Why am I gay? I hate myself.

Everyone is individual, different and unique. There isn't a reason why someone is gay, straight, bisexual, trans or so on. It's just who you are, focus on yourself, the unique qualities that only you have and find the positive in this.

Please don't hate yourself. Being gay is nothing to hate yourself for. Love is love, and sometimes you love people of the same gender or sex. There's nothing wrong with being a man who loves men. The only wrong is hating yourself because of it. You should love yourself regardless of your sexuality. I know, sometimes that can be hard, but self-love is one of the best things you can ever have.

You can't choose your sexuality, but what you can choose it how to feel about it. Your feelings are more normal than you believe and I assure you there are people in your life who have/are experiencing the same thing. Finding peace with yourself and your feelings is difficult for most people. Things like meditation and calming activities are great resources for you to start.

You are gay because that is the way you are meant to be. There is no choice. You are just gay. There is nothing wrong with being yourself. Don't try to suppress it it will only make you more unhappy. Learn to love who you are. Others love you for it when they see you loving yourself.

Don't hate yourself! Being gay is amazing and its something that makes yourself unique. It might be hard right now, trying to accept who you are but one day, you will embrace it. Right now, know that you do not have to come out to anyone you do not want to. You can watch YouTube videos about other people's stories and you will realize that you are not alone, there is a big family supporting you and standing behind you. Being gay is something you can not change. I would say that you are really brave for facing the world, because many people don't understand you, which I do not understand. I promise that one day, everything WILL get better.

You’re gay because that is just how you feel. Being gay makes you no different from everyone else. I used to hate myself as well. But i learned to love myself for who i am and accept the fact that i fall in love with the same sex. Being gay is just you falling in love with a certain type of person. There is nothing wrong with falling in love. Falling in love is what makes us beautifully human. Your ability to love someone should be celebrated. It is a gift to feel the heartbreakingly beautiful pain of falling in love. Cherish it.

Because you were born like this. Homosexuality is something natural and innate, as science has confirmed. That's only your way of feeling and loving, it doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else. You can have a happy and normal life just like everyone else, and you too can be happy in love. Getting in contact with the LGBT community and seeing that they are all normal people who can be just as happy as anyone else, might help you reconciling yourself with your identity.
