yeah, the scientists are still trying to settle it too, so far evidence is pointing towards a combination of things, but genetics is one of the more promising prospects

Scientists are increasingly finding biological differences between gay people and straight people and these differences are usually attributed to genetics. Scientists tend to agree that although being gay is genetic, it cannot be attributed to a single gene but is caused by a number of genetic factors.

I think you are born with it, but i don't necessarily think it has much to do with genetics. I think that it is just a beautiful fluke of sorts. I'm gay myself and I know i have always been gay, but my family is mainly gay free so I don't think its genetics exactly

It's probably genetic. Otherwise there wouldn't be any homosexual behavior in the animal world.
