Hello.
Today's blog post is titled misconceptions, it will abolish some common misconceptions of why people are gay.
Why am I gay?
Why do I fall in love with girls instead of boys?
Why don't I see my future with a guy?
Why do I want to marry someone of the same sex?
Was it my parents fault?
Was it because I struggled to get a boyfriend?
Was it because I want to rebel?
Was it because no boys wanted me?
Was it because I wanted attention?
Was it because I grew up without a significant male role model?
Did my family not love me enough?
Did a guy hurt me too much?
Did I just decide this one day?
Is it just a phase?
Would you like to know why?
I am gay because this is the way I was born.
This was not a choice.
I like girls because that is who I am.
We are all born the way we are there is nothing that will change me liking girls instead of boys. My sexuality does not depend upon any other factor in my life apart from the way I was born.
Unfortunately I was born into a world where people ask these stupid questions.
Unfortunately I was born into a world with homophobia.
A world where people who aren't straight get treated differently and discriminated against because of the gender of the we fall in love with.
Is this going to stop me being loud and proud about my sexuality?
Is it hell.
I will be who I am no matter what anyone else says or thinks.
I will walk around holding the hand of my girlfriend and kissing the love of my life because that's exactly who she is, the love of my life just because we're two girls does not mean our love is any less adequate.
Love is love no matter gender or sexual orientation.
I am gay because that is the way I was born not because I was hurt or I wasn't loved enough or because I'm rebelling .
I was born this way and this is the way I will be.
