Tricked.

My cousin showed me a nude picture he found on the net of a very pretty lady from the waist up. He asked if I thought she was attractive and I said yes. He then scrolled down and there was a dong. He laughed at me as I quickly left.
Is it still sinful even if I was tricked into being temporarily/unknowingly gay?

What does "gay" mean to you?

The human body is beautiful an all its aspects, seeing a naked body of the same sex is in no way gay.

You hate to think of yourself as a gay person. I grasp that. Your friend played a prank on you. Here is what I think happened:

Most parts of the body function in opposite pairs. Your mind likely functions with both attraction and repulsion like the opposite pairs of muscles in your body or like the sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems. You see a ball -- your mind thinks of it as part of you but also as not, two different points of view in tension. Its the same with other things, other people, ideas, places. Its the psychology of me/not me allowing you to function as an individual and to pull together all of your experiences into a single life story. To understand anything is to desire and to be repulsed, to connect with and to separate from. Hence that little peekaboo joke your friend played on you was a little disturbing. Its also why little kids love peekaboo when they are in development.

I think so because of some things I read about child development.

Let's not be too hasty. There are situations where observing a naked body of the same sex can be extremely gay.

Can it? I've never noticed, have you?
I've noticed somesuch situations turning rather gay indeed.

I suppose one could argue that these situations can be as gay, or as little gay, as we want them to be, from not being gay at all, to being moderately gay, all the way to being extremely gay, or really anything in between.

It's all in the mind, you want to ogle a body of the same sex then you will ogle. That doesn't make seeing the same sex as gay it just indicates you have gay tendencies.

Other people don't make you gay. YOU make you gay. Relax, it's fine.

Being attracted to a male doesn't automatically make one gay.

Unless by "gay" you meant it made you light-hearted and carefree. :D

I think he was less concerned about seeing the naked body of the same sex and more concerned that he was attracted to it.

What does "being temporarily/unknowingly gay" even mean?

Who cares. Are you 12 or something? Even if you are, get over it.

A couple of things worth noting here;
1 Being gay is not sinful.
2. If you meant is it sinful according to the Gospel, it was sinful to look at a naked picture of a woman who is not your wife. So why ignore the gospel law about lusting after a woman you are not married to then get upset because of the gospel law about gay men?

Sounds like you are a cherry picker.
