Why am I gay?

Your sexual orientation is something you are born with and there`s nothing to be ashamed of.Embrace it.

You are gay because you were born like that. Because you were made to like boys/girls. You are gay because you are you.

Because I am following my heart. I wasn't born this way but merely fulfilling what my heart wants me to do.

No one is sure why people have the sexualities they do. You're a construction of many things, genes and the environment you've grown up in as two of the many factors - and no one knows for sure what causes sexuality. No matter what, every sexuality is valid and every sexuality should be accepted.

There is no why. You just are. Being gay isn't a choice, you were just born the way you were. Being gay is okay.

You're gay because you are. There's nothing reason to it, and there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, we just are how we are, and that's totally okay.

There is no reason as to why you are gay... You just are! It's like asking, why do I like painting? why do I like looking at trees? You just do! :)

I am gay because it is the way the universe made me to be. I fully believe that human beings are born with their sexual orientation already in place. I discovered mine through experimentation, being gay is nothing to be seen as bad or wrong for any reason.

I don't think there's really a why or an answer to this question; you just feel what you feel and if you are romantically and/or sexually attracted to the same sex/gender, then that's just that. I've always believed that love is love and your feelings are valid, be it with the same sex or the opposite or both or none, it shouldn't make it any more or less valid no matter the gender/sex.

You are born that way :) And it's quite normal and natural. Over 1500 animal species exhibit homosexuality and therefore, it is quite natural. There are various part answers that indicate hormone levels during gestation (embryonic development) create these conditions, and suggestions that environmental factors can facilitate the expression of homosexuality. There is no definitive answer. One thing that can be said definitively is that there is no particular gay gene - the complex of genetic factors that plays into sexual orientation is certainly polygenic (a collection of genes responsible for the expression of a trait).
