Studies show that the levels of testosterone in gay men are equal or even higher than heterosexual men. The levels of testosterone get higher in older women and get lower in older men. There are also some interesting experiments on male rats show that the estrogen injections don't affect the sexual orientation of male rats that haven't been castrated. That made me believe that genes and hormones levels have very little to do with our sexual orientation, in except of some very extreme cases that don't apply on the average gay man.
Is it a psychological factor ?, well, Studies show that child sexual abuse is a contributing factor for homosexuality ( rates of childhood sexual abuse in gay men are approximately 3 times higher).
I believe it is more of a psychological and environmental factor than genetic. Could it be a mix of all that ?, it could be. What I know is that the matter is not so clear-cut as many people of both camps would like it to be.
