Is being Gay a Choice?

Abstract

There is no accurate or specific explanation, all inclusive for being gay. It may be easier for a person to tell what homosexuality is not. This is not defeated genetics, hormone imbalance, mental illness, or the result of possessed by a demon. Homosexuality or being gay means that the men get attracted emotionally and sexually to other men, naturally. It is also known as a physical and mental imbalance.

Being Gay, is what?

The gay is a person who is having strong physical and emotional feelings (the need to get closer to God, interaction with others, the desire to love and be loved in return) that are not met. Why do people feel this attraction to same sex? Homosexuality gained through a complex mix of influences and personal choices.

Another factor to consider is what happened in their lives. Some may be injured emotionally, and this affects what they think of themselves. They may have been victims of sexual abuse or they have had a break with one, or both parents (having spent much time with those who want to leave homosexuality, we find that many of them have experienced one or more of these experiences (Brown, 2001).
