i was talking to one of my friends and the topic of how bad molestation is came across, and it made me think

i believe gay people are born gay, as straight people are born straight

i also come across the idea that child molestors are natrually attracted to children, its within their dna and their own basic instinct to be attracted to children

is their any evidence that disproves my theory?

Not yet, they're still mapping the human dna afaik. Personally I doubt the existence of a "gay gene"~

But how do you account for people that switch from straight/gay or vice versa? Were they gay all along?
Seems more likely to me that people are products of their environment shaped from a base genetic potential

Sexuality is a long and mysterious thing.

That's all I know and that I've learned.
