Born gay.
Scientific researchers who specialize in human sexuality have shown that homosexuality is linked to biology and genetics.
An October 2004 scientific research publication stated that scientists at the University of Padua have found that women tend to have more children when they inherit the same genetic factors linked to homosexuality in men. This fertility boost more than compensates for the lack of offspring fathered by gay men, and keeps the “gay” genetic factors in circulation.
Another scientific study said that researchers have known for years that a man's likelihood of being gay rises with the number of older biological brothers, but the new study found that the so-called "fraternal birth order effect" persists even if gay men were raised away from their biological families. Anthony F. Bogaert, Ph.D., professor at Brock University, said "The research suggests that the development of sexual orientation is influenced before birth."
The older-brother effect was constant regardless of whether the men were raised with natural, adopted or stepbrothers. It also didn't matter if they weren't raised with their biological mothers. If gay younger brothers and older brothers don't have the same home environments, what do they have in common? "They shared the same uterus, the same womb, the same mother," Bogaert said.

I think some make it a personal choice out of curosity, but for the most part I believe people are born gay. Its seem like during the birthing process something got mixed up, I dont say that to offend anyone, but have you noticed most lesbians act like men and the men are femine. Just an observation,

Im crying as i write this....and i dont know why....but here goes..
in some instances i do honestly beleive that some ppl may be turned gay....i mean take the young women who has been sexually abused by men her whole life who now finds comfort in the embrace and touch of a woman? or the young man who is constantly hurt by women in some way who then decides he feels better with another man?
were these ppl in these scenarios born gay? do we honestly know? or were they turned to thier own gender seeking solace because the opposite gender hurt them immensely?

I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly didn't choose to be lesbian. I'd be a LOT happier if I could just be heterosexual. I might actually have a date once in a while....
