No not at all! Love whomever you love do not worry.
It is not wrong. It is not a choice to be gay you are born that way just like straight people are born that way. It is not something that you can control and it had been scientifically proven that it is in the genes so don't worry about it you can't change it.

It's not wrong. It's natural part of your character. You cannot choose who you love. You are born this way. Although it may be hard to accept at first, one day you'll be comfortable with the fact that this is who you are, and no one can make you anything else.
No not ever. Being gay is a part of who someone is. Its just like having green eyes. Its a part of you but not all of you. You can't control it and you don't choose it. It just is. Society gives messages that one thing is "right" and another is "wrong" but that is untrue. There is no one way to be, and there is no "right" way to be.
Not at all. Being gay is not a choice anyone has made. People are just people. Please, if you are feeling confused upset or sad about reactions of others talk to a therapist, connect to your community, talk to a listener here you feel connected to. I am here for you friend, feel free to reach out and find support where you can, know that you have it here.
No. It is perfectly alright to be gay as it doesn't define you as a person it just helps make you who you are, it just affects who you are romantically/sexually attracted to.
No it is not wrong to be gay. It is perfectly normal, just like it is to have any other sexual orientation. If you are gay then that is totally fine, it is you and nobody should say that being who you are is wrong.

No, of course not! Why would it be wrong to be gay? Being gay is just like being straight, it's a sexuality and they can't be wrong. it's just who you are

No, it's not. There is nothing wrong with loving who you live no matter what gender. There will always be people who say hurtful things about people who are gay, but ignore them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving the same gender.
Being gay or any other sexuality is not wronger than being straight. People tend to think so but it is not at all.
No! You can not choose who fall in love with. You can't control the weather or time and you certainly can't control who you fall in love with.
It is never wrong to be the person you are!

Being gay is not wrong. You were born gay and it's okay. Love is love.

We should all be free to love whomever we want to. Love is the same wether it's between a man and a woman, 2 women or 2 men. As long as both people are happy and care about each other, neither is at fault.
No it is not wrong to be gay. Being gay is something you can not help. You can not control it. Don't be ashamed if you are gay be proud of who you are, because you are you and you are perfect just the way you are even if you are gay.
As someone who I among the LGBTQ+ community I do not think so. I used to ask myself this question a lot too because I grew up among a family that told me that it was unacceptable and wrong, but I no longer think this way. Being gay is simply just loving someone of the same gender which I do not think there is anything wrong with that.

It is definitely not wrong to be gay. If you are gay, it is because you were gay from the moment you were born. It is just as much a part of you as your hair color or your height. You can't change these things, no matter how much you try. You are you, and you should love yourself as yourself.
Best of luck to you!

I was raised as an East-African (Tanzanian) and Catholic, and I was taught that being gay is a wrong thing. I asked why and it's because in Leviticus, one of the verses says this: “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.†This means that you cannot be gay in this point. In my opinion, homosexuality is quite normal in America. I understand that many countries in Africa DON'T allow it due to its highly religious rules. In other words, I don't think it's wrong to be gay, but if you are highly religious, then yes.
Absolutley not! Is it wrong to be hetrosexual? is it wrong to like onion but not garlic? its all genetics. its not something you can choose, to be gay is a part of your life and who you are. dont hide it. embrace it. :)
