Why am I gay? I hate myself.

You don't have to hate yourself for being you. It is the ignorant, closed minded majority of the society that hates you. True love can occur between all people, regardless of gender. Be proud! :)

You shouldn't hate yourself because you're gay, you should embrace it because it makes you special, there is no specific reason as to why you're gay, you were just born that way

Don't hate yourself, appreciate it. Be happy that you found someone you love. Embrace it, face it, and chase it. :)

You are very important, and being gay is a part of your identity you can learn to be okay and maybe even happy with! Hanging out with LGBT+ friends and peers, reading up on accounts of those who have been in your shoes, and/or taking part in groups like PFLAG, your school's Gay-Straight Alliance or any other pride groups, these things can put you on a road to accepting this part of your identity.

being gay isn't a choice, however it can be hard in certain circumstances to feel able to speak out about it. You shouldn't hate yourself for being gay and instead just need to talk about it with someone, I specialise on GLBTQ+ issues so if you want to talk about it some more and try make sense of it all I am always here to listen.

Being gay is no reason to hate yourself. Its who you are. You are a unique individual and dont have to be the same as everyone else. In fact, it makes it interesting if you are not, you have a better insight into life.

Being gay isn't a bad thing! I know it can seem like it, but it's really not. Many outside influences may make it seem like you're not worthy or good, but you are. Your sexuality does not define you.

I personally believe that people do not choose their sexual orientation in the same way that they can't choose their eye colour. I am so sorry to hear that you are in conflict with this part of your identity. I would maybe suggest talking to a listener on here to help unpick why you may be feeling like this and hopefully find helpful ways to manage these emotions.

Any person or object that does not share similarity with billions of other living creatures on Planet Earth is considered odd and rare. They are often prone to bullying and hatred, but you have to understand that there will always be a second thought, so nobody else shall be bothered with your sexuality. Nobody knows why he/she feels something towards something, it is just the thing you are, allegedly, born with, whether we aretalking about sexuality or love towards your job. That is how we are formed as individuals throughout our lifetime and we can only accept it and live our life to the fullest, because being gay is not a rare thing and there is a whole little world of people who feels the same way you do.

Try flipping the question; "I'm gay. Why do I hate myself?". You can't change your sexuality, but you can change the way you think of yourself. It's a shame that parts of society don't accept other sexualities than hetero, luckily that's changing. But you can't help the way you are, or the way you love. Believe that people will love you for who you are, and try and love yourself.
