Do you think being gay is normal?

Ofcourse you are normal sweetie! We are born in the image of god (for the God fearing people) Anyhow God does not create anything bad, you were born gay and a beautiful child of God! (Whatever God is to you)

If a friend came over to me and said they were Gay, I would say ok well thanks for telling me! Do you have a boyfriend? Who is he? and is he hot?! The same thing I would say to any girlfriend.

Don't let society get you down, most people are in a daze of consumerism anyway, they have no concept of what is really important in life. Just try to be your true authentic self, have the courage! It's hard but we can move mountains when we strive for that :)

Read "the kinsey report" if you want ti understand what is normal in regards to human sexuality.
What is normal anyway?
Definition- conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected

People dont choose their sexual orientation they are born with it no matter what the christian extremists would have you believe.
Did you choose to be heterosexual? No of course not.
Could you choose to be gay? Well you could go and have gay sex but that wont make you gay. If youre not naturally attracted to the same gender then you probably wouldnt even contemplate it in the first place.
If however you did try it out of curiosity and you did like it and continue doing it then you most definitely already had either bisexual or homosexual feelings. Many people live a life of denial and repress their feelings because of conditioning and religious guilt.

The sexual spectrum is not black and white. It has many shades in between. Sadly there are many ignorant people who are afraid of anything that is different to their own experience. They lash out and attack whatever they dont understand in the hope that they will no longer have to feel confronted. This behaviour achieves nothing. Its like a child stamping their feet having a tantrum. In the end noone listens. Thats what is currently happening with the church. People arent listening to them ranting on and trying to control everyone with lies anymore. People are wising up because they know gay people or they have a gay relative or friend and they see them as like everyone else. Perhaps they have even had bisexual/gay feelings thoughts or experiences. Therefore their own experiences in life are not matching what the church tells them. The churches days of power over the people are coming to an end.

being gay is VERY Normal if you are Gay i respect you living your life and not being bothered by others.

Homosexuality has been around as long as humans have walked on two feet. Your sexual identity is as much a part of your DNA as being left or right handed, and you can't do anything about it. The bottom line here is that as long as your sexual impulses do not involve hurting other people or having sex with children, you're normal. Ask any psychologist, and they'll tell you the same. Don't feel guilty--be who you are and enjoy it.

I think it is natural but not normal. The word 'normal' implies something that is usual or more common. It would be normal to walk down to a lake in the frozen north in the middle of February and see that it is frozen over. It would not be normal to see open, hot water with steam rising from it - although this is "natural" if you were viewing a hot springs in Alaska at the same time of year. Why is it natural to be gay? Well this is best left for you to do your own research into human biology and psychology to see that this is the way many people are born. It would be much the same to expect a cat to not chase mice as to expect gay people to not be born thus. We as a species must accept this as natural and move on. But we also need to teach such things correctly - using proper words. The gay population in turn should act as they see fit but not flaunt their orientation in a manner that would be as socially inappropriate as a scantily dressed prostitute publicly hustling a "john." This sends the wrong image and message and makes it difficult for those who are gay to function in society as any other person would.

not exactly normal, but i don't think it's wrong

Very normal. Do you actually know how many cases of homosexuality there are all over the world in nature too? There are certain species of lion and dolphin and antelope and apes that will do each other in instances of bisexuality, and they realize the difference in the sex yet continue to do it, I guess cause they like it. People are the weird ones if they don't think it's normal it's been around since the beginning of time.

Little mistake... Gays can be born OR choice... either one, not both lol

I believe those who are gay are born this way AND by choice also. Think about it... If you're straight, can you suddenly look at the private parts of the same sex and "choose" to be turned on by it? Maybe you can go into a loving relationship with someone of the same sex, but are you truly turned on by them? Some people who train themselves to be turned on by the same sex... It's possible. Has anyone ever developed a fetish while they were really horny? Similar idea.

ut is normal to be gay. I am gay

I am Gay i love, it the Cum is awesome
if a friend came over and told me he was gay i'd say "let's go have sex and make out"

It is very normal in the natural world, and try as we might to forge+t, we are not separate from nature.

Astheskyburnsred, only if you believe in creationism were the first humans a man and a woman.
According to evolution, which I believe curious69 is basing their facts off of, they could be eighter sex, seeing as humans evolved at a slow pase.
Being gay is perfectly normal. I've had many friends come out to me.
And the OP could just be a curios person wanting to poll society.

If my best friend came over and told me he was gay i would say ok and then tell him that if he's been trying to get me for the last few years he should give up right now. I would still hang out with him though.

I have friends and relatives who are gay and
it is a fact that homosexuality has been around since human beings have been on the planet

so if a friend told they were gay it would not bother me at all

Now:

For you to be asking such a question you
either have to be one of the following:

16-22 years of age and have not had much by way of social life experiences

you are confused with or in denial quite aware of your sexuality ( you might even be testing the waters before you come out)

you feel threatened by your gay friend

or you come from a sheltered intolerant & ignorant Christian family and you either really have a gay friend and it freaks the shit out of you because of all the horrible lies and bullshit Christians and your family have shoved down your throat
or finally you are testing the waters before you come out
I should also mention that for your friend to come out to you, your friend obviously esteems you,trusts you and considers you an important person of value to his/her life
So if you are truly their friend you will accept them and continue the friendship and leave it at that

1) Normal? It just is.

2) "I agree/do not agree with your gayness"
That doesn't sound right somehow.

3) I would say: "That was random, but okay. Uh, wait a minute, do you mean your feeling particularly happy right now? Oh, right. Well, that's great. Can you make me gay? I'm feeling a bit blue."

I used to have feelings for my best friend. But I learned to get over that, because I knew he was straight. Im still afraid to admit it too him though, in fear, he might ditch me.

define "normal"

Live your life how you want and dont worry about if your "normal" or not. Your perfectly fine and being gay is awesome! Im proud of you for having the balls to get on here and honestly ask. Most wouldnt. Your fine dude, dont worry about what others say and live your life happy. Thats all that matters :)

is normal, being gay its not a big deal, society is adapting to it...human beings have the liberty to choose, and if WE chose to love somebody of our same sex it doesnt really change who u are, ure still a human being with feelings and emotions...it is not a desease or a mental thing, thats just who we are....i just would like some ppl to understand that, just like they are born straight we are born gay...

I not really normal I guess it acceptible to some people but dispute what all these people are sAying it's not and never wi b the standerd

hell no it's not normal you freak. other freaks don't make it normal.

Umm curious69 I'm pretty sure that the first two humans on earth were a man and a woman so therefore..

Gayness has not been around since the beginning. Dumbass.

My opinion is that it is not born nature. I think it's a choice. But there is much controversy on this topic. I'm not a hater. It's just my opinion.

This s my point of view. I think God, on purpose, gave gays the gift of homosexuality, to cut down on the amount of births. I mean come on! We are wiping out animals, and we are over populating the earth.

People say God hates gays, but he has power to effect a lot of things. Why would he hate gays if he can chose if your gay or not. We need gays to not over populate the earth. This way, you can still learn what its like to have sex, and love, without fear of giving birth. If it werent for people being gay, the world would be dead by now.

No its not I hate gays.

Do I think its normal, no. But my husband was born without the tip of one of his fingers and that's not normal either. I believe in evolution and biology and I think gayness is a mix up with some of the genes.

If a friend told me they were gay I wouldn't really care, its their life. I think better to have a gay friend than a drug addict friend.

I think my boundaries would be I would not want a gay female friend to hit on me and I would not want a male gay friend to tell me about his anal bleaching. Otherwise I think its all good.

depends on your definition of normal. are ginger people normal? are gays normal? if by definition you state that they are an occurrence however unlikely in society then yes, being gay is.

Totally normal. Its the homophobes and social deniers who are not normal - though sadly plentiful.

it is very normal LIKE U BREATH WHEN U ALIVE

I think it's normal. I think some people are born with it. I think other people make a choice. Usually the people I think make the choice though are people who just want to give it a try to see if they are or not.

When a friend came out to me I told her that I was sorry I wasn't that way and that I felt bad that she was in that position. She couldn't understand why I didn't hate her. I explained that she was my friend, her being bi and liking me was just another part of her being her. *shrug* I also said I empathized because unrequited love sucks.

Oh and to all the assholes saying you can "choose" Um no you cant. You can choose when to "declare" your gayness but it has been scientifically proven that people who are gay are born that way and if they were born that way then its completely normal.

My friend just confessed to me and other friends that he's gay, but I've never had a problem with it. Gay or not, we all need loving... and one would do whatever it takes to find love.

I feel that you are allowed to make your own choices and feel what you want to feel. If you happen to be a guy and you are attracted to other guys, thats your choice. Who cares if some people feel its "sinful" or "wrong". All that matters is how you feel about it.

I don't think it is normal in society; the number of straight people still outnumber those who are gay, but neither is it abnormal anymore.

Being gay is normal to those who are gay and being straight is normal to those who are straight.

It would make no difference to me if a friend said they were gay, their lovelife is their business

if my friend came over and told me he/she was gay i would say "well i cant live ur life for u so do watever u want it urs not mine and i accept u as u are.........etc" but yeah ppl can choose w/e they want to be gay,or bi... i really dont care dat wont change anything in our friend relationship!!i agree with it let them live there life there just humans like u and me

later
