Why am I gay? I hate myself.

You are born gay. Theres nothing you can do about it. The sooner you learn to accept yourself and learn that its normal, the happier you will be.

Being gay is not a choice, there's no reason why you are. There's absolutely no need to hate yourself, embrace yourself for who you are.

Well there is nothing wrong with being gay, actually most other animals display homosexual tendencies

Our sexual identity can be influenced by many things, both biological and environmental. The first time an individual experiences these feelings, they may feel positive emotions. Other times, it can leave us confused or unhappy. Feeling unhappy with our gender identity can lead to individuals experiencing poor mental health. In recent years for example, LGBT people, especially young people, have been found to be more at risk of mental health problems, to the point they may even attempt suicide. Statistics suggest that 1 in 6 LGBT students in the USA have considered a suicide attempt; those who have family members who reject a young person’s sexuality are 8.4 times more likely to contemplate this option. In the past, some individuals have felt the need to attempt to change their sexuality through conversion therapy, but this is now considered unethical and potentially harmful to such individuals. Important things to remember is that although you might feel you do not like how you are, that you are not alone in your experience and everybody is entitled to feel how they want about their identity. If your family members are accepting of your sexuality, perhaps having a conversation with them about how you are feeling may be helpful. Likewise, there is the LGBT community on 7Cups and on LGBT sites that may help you through your emotions.

Dudeeee theres no problem in being gay. not at all. that is no reason to hate yourself. its your life and its not a wrong to like people of the same sex.

no

You shouldn't hate yourself for being gay. It is as natural as someone being straight is. You are either gay, straight, bi, pan, etc when you are born, it just comes out at puberty.

You should never hate yourself for being born the way you are. You are beautiful. Don't let anyone else ever tell you otherwise.

There's nothing wrong with liking the same sex, it's not a choice if you feel attracted, it's a natural feeling.

I'm sad to read that you hate yourself for being gay. Being gay is just as natural as being straight. Unfortunately, some people are ignorant and judge others for their sexuality, but there's nothing wrong with being gay. You're gay because you were born that way and you're no different than anybody else. Your sexuality is what it is, it can't be changed, nor should it, it's completely natural and pure and it's just one part of who you are. You are so much more than your sexuality and you're good enough as you are. Try to figure out when your self-hatred formed and see if you can't reduce it until there's no much hatred left, because you deserve to love yourself and be happy. Try to get professional help if necessary or talk to friends or whoever is good to you. Don't be around people that fuel the self-hatred!!!
