Environmental...it could be, partially. But plenty of segregated, patriarchal cultures have still had very low incidences of homosexuality. As far as can be ascertained, single sex schools do not produce more homosexuals than co-ed schools. |
I don't think that lessens the significance of environmental factors. In my opinion, environmental factors deals more with how a person learns to perceive men vs women (or femininity vs masculinity). It deals more with how someone learns to value males or females and therefore associating pleasure with one over the other. Same sex schools have very little to do with encouraging someone to value same sex. Same sex schools only make students come into contact with the same sex. That doesn't suggest that they would value same sex. If anything, it suggests that people would value the opposite sex since it would be more rare.
