what?!?
You have came to the wrong place.Here we are proud to be gay and happy to love ...not ashamed and wanting to be something we are not. Maybe you should talk to a psychiatrist or a preacher or something because gay is good,nothing wrong with it and nothing to exercise the demons away over..for your own mental health,be real and be yourself, whether that means you are gay,straight,bisexual,whatever you are. Its OK.

Homer hit the nail right on the head - Be proud of who you are, and take some time to reflect deeply - If you are Gay, then that is absolutely fine, and you will realize soon enough who your real friends are when they accept you for who you are. Your family will love you no matter what.

Do not be ashamed of being Gay. Don't be afraid to try and look deeper into your feelings towards guys.

NEver ever be ashamed of what you are, you cannot be counselled out of those emotions, they are normal.

My fav quote "Perception is all there is as there is no reality." It means that morals don't exist unless they befit us as a person, therefore noone will evere agree with what you do.

If you feel something towards someone, show it, Im a 25 yrs old mom, getting divorced but I came to terms with this a while back.

I think the lot of us here will always be supportive and homerx is a gigantic sweetheart as is the other ones!!

Btw if you are really ashamed and need to get over speak to a doctor or a counsellor, they will tlel you its normal but if you feel its not, they can probably help. A priest will tell you its wrong and will brand you as sinning, mak eyou feel horrible even if you can't control it.

Good luck~!

Honey, what they said!!! Be proud, there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and you cant get rid of feelings that are natural and beautiful. What would make you want to get rid of how you feel? Be who you are and dont try to act like something your not...it will make you much happier in the long run")

I agree with everyones replies. Being in the exact same situation as you 1 yr. ago I can relate. It came down to me deciding on being myself or be what everyone else wanted me to be. It is completely ok with who you are and dont let anyone ever tell you different. Gay, Bi, Str8 be it and proud of it.

I'm a bi man, but before I finally came out, I tried to suppress and deny my feelings towards men.
That inner hatred drove me into a spiral of depression, which scarred me for life and nearly drove me to suicide.

If your religion forbids you from being gay, or you'd be disowned, or executed, or something like that, you can always be celibate (or, if you have feelings for women too, you can only act on those). But you can't change your *feelings*, and DON'T TRY TO DO SO! It will only hurt you in the long run.

Even if you're a hardcore religious antigay person, in which case I know I won't change your mind about morality, think of it this way: there's nothing wrong with having FEELINGS, it's just God testing you or something like that. If you don't act on them, it just proves you're a MORE moral person for having them, because you can "resist temptation" or whatever.

(Obviously, I say love is a beautiful thing irrespective of gender. I don't agree with that negative view, but celibacy is better than self-hatred, depression, and suicide.)

you ask for help you get it
i am sorry but i do not agree with every one when you come here you wanted to get rid of some thing you do not like or feel good about something that bothers you or maybe you are sick of. so you should do what ever makes you happy. if you want to get rid of the gay feelings you can do it. it is easy. the best thing is to keep your self busy something useful avoid watching gay porn and have a healthy relationship with a girl. when any thoughts come to your mind about any guy stuff or any thing that bothers you forget it and try to think about something else with time you will get over it. my point is you can do what ever you want to do and you can be what ever you want to be no one can ever stop you or control you there is nothing impossible in this world.

Denial doesnt change anything..........
and being gay or lesbian or bisexual is good and right and healthy for people as long as they don't have head trips about it...denial is a sickness,not being curious about your sexuality.
If you don't want to be gay or bi then don't but do not deny who you are or you will just mess yourself up..like so many preachers and priests and ministers do..the closet is a lonely place and it is for clothes,not people.
