I too believe people are born gay, it's not a choice. I have never seen much reputable evidence to show it is from nurture as opposed to nature. We are almost at the point where we can confirm that it is nature over nurture. And I agree, that bit about the conservatives who refuse to believe that a gay lifestyle is not a choice really was just saying it like it is, I admire the journalists ability to just be honest and open about that, even a filthy liberal like me can't say it so straight. |
I wouldn't completly rule out nurture either.
The gay or straight thing isn't exactly like bign Male or Female or something like that.
Additionally, what is seen as attractive in men and women does vary culturally and as time passes.
A man born today and that same man born in 1200 AD would be attracted to two totally different kinds of women.
It's not unreasonable to think that a man born today, and a man born a thousand years from now may be attracted to totally different genders.
There just isn't any nurture evidence because nurture evidence is almost impossible to gather and usually relies on the absense of nature evidence.
Since people are far more complicated then would allow for easy study.
It could be a combo of both Nature and Nurture. Afterall homosexual relationships in some cultures were generally seen as rights of passage and practically universal.
