A Sex confession
When I was 7, my mom "caught" me and the girl who lived next door, also 7, naked playing "doctor". Mom got mad and said we were 'dirty' 'filthy' little kids and that what we were doing was 'horrible' and 'dirty' and 'wrong'. Mom forbid the girl to come on the property and told the girls parents what we had done. Mom told me "Don't EVER do that with a girl again." The girl never spoke to me again and her parents held it agains me even though it had been the girl's idea to begin with. I told my mom that but she didn't believe me. I stayed the hell away from girls because I didn't want my mom to think that I was doing 'something' with them. Anyway, when I was 14, in high school my hormones were kicking the shit out of me. In swim class there was this feminine looking boy with long blond hair and he appeared to be interested in me. One time, while we were in the locker room, he came over and put his arms around me. when he kissed me, my hormones kicked into high gear and I knew i had found my lover. Thanks, mom for all your help.

Obviously your mom overreacted. I wouldn't be too hard on her, she may have had some issues in her childhood that made her react this way. As for being attracted to guys... well, I am a gay guy and I'm not sure I would change it for anything.
I have been in a relationship for 4 years with my partner and I couldn't be more happy. Live your life for you, doing what makes you happy.
Definitely don't let someone shame you into thinking you're not a man if you like men. You'd be surprised at how many of the people with that mind set suppress their own homosexual desires. Follow your heart.

Dude, back up a minute. OK so Mom is a psycho and did not know how to help you deal with the opposite sex. That is all well and good, but now that you are older it is time to take responsibility for your own life. Drop the homosexuality and self loathing and get your mind right. You know that you really want to be with women. Do the right thing and be a man.
