Is it normal that i can't decide how i feel about gay people?

I know that my opinion is completely irrelevant to begin with and I believe each person should be able to do what makes them happy, I know that it's not my place to judge. But since this topic raises a lot of controversy, when asked, I can't decide how I feel. I don't care if you're gay, but I don't necessarily feel it's right either.
Again, I don't mean to offend anyone, this is just how I feel and I want to know if it's just me?

    It is ok if you say that each person should be able to do what makes them happy, that includes gays right? The guy above is just homophobic apparently nor secure enough in his own masculinity to allow others to express their own sexual preferences. As long as they don't want to suck your cock what do you care? Live and let live, judge not.

    I feel like this sometimes. I have lots of homosexual friends, and I would defend them all to death. I despise intolerance and I cringe at people making homophobic comments.

    However...

    Somehow, deep inside, I feel like it kind of sucks for my friends to be gay. I feel like it would be easier for them to be heterosexual, and I know they can't do anything about it, which I just find sad. If my kid was born homosexual, I would accept him 100%... but I would not desire for that.

    So, I guess that even though I am not homophobic, it is just ingrained into myself from my culture values. That's all that I can say.

      It would be as easy for them being gay if society stopped being so homophobic. In my country most wouldn't bother that much about two girls going out but two guys are still too controversial for some.

    This is a society with background homophobia. In my society (which I will assume is the same as your society, for the purposes of this comment) most people are told that being homophobic isn't acceptable, but we're still taught all sorts of veiled homophobic messages - like being gay isn't natural or right or normal. It takes active focus to detox your brain from that bullshit.

    Same. I don't hate on them, but I'm uncomfortable with it...

    Well if you want to go the religious route, The bible says that men and woman should be together and that being homosexual is a sin. But it also says that God is the only one to judge. It also says lying, cheating, stealing, sex before marriage is a sin; and i can assure you you've done one of those things. So who is it for us to judge someone just because they sin differently than you? And in the bible it talks about unconditional love and loving people regardless of their sins. So if you're homosexual at the end of the day you're loving someone regardless of their gender. Pretty deep stuff. One more thing to add is that lying cheating stealing all involves hurting another individual in some way. While being gay is about loving someone. It's not hurting anyone else, and it's their own person business. That's my opinion.
