There is no specific reason for a person's attraction towards one gender(s) or another. It's simply a part of who you are, and there's not a thing wrong with it.

I don't think an answer for this is beyond anything other than my brain says so. It's just how I have always felt. i always knew I liked girls. Even when I was young.

Because that's who you are. You can't help what you feel, or who you love - it's just you. Don't be afraid of your sexuality, because you're perfect.

In earnest: only you can answer that question correctly. Others can only give you their subjective opinion or experience to why you feel what you feel. The problem with feelings are that they are very often not rational, and can be hard to think through. But it can help to start by asking questions around other aspects of the same subject. Why aren't you attracted to people of the opposite gender - or if you some times are, what is the difference in the feelings/attractions? What does this attraction actually feel like - what is it you want to connect to in that person? Thinking about and around your feelings might get you a better answer to your question than any answer given by anybody else.

The same reason someone else might be attracted to a person of the opposite gender. It just is. You just are. There's no deeper reason than that. You can't help who you are attracted to.

It's simply what you like. The body is simply a vessel. It allows us to live and be who we want to be. The gender is simply a coincidence but the love is real. At the end of the day, our body is just skin and bone with other things thrown in. The gender shouldn't matter as long as you're happy and are in love with the other person.

its something we can't answer as it is just a part of who we are. I would be happy to listen if you would like to have a chat with me anytime.

You are attracted to people of the same gender because that is who you are attracted to. It's as simple as that. Some people are attracted to the same gender, some to the opposite gender, and some to both. It's just how you are born.

It's incredibly hard (and maybe not even possible) to control who we are attracted to! If youare attracted to someone of the same gender it is most likely something you cannot help. If this person or people happen to be of the same gender, different gender or both it might be that you want to decide to identify as gay, lesbian or bi-sexual. However, it's fine to explore your sexuality and decide how you identify in your own time.

Because it's just what you like and nothing is wrong with that at all. You like what you like and don't let anyone tell you what to like or not to like.
