Why can't I just be straight?

It's a question that nearly all LGBTQ people ask at some point in their life. That's because we may be treated worse than others. You have to know that you can't be happy not being true to yourself. If you're not straight that's the way you are and it doesn't make you any less human or beautiful.

the question isn't why cant you be straight, the question is why cant you accept yourself. you are beautiful and amazing and there is nothing to be ashamed off ;being another sexuality is completely normal. love is love. it might be easier for us to imagine a life without harassment from others with their limited views of sexuality but you are who you are. be proud of it because for all those who hate you, there will be those who support you. we are here for you, sending virtual hugs :)

Because somewhere down the line it was decided that you would be different. And because of your difference you will become stronger. You will learn to look at life in a completely new and interesting way that will allow you to connect with so many people. Life is going to be hard on you, but you have been given the chance to be stronger than the things that will be done to you. It won't be easy, but luckily, you're not ordinary.

Sexuality isn't a choice it's how you're born so there isn't really another option if you're born not straight that's just how you are. I think a lot of lgbti+ people struggle with feeling like this at some point in their lives and at times when things get complicated and difficult (especially around family problems that might arise as a result). It's important to take time to come to terms with your identity and who you are, once you accept and love yourself it's hard for others not to.

Because it's not that 'straightforward'. Seriously though, being not straight doesn't make you any worse of a person. You're not straight, and that's pretty kickass

It may be difficult but you're exactly who you were suppose to be. It's a part of you that you may eventually come to love.

Each and every person in this world is born and raised with a race, ethnicity, sex, gender, and sexual orientation that will differ with the majority. Although you can't magically be straight, it doesn't mean whatever sexual orientation you identify with is less valid. You are you.

Everyone's not just straight. Most people are different. it's like preferring a chip flavor. Some may like Doritos, and some may like Lays. It's not something you can just... control.

Because being straight is no different from being gay, lesbian, bisexual etc. Accept you for being you. Don't let the stigma force you to hold back. Be true to yourself - this is how you can really be happy.

Because you are born this way, your orientation is something natural and innate. There's nothing wrong with it, and everything wrong with people who judge you because of it. Luckily, there are also inclusive people who will support you! You can be as happy as anyone else, if you allow yourself to follow your heart, live freely, and just do what makes you feel happy.
