There is much debate about this subject. Some people think gay people are born like that, and others believe its a choice. For the people like me that believe its a choice, we often get the "why would I want to be gay and have to suffer? You think I like dealing with this?" Well, I wouldnt think so but you obviously do. I think homosexuality is just another way your brain subconsciously deals with some sort of conflict you have emotionally. Some people bite their nails, some people like bondage and dominatrix, some people are swingers, some people drink themselves to death, and others turn to hardcore drugs. I dont think people actually wake up and say "hey, I think I wanna be gay!". Of course not. Its not a conscious decision but I dont think people were born that way.
