This is a natural process. If you find yourself having feelings for someone of the same gender, know that you are a perfectly normal human being. Your feelings are valid, and while you might need to spend some time reflecting about how you feel, having feelings for someone of the same gender is nothing to feel ashamed of.

Yes, absolutely! We all experience all kinds of feelings of love and the like for friends and family members. If these feelings are romantic or maybe even sexual, maybe you should consider your place on the huge scale of sexuality and do some research. No matter what, you are not weird or wrong for feeling whatever you feel!

There is nothing wrong about having feelings for people, no matter their gender. Don't be afraid of your feelings, you may have been told that only male-female feelings are acceptable, but if you open your mind and your heart you will realize there is nothing wrong with what you feel.

It is normal. It doesn't necessarily mean you are LGBTQ+/MOGII though. There are straight people who develop feelings for someone of the same sex at some point or go through a questioning phase when it comes to sexuality. Even if you find out your are not straight after all, it is okay. It is just how you are. It's not who you are, it's not something that defines you as a person, but it is a part of you. Besides, how can we say what is normal and what not? By observing nature, the rest of the species, homosexual behaviors are not a myth, there are quite a few cases. But then again, the mere fact that humans can be attracted to the same sex to such an extend should make it natural because humans are animals too. So, to conclude, don't overthink when it comes to feelings of attraction and love. You are attracted to someone of the same sex? Great! Enjoy it!

It is, without a doubt, normal to have feelings toward a person of the same gender. In my opinion, being with someone is a personal preference, just like being a vegetarian is a personal choice. Be yourself, be unique, be brave!

Of course it's normal! Some experience feelings for the same gender, some don't, some don't feel anything for anyone at all, we're all different and we all deserve to love who we want to love and if that's the same gender then so be it. As long as you're happy then that's what matters!

Yes, like @Honey said, it's a natural process. We have people in this world who will judge you, but take it with a grain of salt, ignore them. There are people in the world who love the LQBTQ+ community, many like myself, I love gay and lesbian, and bisexual ships. I read stories about them, I love them. Think of people who support the LQBTQ+ community. Your feeling for that gender, it's fine.

It is entirely normal, and natural! We are attracted to who we are each attracted to, and love who we love, only you know how you feel!

If by normal you mean natural, then yes. It's by nature that you could get bi-curious, maybe even be attracted to the same gender for the rest of your life. It's not unusual as long as they are genuine feelings and not feelings forced into you by pressure or fear
