticized about being in love. When asked about gays, its wrong. I hate the double standard society that we live in. There is nothing wrong with you. Don't worry. BTW, its not your hormones its your heart. FOLLOW IT!!! It will lead you to YOUR happiness. That's what should be important to you.

Just be you! If thats Gay then people will just have to get used to it. Therapy to 'cure' you will in a lot cases result in the need for more therapy to get over the therapy!

There's absolutly nothing wrong with it! It's a perfectly natural thing, some people are cat people, some people are'nt, some people like stroganough, some don't, and by the same token some people are like the opposit sex, some like the same sex, it's all a matter of taste. So don't let the bastards drag you down, they're just wrapped up in their own religious or political beliefes that they can't see people have a right to be anything other than what they say people should be.

Stop listening to what everyone else tells you to be. If people around you are looking at you like you have a disease then you are obviously not in an accepting environment. Homosexuality is not a disease or drawback, but rather just another aspect of ones personality. While others' intolerance may be overwhelming, try and focus on the fact that you are who you are for a reason, and nobody can change that.

I believe there IS something wrong with not making EVERY effort in life to embrace (learn how to embrace) ALL of who you are. One could wait (and waste) a lifetime for others to evolve enough to accept and/or embrace him as is. The structural integrity of COUNTLESS human identities depends on personal commitments to having and nurturing hate and fear-based beliefs. Fortunately, you don't need perception to shift one iota before you can embrace the sanity of embracing who you truly are. Give yourself permission, NOW, to feel HOWEVER you think it would feel to be "fully accepted". As a regular, conscious, practice, HAVE and EXPAND those feelings in yourself. Do it TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any external feed back (negative or positive). ACKNOWLEDGE BUT IGNORE DOUBT, GUILT OR ANY INNER TWINGE THAT URGES YOU AWAY FROM YOUR RIGHT TO BE AT EVER-DEEPER PEACE WITH WHO YOU ARE. As you allow the initial inner turbulence of loving yourself to dismantle your arsenals of defense , you'll gradually feel more able to simply let people be who, and where they are. A spaciousness rises in direct proportion to your willingness to 'be' (more than 'do'). Appropriate action (or stillness) rises in the moment from your deepening commitment to simply being. "Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." Mark Twain

no its not wrong to be gay people just like to label peoples how do they think they look to someone else gay straight forwards and backwards? i think u shouldn't care not all straights feel that way about gays i don't , don't pay attention people r ingnorant beinbg gay isn't bad.

theres nothing wrong with gay people, and if you think that people are looking at you as if it is a disease then maybe its because ur from a bad area who dislikes homo's, i dont know wher u from but if ur from the uk u should move 2 london or birghton as they are very acceptive of gays there or if america , new york city , or some other big city ! ! ! !

there ıs nothing wrong with being gay, and you should be proud, never try and change urself you are who u are and whats so good about being straight? u have the exact same problems, fears and feelings for people no matter what you are

That isn't for ANYONE to judge!

there is nothing at all wrong with being gay...it's completely genetic. it's not a disease, it's just how we are. we don't make any choice. if those people around are your friends, you need new friends. no one needs that kind of negative energy. those who preach hatred and intolerance have the disease of ignorance!

you need to get a better set of people you surround yourself with if that is whats happening. dont resist who you are and the rest will come naturaly.
