why are some peopl gay?

Answer 1

People are gay because they have feeling for the same sex. Many believe they are born that way.

Answer 2

People may be gay because of a mix of genes, hormones, and life experiences. It's a natural part of who they are and usually becomes clear during teenage years. It's important to be kind and accepting of people, no matter their sexual orientation.

Answer 3

The short answer. They were born that way.

Most scientists researching this question are seeing their research pointing to at least a biological if not genetic origin of sexual orientation. This evidence is increasingly showing that sexual orientation, whether gay, straight, or bisexual, is probably set very early on -- if not in the womb or at conception. In other words, they believe sexual orientation is inborn.

Now, many people -- particularly people who are opposed to homosexuality on especially religious grounds -- reject this theory, saying that there are a lot of examples of people who were gay who have been "cured" and "made straight" through various kinds of "therapy," whether psychological or religious. However, it is important to remember that the American Psychological Association (APA, the national organization of professional psychologists) does not take up when or how sexual orientation is determined but it does say that there is nothing inherently wrong or unhealthy with non-straight sexual orientations; the APA further considers therapy meant to "cure" homosexuality to be at most ineffective and at worst extremely harmful to the health of people who have same-sex attraction or are gay. This kind of therapy is part of what is called the "ex-gay" movement, but it is important to note that there have been scandals in recent years of supposedly "cured" gay people being caught in gay bars or engaging in gay relationships, and the largest ex-gay organization in Great Britain actually disbanded a few years ago because they realized they were having no success in curing people -- slowly coming to the realization that sexual orientation cannot be changed.

Now, people who believe that sexual orientation can be changed are usually confusing homosexuality and heterosexuality with bisexuality; obviously someone who is bisexual can be sexually attracted to people of either sex, or conditioned or taught to seek out relationships or sexual experiences with only the opposite sex. However, truly heterosexual and truly homosexual people cannot truly change their sexual orientation; at best, they can become celibate (avoiding sex), which is not the same thing as changing one's inborn sexual orientation.

More and more research will be done in this area in the next decade, and it is likely that one or more biological or genetic sources of sexual orientation will be found. However, most believe that sexual orientation is at least inborn and not something chosen or mutable. They believe it's simply the way someone is born.

People are gay for all kinds of reasons. Some people are gay because that is all they know and some are gay because they feel they love someone of the same sex.

It's the way God made some of us.

Why do straight people exist?

Considering they are born that way you should probably ask God that if you are religious. if not they are here for the same reason as everyone else.

People are gay partially because of their genetics, and partially because of the hormonal environment in the uterus during gestation, as far as we can determine. The source, in other words, is biological. This is not something that people decide to do just to annoy you.
