No. Some people are sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex. Others are attracted to people of the same sex. This "sexual orientation" seems to be genetic -- it's not a choice, and it's not a disease.

In some cultures, though, homosexuals are treated as if they had a disease. This is a mistake -- all the research we have indicates that homosexually oriented people are just as healthy as anyone else!

Is being gay a chemical imbalance in the brain?

First of all, "imbalance" is the wrong word, since being gay is not an illness or disorder. Second, this theory has been proposed many times before. It is not in imbalance, but there is some evidence to suggest that it is a possibility that gestational hormones, combined with certain gene sequences affect sexual orientation. More research is needed, however, to understand why and how it occurs, and also how it results in the manifestation of homosexuality in the person itself. The chemical combination is caused by the balance of intrauterine hormones in the womb during pregnancy.
