i think is more on how they grow/what they learn when they are a child. my mom's friend used to take care of a 7 yr old boy who used to play with barbies,
his mother even bought him some so that he could play.


if this was true then why would someone brought up around sports and a more male dominated life still be homosexual , the same as a girl being brought up by a male dominated life and still can be either straight or gay

You are born gay most of the time due to certain genes you have inherited.

It's probably both. Hopefully, we create a pill that they can take so that they can feel and act straight.

It's not genetic but its definitely determined before you're born.

A lot of it has to do with organizational effects of prenatal hormones. That's pretty obvious. Most lesbians carry markers of androgen exposure while in the womb.

As far as the people saying being raised playing with barbies makes you like dudes, the ancient greeks didn't have barbies. Our conceptions of masculinity and femininity are societal constructs. It has nothing to do with gender orientation.

why do you care if they are gay or not?

i dont think it has anything to do with genetics, its upbringing/personal choice whatever you want to call it.

That is not proven. If it was, we wouldn't be asking this question. :3

Doesn't matter, this isn't your religion you can simply arbitrarily take your views on. This is a scientific discussion in which beliefs should be kept to a minimum. :)
