Thailand truly surprised me—incredible kindness, acceptance, and safety everywhere I went. It felt so normal to see queer people, and I never felt out of place, even at temples or in bathrooms. Such a beautiful, welcoming place...

I didn't see a baby roll out gay. I saw a child misdirected by their parents. I used to love playing superman as a child. My parents didn't take me to a bridge and pander to childhood thoughts till it turned into a full blown delusion. If you're gay, that's your choice AS AN adult fine. Don't try to say you rolled out the womb, reading, running, talking, knowing how to dress, knowing how to use utensils, and already having a sexual orientation. We as humans don't carry genetic knowledge. We learn all our traights from one source or another. That is why schooling is a thing.
Ur not that’s a decision you make or your parents make way after ur born 🥀😭
You not born gay. Idk why people think that. I was delivered from that lifestyle and I never told anyone I was born that way.
BORN THIS WAY!!🫡
Why would I choose to have a harder life yall…being gay isn’t a choice
You can be born gay... the bible( for those who are Christian) states that everyone is born in sin. We as individuals are not considered accountable for our sins (wrongdoings for Non-Christians)until a certain age and even then NOBODY has been without sin. Let the individual experience their own journey and let God work.
I’m not going to try, I’m going to tell you nobody is born that way. God is not creating people that way, God is totally against it.
No one is born gay. It's a choice.
easy you're not.
Everyone is genetically defective. We only quibble about the What's and How much... You are just strange and odd 😆
I'd changed her mind 😆😂😂
You’re not born gay. You are influenced and then you make a choice
I ain’t ever seen a gay baby.
There's zero proof of people being born gay.
You can have more masculine or feminine traits or attributes regardless of your sex and that has absolutely NOTHING to do with sexual orientation. One has nothing to do with the other. Part of growing up is learning and understanding you can’t and shouldn’t just do whatever feels good in the moment. That goes for people of all orientations. The large majority of people who aren’t straight have had some sort of experience in their life that negatively impacted them or was traumatic for them which then creates a flaw in the natural progression of behaviors. Also you actually can make a decision to not act upon sexual deviancy if and when you discover you have them just as you can any other thing in your life. Self control/self discipline these are virtues society lacks in a major way and it needs to change.
You aren't born gay.
Standing in my truth. I wasn’t born that way I just chose to be. yes I’m happy and gay.
I can make a child grow up into thinking it’s a dog. Oh wait!! They already do that.
It’s definitely not a choice. Who you are attracted to is biological. Duh.
Unnatural
No that’s how your parents raised you.
i have no issue with gay people I just believe you are groomed to be gay encouraged or even pushed into it by an influence in your life and instead of thinking for one's self you as a person believe what others do around you as your own idea and choices
Back in the day we called them tomboys
Its nature and a choice
Nobody cares !!!!
I don't normally chime in on these, but some of the comments have me bothered so I thought maybe I should just once! I have a few family members that are not straight by any means!! Why because I absolutely believe they were born that way and that maybe somehow their genes got confused. When we are first convinced we aren't girls or boys (look it up) we are one chromosome. So I think that once they were fertilized with the x or y chromosome something else happened! I have a gay older brother, two of my uncles (brothers) are gay, two aunties (sisters) that are gay, one older sister who is bi (but mostly prefers men), and I have a son who is bi but his twin absolutely loves women where my bi son I think is more attracted to men! I have 7 kids and only 1 out of them is "confused" is how he puts it. I am 1 out of 8 kids and only 1 is married to another man. My brother also has severe seizures. This is just my opinion though I'm Not saying its facts or anything.
Your parents failed you miserably
bc I just can't believe someone is born gay sorry I can't
U not born gay u grow up wanting to be gay
Your NOT…..
I went to high school with a guy that I had gone to preschool with and then our preschool graduation pictures. you can see that he's gay in that picture plain as day. he has an extremely flamboyant pose and expression with a play telephone and it's insane that you could see it back then
That’s doesn’t mean shit I knew a girl like that from elementary school. All the way to college she was a tom boy and dated women. She had multiple girlfriends, and committed relationships. After she didn’t graduate from college she. Met a fire fighter male and go pregnant with his kid. Today she has 4 kids and has been married for 9 years.
its still a choice that is made, she chose what she chose
If you think being gay is a choice, and you’re hellbent on that, it means you most likely have had gay thoughts and desires — yet chose to oppress them to conform to social norms, choosing to be “straight”. In other words, a closet case. Can’t convince me that I’m wrong.
Maybe you're a tomboy
who cares. I don't brag about being straight
yeah, we used to call that a tomboy and 99% of them grew out of it.
Tom boy sports yes , but no no one is born to like the same sex . It’s not natural
This comment section is pissing me off. You can be born attracted to women, or you can be born attracted to men. Maybe both! It’s not a ‘choice’. To the straight homophobes, stop making people who are born attracted to the same gender feel inhuman for being attracted the same gender. They literally can’t control it. Just because you were born straight and ‘normal’, doesn’t mean every single person on earth is born that way. so get your head out of your ass and learn some basic biology before you talk about some ‘being gay is a choice’
Environmental and childhood trauma make up most of the community and then they usually always have a vice like meth or alcohol or cocaine. -member of community btw
she has kids so she obviously ain't that gay.
I'm straight. As far as I can tell, my very strong attraction to women happened naturally. I mean, I really like women. The more stereotypically feminine, the better.... Curves in the right places, soft skin, soft lips, high heels, lipstick, long sleek legs, perfume, well groomed hair, jewelry, skirts, etc. It can melt me. Fortunately for me, I married a lady like that. And, I love giving her all the feminine things she enjoys. I can't envision being any other way. So It's difficult for me to think that a naturally straight guy could just one day make a choice and say, "I think I'm going to be gay instead." I couldn't do it. There has to be something natural about it.
Your not it’s just a hormones
nope.
where are the baby gay pics
we're not born gay,but I believe the signs of same sex feelings begin at the age of first crushes like in 5th-6th grade.when classmates and friends show real interest in the opposite sex, it's all about who you are attracted to,who does it for, make your stomach drop,heart skip a beat,or causes your soul to smile,
People are born gay it's us to decide if we went to be straight or stay gay.
of course parents get a say until you're 18 and living under their roof silly
The way you “look” doesn’t mean you’re gay. 🙄
lol notice how you only show pictures when they are not born rather 15 years old when society has impacted them. why do you think he/she has dreadlocks? lemme guess their Jamaican. no dummy it's a decision they choose to pursue. no one is born gay because no baby picks it's gender. you can only be born gay if you come out the womb knowing your own gender and understanding your sexual preference. now does that make any sense to a baby.
😂
Big as hell in every last picture so you weren't 😆
when I was a little kid . I liked to dress like a boy sometimes because it made me feel stronger .. not because I was gay...
You truly believe that. Get help! Pick up the Bible!
Disagree.
And she looks like an old lady because of dealing with women her whole life. 🤣🤣 She looks stressed tf out. 😆😆 Like all of us men.
You’re not born gay.. that easy.
.... good phukin lord. No matter what you think, its still a choice. period.
its from familial attacks mostly.
she was a tomboy. then sexuality after puberty was experimental and turned permanent.
Smh
Bumping fish yuck
