That has nothing to do with sexuality. That is just the gender roles society places on us. Boys can play with dolls and come out straight later in life, same with boys who played with trucks can come out as gay.

I played with cars, and trucks, and hated everything girly. I was the stereotypical boy growing up. The only "girly" thing I did was play with a baby doll, but that was only because I wanted a sibling as a kid. Years later, I'm bi, but by what you're going by I should be the straightest guy ever.

lol okay. sure it doesn't.

if you aren't born gay, then you aren't born straight. if certain factors cause you to be gay, then certain factors cause you to be straight.

When I first saw the title I was ready to answer YES, cause I thought what you wanted to know was if being gay is an option or if you are "born with it". In this case, no, it's not an option. I can't change it. But I wasn't born gay. I remember liking boys and girls until I was 7. Now, just boys.

Seriously??? Do you even know what love is when you were a baby. How are you gonna assume you were into girls when you were little. LOLZ

No one is born gay. End of. People who say otherwise don't have a clue what they're talking about.

I personally believe we all are/were bisexual but end up with a definitive preference somehow trough experience. Like, you can't be born with a preference on liking Britney over Christina without living through it, can you?

obviously infants aren't born with immediate sexual attractions to the opposite or same sex. I think people who are saying they are born that way are speaking in the terms of people being born with genes that influence it. There's more science supporting that it's something dealt with on a biological level than not.

I don't think he means it in the literal sense since sexuality tends to arise moreso in the prepubescent stages. However it's clear that children who end up being gay probably show clear behavioral signs when they are young but they are usually ignored until the sexuality factor arises.

I wasn't attracted to guys until I was 14 and it wasn't that I was in denial. It just happened so to answer the question, not always.

Straight people weren't attracted to girls until they were 14 either.

[MusicTalker]

Yes.

As strange as it is, I never found girls attracting, I love them more as "pals". The first time I felt something for someone, I was in kindergarten, and it was for a boy. I knew since then that somehow I was in the wrong way.. but that I knew what I wanted (the ****).

Once, only once, I found myself questioning my sexuality, and that was because I started feeling weird things for my best friend (who's a girl) in 7th grade but it wasn't sexual, it was more like puppy love. And that reinforced my feeling about boys: I want to ride them.

Interesting. Never looked at it this way. This just goes back to the fact that everyone is different. No two people are the same. Some knew why they wanted from the very beginning and for others, it took them awhile to come to terms with it. None of us can say we know what happens because we really DON'T know. My theory is that we can't help who were attracted to or fall in love with; you can't control that feeling. That's what I believe in.

I don't believe you come out of the womb having an attraction to the same sex. However, I think homosexuality is ingrained in your hormones shaped by influences. How those influences shape your sexuality intrigues me. I grew up playing several sports, had that stereotypical dad/son bond, had many male friends and the other constituents that make up a stereotypical male childhood yet I turned out gay.

[DrogoBrush]

I personally feel it depends on where you were raised, your family, your friends and things you experience in your life that helps decide it.

[Midnight]

That whole influenced and nurtured to be gay theory is flawed. I grew up around nothing but homophobes, so it clearly doesn't apply to everyone.

And dead @ people trying to tell others what they are and aren't.

If that was the case then gay parents would all have gay children.

[psychodj]

The reason I say that the "environment" theory and that other stuff is flawed is because of certain reasons.

If your entire family is straight and are VERY homophobic, and don't even associate with gay people....however, you come out gay. Same with same sex parents; if that's the case, all their children would come out gay, but there are some cases were they end up straight.

[Alejandrо]

I believe we are, or at least it develops quickly after.

[Deuces]

Yes. I was looking at gay **** before I even knew what homosexuality was.

[rivers]

I can't speak for the gays as I'm not gay but I believe in the theory of you're born with your sexuality. I mean, I didn't have a choice to like men or women. My attraction to men just happened.

[alfonso12]

We are were born gay/straight/whatever, but some people may take some years to recognize it.

I know I knew it since I was little cause I liked to draw Disney princesses in the back of their books.

[katara]

Yes.
