I've put this under mental health, because I wasn't sure what else to : please don't get offended by that.
Now, we all know that your sexuality isn't a choice. But what determines whether you are homosexual? Nature (you are born homosexual) or nurture (your surroundings) ?
I know people who say they remember being gay forever. I know of others who turn, when they go to same-sex boarding schools. I read a book about one of the most famous all-boy schools in the world. The guy was saying how they didn't know a world outside of the school, and growing up meant they had urges. Because of this, they experimented sexually, and this is where many people 'turned'.
But is it both? Is it different for different people?
I also heard that those who lack a father figure are more likely to be homosexual. This is obviously a generalization, but is there any merit to that statement?
Thanks! (link)

The brains of homosexuals tend to look more like those of the opposite sex (in other words, the brains of male gays tend to look more like those of females and female homosexuals look more like males) than those of heterosexuals. So it's definitely genetic.
One thing, though: whether people choose it or it's genetic is immaterial to me. Minding one's own business is a virtue and this would be a better world if more people did that. If you wanna love another guy and you're a guy, great! If you're a guy and want to love a girl, great! And etc. It don't hurt me any and love is a beautiful thing!
