What if Someone You Think Is Gay
Throughout the past couple of months I have been receiving some basic questions that I feel deserve attention. Therefore, most of society still lives in the dark ages wondering if gay is a choice? How did I become gay? What did they mean? Can prayer heal my sexual orientation? Therefore, I have composed the following;
What does “gay mean?Someone who is attracted to people of the same sex is Gay or homosexual. These words can refer to both men and women, although a lot of women prefer to be called lesbian. Someone who is attracted to people of the opposite sex is called heterosexual or straight. Someone who is attracted to people of and the opposite sex is called bisexual. Gay, straight, or bisexual are all the terms that describe persons sexual orientation or identity and sexual orientation simply refers to the sex (or gender) of the people you are attracted to. In other words, if your sexual orientation is Gay, then you are attracted to someone of the same sex.
How do you become gay?You cannot become gay, just like you cannot become straight. This is how it works: all of us have feelings of sexual attraction. Most of us have these feelings for people of the opposite sex. Some of us have these feelings for people of the same sex. Some people have feelings of sexual attraction for both the same sex and the opposite sex.
What exactly are “feelings of sexual attraction”?As we grow into adolescence, and our bodies change, we begin to have strong feelings of attraction that are different from and more intense then, the good feelings you might have for a relative or friend. It is the strong feelings of sexual attraction that make us want to have a sexual relationship with some of the same sex. These feelings began before puberty, and for others they do not calm until after we become full adults. These special feelings of excitement and desire are difficult to describe, but you will know them when you experience them.
Are gay people, able to become straight through prayer?
NO. Gay people cannot become straight through prayer. That Idea is just as unrealistic as thinking that heterosexual people become gay through prayer. Still, many people have encouraged their day children to pray for a healing to occur. Christian fundamentalists are the backbone for many gays believing in self-hatred that is associated with self-esteem and self-worth issues.
