Why do you think some people are homosexuals/bisexuals?

There's been a thread on this if you want to read it.

 

I personally don't think it's biological, at least not for most people. People don't even have an understanding of gender until after birth, much less any attractions to any specific genders. Likewise, I don't see how people would already have sexual preference before they can even understand the difference in genders. How does that work?

I am going off topic here but that's an interesting question and it deserves its own thread! before the age of 13-12 (i.e. before I started masturbating , before I learnt aboout sex and before desiring men sexually)  I used to stare at the same type of people that I am attracted to sexually right now, I see them in public places and just stare, thinking they were beautiful creatures. 

I wonder how everybody else's experiences were before puberty, make an epic thread about it Jay!

OT:

What people don't realise is that Not all gay people are gay on the same level, there are 6 shades of gay out there, resulting in wide variations of resutls from studies  like the one posted by happysquirl.

I used to stare at boobs when I was like 6. I think homosexuality is biological in origin, and people are just born with it.

However why does my view matter to you Jay? Like you said, why do I care about other peoples lifestyle if it doesn't affect me in any way? Why do you care that I view homosexuality in the same way I view schizophrenea, as a biological disorder predestined onto you. Schizophrenic people, who are born with the disease, don't develop symptoms until their early 20's. Not everything happens immediatly.

The thing is, I have nothing against gay people, but I view the homosexual condition as a disorder, like the majority of scientists do. Is this a bad thing that I view things for the way it is? I don't care about what people view homosexuality in terms of social or religious environments, and isn't that enough? I treat homosexuals fairly, I don't feel pity for them like an autistic child, but I do sympathize because of the way people are treated.

However, I'm not going to change my view unless you show me a reason to. If researchers relate it to biological factors, if they call it a disorder then so will I.
