You don't stop being gay. It's a part of you, but all you got to do is accept it. Only then will your conflict cease. Even better. You may be bi-sexual you lucky sob.

You don't. If you are gay, you are gay. It is part of your nature. Just find some supportive people to be around.

Dear Anon,

I value my friends who are gay very much...your presence as a gay person is valuable to the whole world.

There is good research now and several fine books confirming that the GLBT communities contribute to society far beyond their numbers in literature, science, philosophy and the arts. They infuse a life-affirming, dynamic diversity into any culture.

Your sexuality doesn't change just because you're sick of it.  You're gay or you're not.  If you want to be true to yourself ... Find a way to be comfortable with who you are ...

Do you mean being gay in general or with you? Or as in being happy? You can stop you and others from being happy but you cannot stop anyone from being homosexual.

If you want to know how to stop being happy, don't do anything nice and have a pessimistic outlook on life.

I honestly don't know whether or not you can. You may just have to accept that you are gay but if you're looking for a serious answer, there are certain therapies that help with homosexuality, I don't know how it works but I believe some churches offer it.

Hate to break it to you but the answer you are searching for is not an easy one to provide .  Sexual orientation is not a light switch you can choose to turn on or off .  As complicated as it is there is just no way of choosing to not be gay if your DNA has dictated you, in fact, are gay.  Choosing to not be gay would be as easy as choosing to grow taller.  There are many support groups that can help cope with the difficulties and challenges you may face .. That is a choice you CAN make .. You can choose to seek help or you can to not.  

Now having said that, there are many other choices you can make .. Things that you have much more control over .. Like, choosing to be happy, accepting who you are as an individual, choosing to make informed decisions.

I would say you might want to seek professional council. There are all sorts that do work on the state level if you cannot afford.

Finding a way to be content or be accepting of who you are is difficult for everyone. Sexual orientation is just one of the many things we have to learn to accept about ourselves . . .

Accept, first of all, that there is nothing wrong with you.

Get a gender change ... Then you won't be gay, for being attracted to members of your former gender.

Well that handles the genital part of being straight vs gay, but I think it's too early to suggest that such a procedure approaches the status of a "solution."

Well ... since homosexuality is just being attracted to someone with the same genitalia ... as opposed to their "gender identity" ... I think it qualifies as a solution.

Here's the second and third sentences from Wikipedia: As a sexual orientation, homosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions" to people of the same sex. It "also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions."

The first sentence was: (Homosexuality) "is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender."

I don't agree that homosexuality is "just" attraction to someone with the same genitalia---especially when doctors have to make judgment calls to t some parents as to what sex their child should be raised as.

Whether you are gay wanting to be straight or straight wanting to be gay, I suspect that someone in such a position will need the assistance of a professional counselor to help you decide how best to go forward.

I highly encourage you to seek such assistance.

Its a sin. God says so in the Bible. The first thing u need to do is to get on your hands and knees, ask forgiveness.

Allow the Lord into your life. God is a gentleman and He won't interfere in your life unless YOU ask him to.

Last step is to live your life according to His word. Find a church where you feel comfortable and have a heart to heart with the minister.
