<p dir="auto">Being gay just means that someone is attracted to his or her own sex. Most of us would not have chosen to feel this way, and many of us tried very hard to become “straight” (attracted to the opposite sex). But even straight people can’t choose whom they find attractive. You can’t force yourself to become attracted to someone who isn’t attractive to you, and you can’t force yourself to think someone is unattractive when you are actually attracted to them. (Believe us, we’ve tried!)</p>
<p dir="auto">However, any of us can choose how we wish to behave. If a gay person chooses to be sexually abstinent, or to go on a date, or to try to change their feelings through prayer, or any other behavior, that is a choice. Being gay is not a choice, but the way we respond to our gay feelings is always up to us.</p>

</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">This thing you are describing? It's called bisexuality.</p>
<p dir="auto">I personally believe that the vast majority of human beings are actually at least a little bit bisexual, but because of social norms they tend to repress the side of themselves that is attracted to the same sex. That's why they like to pretend that they "chose" to be straight, and that "choosing" your sexual preference is actually a thing, when it's absolutely not. Because, yeah, you can technically choose what types of people you engage in sexual intercourse with, but that has nothing to do with who you're sexually attracted to. If you're attracted to both men and women but choose to only engage in sex with one of them, then guess what, you're still fucking bisexual, it doesn't mean you're "straight by choice". This repressive attitude toward same sex relations has gone on for centuries.</p>

Then with 15 I totally fell in love with a guy and I kinda decided that boys are so much better than girls and from that day on I was gay…</p>
<p dir="auto">... until I was like 23. Back then I was surrounded with girls and even though I was in a relationship with a boy at that time I started to get interresested in girls. And then I actually fell in love with a girl. Even though it did not work out with her I got excited to know how it is to be with a girl.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then I started to go to University and there were really many hot boys around me. And the straight side around me totally vanished for like 3 years. At that point a girl seduced me(even with guys I usually was more the seducer) and I was in a relationship with her for about 2 years.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now that it has ended I think really badly about girls.</p>
<p dir="auto">Right now I am really happy that i am attracted to guys and I can just choose to be gay.</p>
<p dir="auto">Edit: My opinion on the matter:</p>
<p dir="auto">I think people mostly get influenced by the people they meet and fall in love with for the first time. I know a guy who has like a perfect character and even though he is not my type (he is not ugly, but he is just a little bit too hunkish for my taste) I feel a little bit attracted to him.</p>
<p dir="auto">And the other thing is: If you only meet one gender all day long I think it is just a matter of time until you find yourself attracted to that gender.</p>

<p dir="auto">pretty much the same here. i do no think this is a thing to choose. it is for me more like a thing to become aware of. it happens that i am attracted to way more male friends than female friends. that makes me a what? a 70-30 gay-bi? i am still not sure where to put me.</p>
<p dir="auto">i like to compare that question, to "did you choose to be straight?" - idea.</p>

really curious at nature and I decided one day (with 16 i think that I wana check out gay porn) with 22 I actually had the first thing with a guy <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f61b.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--stuck_out_tongue" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":P" alt="😛" /></p>
<p dir="auto">never actually saw guys as possible sex partners through highschool,  that ideea came only later :))</p>
<p dir="auto">At the moment: still Bi and enjoying life. It's not the sex of the partner that matters it's the partner itself, for me <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f642.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /> (that's how i define BI)</p>

<p dir="auto">So technically-speaking, the answer's yes. Partially at least. Because I did NOT choose to be straight. Similar to those other people who 'chose' to be men and straight.  <img src="https://community.gaytor.rent/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f609.png?v=57695cee877" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-apple emoji--wink" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=";)" alt="😉" /></p>

<p dir="auto">Imagine if being gay is brunette and straight is blonde</p>
<p dir="auto">If you are brunette, you just <em>are</em> brunette. You can dye your hair blonde all you want - spend a lot of time and energy and even money trying to get your hair as blond as possible.. but guess what? you are still 100% brunette and no amount of covering that will change that.. and in the end the brunette will always come back and is a lot of work to get to blond again.. and, sadly, will ruin your hair, sometimes permanently..</p>
