I'm a 17 year old boy. I know that I'm gay, or at least I know that I like boys, I haven't (I don't think) had any sexual attraction to the opposite sex, emotionally though, that's a different story. I knew I liked boys since I was like 10-ish. Though at times I think I'm demisexual or asexual, I think my libido is very polar. I wouldn't say I'm feminine but I'm not masculine to any much degree - but I'm not androgynous, and my voice is kinda higher and gay sounding, but that's alright because I can hit a high C XD and well the D above that on a good day. My uncle is gay, and my grandparents did send him to a straight camp (my grandpa is a Baptist deacon) -- it's funny cause his brother and his wife were protesting it hehe. On the same side I have a great aunt who is lesbian, she is also one of the greatest women I know. I also remember always liking girl stuff more as a little kid, like I would actaully steal my younger sister's barbies, and once I did wear some of her clothes. And in video games I would always want to be a girl, and when I was in 2cd grade my friend and I would play like make believe and stuff and I would be a girl. But I would have no desire to crossdress now, but I really love looking at women's clothing and accessories, kind of like Lana Del Rey/Americana styled, like I saw this coin purse that I literaly was in love with, I would have bought it if I had money; one of my friends said that it was an attraction to femininity.. but I don't understand what he means by that. I tend to get along better with girls, but I have a lot of guy friends too, and a lot of them being pretty masculine, so it's funny lol. I really though, don't want to be a girl nor have a vagina whatsoever. It kind of sucks though, cause my parents are both religous and conservative, (though Im an atheist and liberal) , and my older brother is like them too. But he isn't really a homophobe, but not an ally by any means, and he and my dad make a lot of gay jokes and my dad litarely makes fun of my mom for having a gay brother saying that his side of the family has no gay in it, because for some reason that makes him better.. they have a bad realtionship.I think I was in 6th grade and I was caught with gay porn and they made me pray to Christ to make me straight LOL. And my mom read a text that very much hinted that I liked boys last year and she said that she didnt want me anymore, but I just denied it all. And I go to a Catholic school cause my dad is Catholic, there are a few people that are homophobic, but even some of my teachers think that they themselves are infact gay (it's really funny), but I kind of make a joke about it or flirt with them if they make fun of me, but most people dont really care at all, which is cool, and somehow my whole school knows, I dont know how. And someone made rumors about annaly masturbating with a cucumber, and that I eat my own ***... I havent done either, and it pisses me off that someone would say that. I also was attacked freshman year.. a guy who I was sending fake love letters to pushed me down some stairs then jumped on top of me and try to punch me, but I stood up laughing so I won ;)... though I got ISS....then his friend posted a pic of his broken hand (he missed me and hit my the concrete floor) on facebook and said this is what happens when ___ punched a fag, my mom saw somehow, and showed my school and they did.... nothing. -,-

I'm also like really insecure like most girls are... and it's really annotying

1 all teens are insecure 2 what do you mean why are you gay? I could ask myself why do I need glasses? why is my hair brown? its just the way you were born you can either live your life or sulk about things you cant control

don't focus on other people's opinions of sexuality to find your own, it makes things a little cloudier. you don't necesarily have to be asexual to lack a sex drive, they CAN have libidos like anyone else, they're just not ATTRACTED to any genders. any sexuality can lack sex drive, being attracted to someone doesn't really have to link up to sex if you don't want things to go that far.

Why are you gay? Because you were born that way. There really is no reason for why you're gay you're sexual orientation is determined at birth and it is what you must live with.
