Gay people no more like or dislike being gay than straight people like or dislike being straight.
As a gay man, my sexual orientation is as much a part of me as my hair color, my left-handedness or my dislike of reality shows. It just *is*, without conscious choice on my part.
Are there drawbacks to being gay? Yes. And I wish there weren't. But I can honestly tell you that a) it's not a choice, b) I knew my orientation before I was 10 years old and c) given all the disadvantages of being a gay person in a majority straight society, I wouldn't change even if it were possible. Which it isn't.
Another Perspective:
It depends on the person you ask and the life experiences that person has had. Just like with straight, bi, trans and queer people, some have positive experiences and enjoy their life and some don't. Usually--I find--it's harder for kids and teens and becomes easier and more enjoyable as one gets older. Also, those who embrace their gayness are much happier than those who live in the closet.
----------------------------
I am gay and I like being me. I have no more shame about being gay. It has been long road. But I am glad to be who I am. It is such a waste of time to hate yourself for being gay. To many GLBTQ people spend years hating themselves. Such a waste of those years. I wasted to many years on this but no more. To anyone who reads this, I am a pretty damned good person and so are you, don't let anyone make you believe otherwise. :)

Short answer: No. First of all, people don't have a choice about being gay. It's like being blond-haired or tall: it just happens. Of course, a lot of people don't like gay people and they might pick on the gay kid. That's not fun, but it's not the gay kid that's being "bad" -- it's the people who tease!

Why are so many people turning into gays and lesbians?
No one can turn gay. It's simply not possible. It may seem like there are more gay people, but that is only because society has become more tolerant. Years ago if people were gay they would have to hide it and lead a double life. Being gay was like being a criminal in those days, but because society has changed this means that more people are out as gay.
