Scientists have been trying to decode this mystery for decades. Does homosexuality stem from nature (genetic) or nurture (surroundings)? In my opinion, I don’t believe homosexuality would be a genetic trait. I could be wrong but I don’t think scientists have actually singled out a gene responsible.

On the flip side scientists have collected data from the children of homosexual parents. About the same proportion of children ended up being homosexual as compared with having heterosexual parents. That data pretty much suggests that nurture isn’t a main factor in determining a person’s sexual orientation.

Each theory on development has their own take: The Psychoanalytic theory said that homosexuality descended from having a weak father and very strong mother. The Sociocultural theory suggested that homosexuality come from our culture itself. For example, how strong a culture’s feelings toward homosexuality are. Then you look at behaviorism and that theory suggests that it is something learned or conditioned.
Most of which what was just said has been proved wrong or never proved right. We don’t really have a theory that can explain homosexuality and whether it links nature into the equation or nurture. Tell us what you think. Drop us a comment or e-mail!
