Um...no offence, but being gay doesnt happen suddnly...Youre born that way.

good for you!! ^and r.e to that guy up there, being gay has nothing to do with being born like that! she just realised and you cant say anything nice!? leave her the f*** alone!
LOVEOOOOOO

Being gay doesnt mean that you "hate" the opposite se.x, it means youre not attracted to a person of that se.x, youre attracted to people of the same se.x of you

One, Im a girl.
Two, do not bring religion into this, because I am undecided on the subject
Three, I am not trying to be mean. I am just butting it out there. I'd prefer not to argue about this on this site, because most of you are still kids :/
If you get older and rethinnk this and you find you really are gay, then congrats. I support you. I for one know for a fact that I am bise.xual so I already know my decision.

Well thats fine I suppose, but you're only twelve, I'd honestly say wait another few years to see because ALL children around early teen years are a bit, how shall i put this, confused, now please note that im not trying to be mean, its just the truth, you're still probably going through (girl)puberty and either gender has trouble and is confused during that period

*putting

^You're not "born" into your interests at all, you decide

Good for chu Kenna! :>

-Victoria

Mayhem:
You cared to respond

-sigh- Listen. It is genetics. That is the end of my argument and if you beg to differ, then be my guest. You can not change my mind

good for you and im gay too

You were not "born" to reply, you decided to. Genetics may slightly influence behavior but it cannot make you like a specific gender

As I said, believe what you want. I am not trying to come off as a jack-a.s.s but this is what I know. This is a pretty big decision to make, despite the fact that she is twelve. She doesnt have to have her intrests set at that age.

-Mayhem

And besides, Look at YOUR comment, in the end you stated "I have already decided."

Yes, it is a decision, not genetics

people...
you dont decide...
it doesnt work like that, okay?
who would CHOOSE to be gay anyway?
i wouldnt.
i mean, i support them, my 2nd main OC is gay, just...
yeah.
ive actually tried to be gay
just to see,
but
it didnt work -_-

so yeah
it is not a decision at all...

(Yes, but I am not twelve. I am decided. She does not have to be, but she is choosing to be. That is ALL I'm saying)

ask anyone gay and, i guarentee, theyll say they never chose.

And when I say decided, I mean I know what I like.

sorry i didn't tell you sooner but yeah im gay too and thats the way i came to my sister and bro as gay

i like girls from the start

But you DECIDED to try, and honestly, and not trying to be rude, but those who choose are those who give on something else, IM NOT saying that you all gave up, but its a vast majority

^see?

Mayhem:
Again, you have contradicted yourself, you had decided to like the same gender, it is not genetics. I rest my case

I said I was bise.xual. Meaning I like both gender. I like guys. I like girls. I never said that I prefer girls all together.

being gay is not a decision why would someone choose to be gay when it could cost you to lose all your loved ones and be outcasted so for, anyone who thinks its a choice think about that .

but i am gay and i am happy to be gay cause its a part of me i can never change and i love myself just the way i am.

i mean, do you think, if you see two boy lions mating, they chose to be that way? no, they dont even think like that!

And none of what I have typed ever said I was TRYING. I am not trying anything.

yeah listen to what all they gays here are saying
@Danbo

guys are stupi.d and girls are bitc.hes sometimes

also, there were these two male penguins who were 'mates' for life. when one died, the other showed many signs of depression

No, every embryo starts out as a female (we could lean towards a mutation or accident, spanning from this) and the testoterone(sorry for spelling) is present in some and makes the baby a male or female, if it is present that the man or female has more genes than the other, then it is most likely a mutation of some sort, but either way, as the individual develops into their own person, they gain their own free will and mind and, choose to be what they want, who they will be with and who they decide to love

really stop trying to explain humans because humans are way more complex than our minds can understand so don't even go there

You love men so much i am your boyfriend

10th grader kid, I went through biology last year

Im in 8th. A grade below you.
@Vixen

And no, Wiki is not very reliable, maybe for simple stuff, but Wiki is edited by DOZENS of people, so it could very well be baised

i agree with Magali

btw im a 6th grader...

but then it gets fixed in very little time.
@Danbo

i am a 12 grader and just about ready to graduate but i don't see how what grade you are in is relevent to this conversation

And frequently edited

Seriously? Does it matter if its a choice or not?! Everyone as their own opinions, so stop trying to change everyone else's because you feel you're right... If you're right then you are, congradulations, if not so what? Stop trying to make everyone see that you're the 'right' one...

The kids brought it up

then fixed. so youll usually see it as being correct.
@Danbo

vixen is right

i am very much an atheist and i will never be anywhere close to believing creationism, or h.omos.exuality being a choice

now i will leave.

Yeah and besides, It was originally between me and Mayhem who,left a sum of time ago, everyone else budded in

@merry gryphmas
i agree its not a choice

And, as previously stated. I said I was bise.xual. Like both genders. Not a decision. A realization. End of my argument. Goodbye.

-Mayhem

@vixen
no problem cause you are absolutely right ^-^

And? You had to continue to argue with the 'kids'? You're just as much fault as everyone else who is arguing... Someone has just 'decided' 'realized' 'chose' 'figured out' that they are gay, why are we arguing about it's origins?

It is most definantly by choice, and as I said before, you're not born to like what you like, you experience it and decide whether you enjoy it or not, its common sense

that doesnt even make sense
ive never once liked a girl
ive never experienced it
@Danbo

(Maybe, youre coming from YOUR own expirence. No human is the same.)

Cyanide:
Exactly, its all a type of decicion, realizing you like it, choosing to like it and deciding, its all the same, genetics barely play a sufficient role, so it could very well be both, not one at a time

Exactly, everyone is different, you experience it then make your decision, and that my dear is a common and inevitable experience, experiencing something yourself and deciding youself

@ dan

i have never experienced a relationship with neither boys or girls and i know i like girls so your theory does not apply to me

You know because you decided

you cant tell someone what they did and didnt do!
@Danbo

@dan

but you just said you need to experience then you make your decision wow you just contradicted yourself

@merrygryphmas

you are right

what magali said.

It doesnt need to be a major experience, like a relationship, your own life entirely is experience enough, more specifically, environments or your childhood

still you just told her she decided
how would you know
@Danbo

Im stating and supporting my claim, dont wriggle out by using the old "You cant say" or "do" thing

what?
its true. YOU CANT JUST SAY SHE CHOSE.
@Danbo

@ dan
well my whole childhood the people around me influenced me to be straight i had no influences that would lead me to be gay and i did not even know what gay was but i still liked girls so if i liked girls before i even knew what gay was and had no influence whatsoever to be gay how is it a choice

Holy fu.ck I go away for like twenty minutes and you guys explode in arguments of beliefs and sh.it.......

Because its common sense knowing effective someones chilshood is on their mental outcome, I grew up without many of my own friends and not "having fun" so I suppose you could say i was an "awkward" child, and I could have very well decided to live alone with very few friends, but I decided to try something else only recently/ Same goes for any body, not my scenario obviously but its the exact same concept, you decide how and when you want to do something

@shadowwaffle

im just standing up for myself and you and other gay people because because other people assume they know everything about people. we are all different and complex so no one person in the world can ever know exactly why people are who they are

Well you ruled out experience, bravo, but you absolutely cannot rule out your own free will/ Or, we could go deeper and assume that some people didnt accept you, but I'd rather not pi.ss anyone off right now, its been such a lovely morning

All I simply said in the exact very beggining is that she should wait to make such a bit decision, due to age and puberty

Honestly im bored now, just believe what you believe and I'll believe in what I do, chances are we're both wrong, theres never an absolute say about our scr.ewed up minds, pain and tolerance makes it better for all of us, have a lovely day

exacty but its not a decision i knew at a very young age younger than 12 that i was gay i never knew what my feelings were classified as but yeah just saying and actually i have been quite calm throghout this conversation its not something to get mad about im just explaining my beliefs no reason fo someone to get mad

@dan

thats what i have been trying to say im glad we can agree to disagree thanks now you finally get it : )

I've known that for the longest time, I just like to argue XD

^-^

@Seth
Thanx bro, I love you! ^-^

and yeah I know, I hate it when ppl get into arguments like this on my gallery!!

I have no problem with this. Just thought I'd make that clear

@Weirdkid

I honestly don't care what other people think. I'm sick of getting picked on for who I am. Not tryna sound rude and I'm happy you're fine w/ it, but I just think it's useless and dumb when people argue about cuz no matter what they say I ain't changin who I am!!

so gay means you hate men? i thought it meant you love men... im confused?!?!?!?= #rainbow?
