Maybe you over looked the part where the shape of the labido can change.  I can argue with you that the shape changed because of a cognitive decision to give in to homosexuality.  i cant blame them when they are overwhelmed by sexual tension caused by being away from the opposite sex over a prolonged period of time.  The dramatic change from being heterosexually active to non-sexual is extremly stressful in a prison situation.

I wasnt talking just biology its all so psychology...


Uh. Maybe you overlooked the part where I said the labido actually isn't a real part of the brain. It doesn't exist.

You're making stuff up at this point. I think you're thinking of the word libido, which is just a word for sex drive. It isn't associated with any region of the brain in particular. What you're doing is like saying theres a part of the brain called hunger.

Nature, I doubt they can control that... I mean you can't control who you are attracted to

Nature: they're born homosexual
Nurture: their rearing makes them become homosexual.
You decide, use well-known, agreed upon facts to support your argument.

Let's change it around and consider what heterosexuality is. If it's nature or nurture, I'm pretty sure it applies for homosexuality.

i agree with everyone whos says it is a mix of both...

"Identical twins have identical genes. If homosexuality was a biological condition produced inescapably by the genes (e.g. eye color), then if one identical twin was homosexual, in 100% of the cases his brother would be too. But we know that only about 38% of the time is the identical twin brother homosexual. Genes are responsible for an indirect influence, but on average, they do not force people into homosexuality. This conclusion has been well known in the scientific community for a few decades but has not reached the general public. Indeed, the public increasingly believes the opposite."
