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)

I think it's both lol, I'm homosexual myself and I know it's for me nature, but in some cases I think it might be something that happened to someone, like I knew this girl who was lesbian and me and her were pretty good friends, one day she ended up telling me that she was molested as a child and ever since then she hates men. but it's not a mental health issue, I don't care if you didn't intend to offend you did, and I'm pretty sure you sexuality doesn't have to do with your mental conditions.

What are you talking about? You simultaneously say it relates to both nature and nurture, but then say it has nothing to do with the mind? 'Mental' = 'Of or relating to the mind' or 'Carried out by or taking place in the mind'
The reason for my putting it under mental health? Because it relates to the mind. I Guarantee that if I didn't put 'don't be offended' - you wouldn't have been offended, pseudo.
Thanks for the input though.
