Are you gay by birth or is it something you develop?

You are gay or bi by birth, but you have to found out. I was attracted to girls too when I was in kdergarden but I didn't know that, I just thought that I like them like they are my idol, I always wished to be a guy so I can be with some girls I didn't know I was attracted to.

I think most sexualities are present in some sense from birth. We start noticing these tendencies more and acting on them more later on in life, mostly after hitting puberty. This may be due to more education about sexual orientations and a general questioning phase.

You are gay by birth. You can't change who are you attracted to. Your choice is whether you're gonna act upon it or not.

Sexual orientations are something we are born with, they can't be influenced by external factors or by anything that happens in our life. External factors can only contribute to making your realize what your orientation really is, but the orientation has always been there as a part of you, even if for someone it's hard to realize it.

I've always considered it to happen at birth. Even when I was young, I remember feeling attracted to males and females, and I didn't even know what it meant to be gay.

It's an answer that is not yet determined but I believe that everyone is born gay but choose because of various societal pressure.

Well actually, a lot of people are constantly talking about this and discussing this. Everyone has their own opinion, Like if a child has gay parents, he/she doesn't have to turn out gay as well, but he/she can. Or if parents are straight, child can turn out one of these ways. There have also been various researches. I did an essay about this in school. It's actually quite interesting. I believe that it could also be both, something you have, a feeling but it developes while aging.

The more I reflect and consider the circumstances; I would say yes people are born gay. What I am trying to figure out is whether birth trauma can be a precursor to being gay.

Do you like sport cars by birth or it's something you develop? Let's start saying that sexual orientation is something that hardly ever comes out before puberty, because, earlier, body and mind aren't ready to ask themselves who would they like to have sex with, they're not even interested in the subject yet (gender identity is different for example, children recognize themselves as males or females before they're even able to talk). Next point: sexual orientation (such as gender identity) is a spectrum. This means that you can be straight, mainly straight but not despising same sex, bisexual, mainly gay but not despising other sex, or gay. It's tastes. So, what do I think sexual orientation is? I think it's taste. You may be a male and like to play with dolls, and convince yourself you don't because you fear other people's and your own judgement. Too bad. But this will hardly ever affect your life in a significant way. Forcing yourself to have sex with people with which you don't want to have it, will DEFINITELY affect your life. This is something more intimate and personal, you can't fool yourself around it, you can't choose it, you can't convince yourself to change your mind or ignore it and behave differently without this having major effects on your mental well being and overall serenity and happiness. You can either be born with it, develop it or whatever else. Does it really matter?
