In the past, many people felt that homosexuality was sinful or abnormal, and there are still some who think it’s morally wrong or the sign of a mental illness that needs to be ‘cured’ by a psychiatrist. However, nowadays, most people no longer feel that homosexuality is either wrong or an illness. They feel that it’s a personal matter, that some people just happen to be homosexuals and that being homosexual is a perfectly healthy, normal and acceptable way to be.
What’s a bisexual?
A bisexual is a person who is equally attracted to males and females and whose sexual activities may involve either sex.
If a person has a lot of homosexual feelings while growing up, will this person be a homosexual as an adult?
Having homosexual feelings and experiences while you’re growing up has nothing at all to do with whether or not you’ll be a homosexual as an adult. Some young people who have homosexual feelings and experiences while they’re growing up turn out to be homosexuals and some turn out to be heterosexuals. Some adult homosexuals had homosexual feelings while they were growing up; others had heterosexual feelings; still others didn’t have strong feelings one way or the other while they were growing up.
Can a person know for sure that they’re gay even though they’re still young?
Yes. At least, some gay adults say that they knew they were homosexuals right from the time they were teenagers or even from when they were little children.
