Science has proven that the part of the brain responsible for sexual preference is chemically different in homosexuals and heterosexuals. This difference in chemical balance is not something that can be changed by force of will. Thus, it is not a learned trait.
The chemicals in the brain serve to fire off varying emotions or involuntary compulsions. The chemicals controlling sexual preference partially influence hormones and cause the feeling that is enticed by seeing someone to whom one is sexually inclined.
In men, scientists have theorized that those with older male siblings are more likely to be homosexual than those without older male siblings. This is because in an odd sense, the mother's body views male fetuses/embryos as "foreign objects", more so than they do females. After a time, some mother's aversion to the comprehended foreign objects may affect the chemical balances of the brain in regards to sexuality. This, however, is a satisfactory answer to very few because it does not explain oldest-born male homosexuality or female homosexuality.
While homosexuality is caused by the way a brain is "wired", this does not mean environmental factors do not affect it. In particular regards to bisexuals--certain early-life experiences may sway the individual to be attracted to members of their own sex or members of the opposite sex. Truly homosexual individuals and truly heterosexual individuals have not been found to alter their chemical inclincination to like the opposite of their original preferences.

i trust homosexuality is genetic, yet I also i imagine you're incorrect to think about it a disease and incorrect to point we ought to continually attempt to remove the gene from society for both moral and pragmatic causes. Ethically speaking, homosexuality does no damage to all of us and so might want to not be categorised as a disease. neither is it uncommon or restricted to people. Pragmatically, there's a actual probability in 'turning off' any gene, in a large number of circumstances, those genes have both helpful and detrimental effects. Take sickle cellular anemia for instance, the gene that motives the disease also facilitates preserve antagonistic to malaria. Or, the gene that motives sociopathology also makes human beings extra pushed and useful. that is like introducing new species to an ecosystem, it kind of sounds like an excellent theory, besides the indisputable fact that the outcomes in many circumstances outweigh the benefits (see cane toads and rabbits in Australia).

I think for some people is may related to some child hood trauma.
Some may also be related to a chemical/genetic inbalance...or born gay if you may. Nowadays it's a difficult issue to explain. This generation is so wrapped up in this "culture" where it's okay to kiss the same sex and not be gay. I may be wrong about this new "emo" thing that's going around, but the music bands that cater to this image also promote homosexuality on their covers,spreads,videos. The last time I checked, fans tend to act,dress, even talk like their favorite artists. I think emo is the new term for homosexuality.well...i guess its not homosexuality, it's just emo.

Homosexuality is NOT a learned trait. I'm not certain if it is in the genes...but I know for certain (personal experience) that it is not a learned trait.

It's in the genes, a truly straight person could "try" to go gay for years but will never fell an attraction to the same sex. Also, many gays try for a long time to "go straight" even getting married and having children before realizing that they are just wired to be gay.

I believe it depends on your very first sexual experience. I love women, I love what they do when the do it! However I have read, asked all the important questions. And I find that all of my friends who are gay all say the same thing.... they can all remember having their first sexual experience was with someone of the same sex. What a pity!

Everything starts with a choice. to choose what you wanna eat in the morning, if you wanna go to work today or not. Being gay in not one of thoes things, its either your gay or your not. there is no need to choose witch side couse your mind is already maid up.
