I know no gay people who regret being gay -- even though some have lost their jobs, been driven from their professions, and cannot marry the person they love and have lived with many years. Everyone has regrets, but most gay people I have known well think that their sexuality is closely tied up with their identity. Most of them have paid a price to be who they are and in or out, many are happy with their choice. Gay children and youth are something else. Few understand the implications of their attitudes. Many of their parents have criticized them almost from birth for their preference. Many have few friends and some have never known a gay friend when they go to college. Yet, even with these disadvantages many are or become happy once they are with people who accept and value them. That's what really bothers many of those who hate or malign gay people. The gaybashers would be perfectly willing to have gays around if they only died from AIDs (providing an object lesson for straight little boys and girls), were beaten and killed by bad people, or suffered miserably from a sense of sin. There is nothing quite so annoying to the pious as to see the unchurched having so much fun on Sunday morning when all good people are supposed to be miserable.
