What is really going on?

I’m from a country (Jamaica) where homosexuality is strictly not allowed. Where I’m from specifically in Jamaica, they used to go out there way to kill homosexuals, and they would always get away with it. Right now I’m in America, living with my mom and dad, who aren’t exactly “against” homosexuality, but they don’t want anything to do with it, and they don’t want to deal with it. My dad swears it’s an illness/disorder, and my mom makes it obvious she doesn’t really accept them. But I’ve been questioning myself a lot? I’m an artist, I love drawing, painting, photography, all of it. But I’ve found myself attracted more to nude photography and artwork of women in the fashion world. Being raised in such a culture, I’m starting to think something’s wrong with me? I know it might sound weird for someone to be like “ermahgerd i’m gay ’cause i like nude art”, no it’s more like, I would sit and go out my way to stare at it for a long time. I would draw it all the time, my favorite photographers, and painters create nude art. I daydream of it, I save pictures on my phone, but it to me doesn’t feel like anything sexual? Like I’m artistically attracted to it? I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore, has anyone a clue what’s going on?

You just like the beauty of the human body, then. It doesn't feel to you like it's anything sexual, so it's not. Simply nature's greatest creation (human beings), captured by the great artists of today. :p Sorry if this didn't quite make sense either. -Amanda

I completely agree with braveheartamy. The human body is very mysterious and beautiful. Maybe that's why it's so hard to capture the gracefulness and emotion portrayed within our body language. You said it yourself that it doesnt seem like you're attracted to them sexually so it shouldn't be a problem.
