Even though it may seem like everyone is sexually attracted to the opposite sex, this is not true. In some countries like Canada and the United States, there are gay men and lesbians in every occupation, leading successful lives. When most of a person's sexual thoughts and activities are about people of the same sex, this person may be homosexual. Women who are sexually attracted to other women are called lesbians. People may feel strongly attracted to a person of the same sex.
Someone can think and fantasize about people of the same sex without necessarily being homosexual.
Young people, especially, need to explore their feelings. Just because you are attracted to a person does not mean that you have to have sex with them. You may admire the person and or have a loving, caring, sharing relationship without sex. You do not have to be sexual with anyone until you are ready. The stereotypes of homosexuals on television or in movies bother many people.
