Is it a choice?

Is being gay or lesbian a choice? That is today's topic.

There are people that believe that people choose to be gay or lesbian. Some people believe that being gay or lesbian is a sin. There are people who believe that a person who is gay or lesbian can change and become straight. And there are people that believe some combination of the above. And whatever you believe in is fine with me. Believe what you want about gays and lesbians, but don't force your opinions on me.

We do not choose wether we are gay, lesbian, bi, or straight. It's just how we are born. I don't have absolute proof to prove that people are born with their sexuality. But I believe that we are born with a specific sexuality. I know that I wasn't born straight, and that I was born gay. I know people who were born straight that know for sure that they weren't born gay.

As a young child I was not fully aware of my sexuality. But as I've grown up, I've learned about myself and my sexuality. I learned that I wouldn't be like anyone else. I learned that my sexuality was different. But no matter how long I tried to deny myself of my feelings, they kept on coming back. And it was when they kept on coming back that I knew that I was gay, was a lesbian, and that I would never be able to change how I feel for other women.

Religion

Being gay or lesbian and religious don't seem to mesh for many. I've heard of people who are gay, and abandoned their faith because of their sexuality. And then there are those of us who are gay, and still believe in God. I'm one of those who has managed to merge their sexuality and faith.

Having read quite a bit of the bible, I have discovered nothing against gays and lesbians. I've found parts that say that prostitution is wrong But I haven't found anything that directly says that being gay is wrong. The bible says to love one anouther. The bible says to treat others as you want to be treated. The bible to says not to judge one anouther. I try to live by those three rules every day. I try to love everyone in my life. I try to treat others in the way I would like to be treated. I try not to judge others.

If you're religious, I understand if you don't agree with me. If you aren't religious, and you don't agree with me, I understand. That's not the point. The point is that merging you're sexuality and religion isn't easy. Some people manage to do it, and others don't. Find what you believe in, and stay with it. It isn't easy to merge being gay and religion, and I understand that.
