Why am I attracted to people of the same gender?

Its just how you are, we are all so so different, you were born like that - dont let anyone else put you down or get in your way x

It is because you are gay. It is completely normal. Don't worry about it. You are born this way. Lots of people are. You may also be bi, pan, or something like that so if you want, you can research about it.

Unfortunately there is no clear answer to this, outside of some pretty specific neuroscience which wouldn't explain why so much as how. You are simply attracted to whomever you are attracted to, and that's ok.

Well, you might be gay! Here's the good news: not only are you not alone, you're going through something completely natural. As long as you're not hurting anyone, it's totally okay to be attracted to the same gender! Feel free to explore labels and find what fits you, or choose none at all.

You might be a Lesbian/gay/bisexual. Lesbian/Gay are those that are only attracted to the same sex only. Bisexual are those that are attracted to both sexes.

It's just how you are, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Some people will try to tell you that being straight is the only accepted norm, but the truth is, being attracted to the same gender is perfectly fine. Millions of LGBTQIAP+ people can vouch for that.

It's just the way you were born. Sexuality isn't something that you can help or control. Coming to terms with being part of the LGBT+ community can be really rough, especially when you come from a background where the community is extremely looked down upon. I was lucky to have been able to come out in such a socially liberal setting as New York. I was taught my whole life that whatever you wanna be is fine, as long as you're happy and not harming anyone. My sexuality and being with girls is something that makes me happy and something that really isn't impacting anyone in a negative way. It's not your fault if other people react badly to the way you were born. It's sort of like if you told someone you had an outie belly button and they told you it was just a phase or that it was unacceptable for you to be that way. You were born that way. It's completely fine to be attracted to the same gender. I promise.

Why are people attracted to the opposite gender? Attraction is natural, be it sexual or romantic or just wanting a friend, you're going to love someone. Simple answer: you just do.

There is nothing wrong in how you feel. Some people are attracted to the opposite gender, some to the same gender, and some are attracted to both genders. There is nothing wrong in any of these and all of them are normal. No one can really answer a "why" but I can assure you that there is nothing wrong in it. I know it can be hard initially, but love and accept yourself as you are. You are much more than who you are attracted to.

Attraction is something innate, something that is born with us, and any kind of orientation is totally natural and normal. You have feelings for people of the same gender because you were born this way, and it's ok. Love is always love, attraction is always attraction, it doesn't matter who you share it with, as long as you follow your heart.
