Do you think homosexuality is enviromental?

Question

When I was a child I was not informed of society and homosexuality. I was a homosexual teen and honestly I think I had those feelings because everyone else was doing, it was enviromental. A lot of people claim tey were born gay, but I just don't beleive it. A lot of people that I knew claimed to be gay, even a male friend, now he's straight and beleives he had those same feelings do to all of the gay extremity at the time....what do you guys think?

Answer 1

homosexuality is a vey controversial subject when it comes to nature versus nuture. it really is a complex combination of both. they have equally the same influence of a person becoming homosexual

Answer 2

I can't speak for everyone who is gay, but I had homosexual crushes on other boys as early as kindergarten. I seriously doubt that "everyone else eas doing it" when you were growing up. That is an outright denial of reality. It seems you still have some difficulties accepting your sexuality.
I was brought up surrounded by straights and I didn't become straight because everyone else was doing it.

Answer 3

I believe that gender is environmental and that there are far more than two sexes.

Also, the experiences of a few do not always blanket to accurately represent the many. That would be a rather broad generalization.. ^_~

Answer 4

It is said, and or proven that a gay person is already created in the womb. I personally think that something can be done before birth if it's suspected. Having said, it doesn't mean that a gay person is a "bad person". I only have problems with a militant gay person.

Answer 5

I think that a lot of gay people have had unhealthy relationships with unhealthy people, and that is why they end up gay. You often hear of gay people that had a teacher, babysitter, neighbor, aunt, uncle,etc. come on to them when they were young and teach them this life style. After being in this type of a life style because of an adult that they admired has taught them it, they continue on and do the same to other people. I don't believe people are born gay, I believe that it is a choice. Just like people that commit adultry are in an unhealthy relationship that they have choosen to be in. Both are a sinful life style.

Answer 6

it is technically impossible for it to be environmental - many gay people existed before they ever even heard of it, also, studies prove that there is a definite connection between neurochemical factors, as well as birth order, not to mention that it exists in approximately the same percentage in all mammals.

where do you live that homosexuality is the norm and "everybody's doing it"?

Answer 7

Yes it is environmental. Environment is one of the most influential factors that molds a childs behavior. So if a boy grew up sorrounded by gay people will be most likely be gay when he gets older.

Answer 8

Years ago, some psychologists did an experiment. They overpopulated a cage with rats. Their response to this situation was that they began acting in a homosexual manner. It is at least possible that the same mechanism works in human city environments.

Answer 9

There will always be people who claim to be gay because it's in vogue at the time, or they want to be part of a minority, or they want to try it out to see if that's the way they are.

In a way it's kinda annoying but at the same time it's flattery I guess =/,

Cheers,

Answer 10

Science has proven that our brains are pre-wired to be gay while still in the womb. So yes we are set up to be gay from the very begining of life.
