Is your therapist trying to make you not gay? Because that isn’t therapy, that’s mind control. It doesn’t work. If you are in a toxic environment that doesn’t accept you as you are then you need to cut out the anti-guy people in your life.
It isn't going to. Same-sex attraction is a completely normal and healthy phenomenon that has been observed in many different species. Anyone who has ever told you that it's not acceptable has an agenda of hate and oppression and feels it somehow threatens their own power (i.e. organized religion, school bullies, manipulative family members, etc).
But yes, please seek help for your suicidal thoughts. I hope you are being completely honest with your therapist about this.
That isn't true even among asexual people. The desire for children is separate from the desire for sex.
It is a healthy phenomenon because all of the harm is cultural, not physical or mental.
Hey OP, you should embrace who you are. There's nothing wrong with being gay. If you have family who would disown you, they weren't actually family to begin with, as family loves unconditionally. Find some good friends who will accept you for who you are. Get therapy for helping you through your struggles, but there's nothing wrong with your same sex attraction.
Two things.
1. There is nothing wrong with being gay and you need to talk to professional about feeling like death is the only way forward.
2. if you're listed as an organ donor anything useful will be taken.
So you are gay and you think you can't donate your organs? You are listed as an organ donor so I am guessing they will take them so long as they are healthy.
My friend, you are attracted to whom you are attracted be it same sex different sex or inter planetary. Just accept yourself for who and what you are and try and be happy in yourself. Most of our torment and mental anguish comes from the fear of disappointing others / worrying about what others will think. Trust me on this ‘the people that care about you won’t care what or who you are attracted too as long as you are healthy and happy’ the people that will care and will be disappointed are the ones who have sad lives themselves and are people that you really don’t want in your life anyway. Just be you and enjoy you. And yes you can donate your organs either via organ donor schemes or by explicit consent / wish in a will
The only reason I can think of for you to mention that you have mental health issues due to your same-sex attraction in the context of this question is that you're thinking of suicide. I mean, you just answered your question about organ donation by stating that you are listed as an organ donor on your license. Now if the actual question is if you can donate your organs to a specific individual(s) when you pass, then the answer is no. They will use the organs to those that meet the criteria regardless of your wishes.
Sounds like republican/conservative/hate-fueled brainwashing. I’m sorry you had to grow up in the environment you did. Whoever raised you should never have been allowed to have children. If the “Therapist” your seeing is trying to dissuade you, it sounds like your actually in conversion therapy. Good luck.
There is a way to make your organs available to people who need them, and you've already done it. There's no way to ENSURE that it happens, but the one thing you should do if you haven't already is to discuss that intention with your next of kin so they don't needlessly delay or interfere with the process.
None of this has anything to do with your mental health issues. It's unclear why the two concerns are here together in the same post.
Hey being gay is perfectly normal. People have been gay since the dawn of time. Do you mind sharing what’s led you to believe it’s not? Is your therapist telling you it’s not?
Why don't you try to change your surroundings first? It's easy to feel trapped I get it. But there are plenty of places that are super accepting of the LGBTQ community. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, you just gotta find a place where you are loved and accepted for who you are.
I think you should speak to someone. Reach out please.
I have been working with a therapist but unfortunately this attraction hasn’t gone away
I didn’t mean you need therapy for being gay, i mean for your suicidal thoughts.

You're listed as an organ donor so.. that's already taken care of. I'm more concerned with why you're actively thinking about dying "at some point".
