I knew I was when I was 5. Figure out NOW that it is ok and that it doesn't matter if people accept you or not. You just accept yourself and strive for quality of life. Decide now. Do you want to find a loving life long spouse? Or a life of addiction and pain? Took me a while but I found a great man. Was worth that choice when I was a kid. Make the choice now so you don't have to later. You really can be in a loving long term gay relationship. It gets better!!

5^ Your advise is wonderful. I totally agree and hope the poster reads it and follows what you say. I am not gay but do have gay friends and love them just the same. In fact, I don't think there was ever a better time to be gay. People (most) are lots more accepting than they used to be. It will get better for you, the older you get. People will either accept you or not. Surround yourself with people who do accept you for who you are. Don't go around people who don't. You only have one chance at this life and be authentic to yourself. Find good decent partners and hopefully one day, a life partner will journey through this life with you. Thank you for coming to our site and sharing. Don't pay attention to the dumb posts. Some people have no heart. But MOST of us do. Be gay and be proud. My advise would be to quietly and effectively live your life the way it makes you happy.

You're only sixteen and you're just figuring out who you are, so don't jump to conclusions.I've had sex with 32 women and twenty nine men - BFD! That really does not change the kind of person I am. Good luck to you and G-d bless.

Don't go overboard - you're very young, and that's not a decision you have to make right now now. If you're not gay, it doen't matter, and if it turns out you are gay, it's no big deal.

I mean that so many people had the courage to come out of the closet and talk. It opened most minds and hearts to understanding that people don't just wake up and "choose" to be gay. They just are. And it is OK. If I were gay, probably coming out to my parents would be the hardest thing to do. But after that, I know that most people are lots more open and understanding than in the past. That's what I meant.

Religion is why gays are not accepted. Thousand year old ignorances still influence that it is a choice, and therefore a sin, rather than the reality that it is a biological/cellular dysfunction.Op, you need to do some self evaluating. Are you really gay or are you, because of your age, just sexually curious? I do not believe any kid sexually matures and does not imagine same-sex fantasies. Even if it is just a fantasy and goes no further. You need to take some serious alone time to determine if you are gay, or just willing to hold it in your mouth until the swelling goes down.

Too soon to tell. At your age its common to believe/feel that.

I am a gay man who has been lucky enough to have been with the same man for 28 years. We have been extremely happy and have been lucky enough to have the support of both of our large families. You will have to face who you are inside and whether or not you want to act on these feelings you're having but whether you decide to be with guys or girls you owe it to yourself to always play safe.You will know when the time is right to let others know about who you are and who you love. Just remember to be honest with yourself and stay true to who you are no matter what anyone else might say. Remember... Those that care don't matter and those that matter don't care.

1^ That is good advise. Like what you shared from your experience. That makes a real difference. Hope the OP reads and understands how profound your statement is. Thanks.

I am not gay but wonder why when people write to people who are or think they are, they act like it is all about SEX. It is more than SEX, it is a whole being with all emotions and happiness and problems just like people who aren't gay. Why do people always immediately go to SEX ? I don't get it.
