Do you think people who are gay can change their sexuality and become straight?
Yes, with a lot of trying
Yes, possibly
No
If a guy has feelings for another guy very briefly in his teenage years during puberty, but they only last a short while, does this make him gay, even if he's had feelings for a few girls already?

I don't have any sort of relationships because i can't get into a regualar(not gay) relationship and i don't like the feeling of being gay. I don't agree with being gay so therefore i just have to not enter the dating scene.

The Christian Faith is against being gay, so therefore, gays musn't have been born gay, otherwise the Faith would be hypocrytical - it would be God putting Gay people on the earth but at the same time, He does not believe in Gayness. Do agree with this statement?
Yes, gays are not born gay
No, gays can be born gay
No, gays are born gay, and God puts them on earth Gay, but it is a test for the gay person not to fall into tempetation and begin gay relationships. Being gay is like being handicapped - you just have to live with the disadvantage
