Is it normal to be gay because of the unsuccessful relationship w/dad?

I know I would never choose to be gay, if I had that option. But part of me thinks this might have occurred because my father and I never had a positive relationship. Could it be that because my father and I never got along, it forever tainted my feelings towards men?

    Trauma doesn't make one gay and neither does an absentee father.

      I disagree on the grounds if they are traumatized sexually that they may not be able to have sex or sex with a gender because they are too damaged.

    No. You are born gay which means this was determined before your father had any effect on your life.

    There are some people who choose to believe being gay is a choice or that it can be caused by environment, but that is just ignorance. Studies have now proven conclusively that there are differences in the hypothalamus which are evident from birth.

    I don't think it works that way, I think it's something your born with. That's what I've been told anyway.

    Do you like to suck cocks, seriously? Are you a good cocksucker and do you swallow mens' loads?

    Your gay because you are born that way! It would have been easier to be straight but I'm glad im gay. I wouldn't change it for anything. It is who I am not what I became.

    You don't have your sexuality influenced, it just is.

    im not saying gay is right or wrong cause i dont have an opinion on that but if the child is exposed to porn at an impressionable age this can skew the sexuality, i believe this but i dont know about studies etc

    I see what you're saying but I don't think you are gay because of your dad. I had a terrible dad and I am not gay. It is common to believe that women tend to marry someone just like their dad.....it's true, mostly.

    What kind of girls are you attracted to? Are they like your dad?

    I don't think anything but nature made you gay and it's nothing to be ashamed of nor anything to really question-if you are attracted to women then embrace that and don't look for a reason or a cause, just see yourself as a person-fuck if you're gay or not. you're YOU. Live.

    I was assuming that you are a girl and your father ruined your positive image of men and that might contribute to why you are gay now.

    Quite possiblyy!...If you're a guy, and I'm assuming you are.

    My father wasn't around much while I was growing up. I'm a straight female but I think in all of the males I've dated, I've looked for the fatherly figure in them because I didn't have my own.

    So, yeahh. Not normal for your father and you to not have a good relationship. But normal that it had a big affect on your life.
