Like I said, if it was genetic, there's no logic in that gene surviving evolution for hundreds and thousands of years. My own personal scientific theory is that it's a personal choice the individual makes. Until I see proof to the contrary, I don't think I'll be persuaded to believe otherwise.

But the idea is that it isn't a gene, but merely a more balanced amount of hormones. Everybody has both male and female hormones. Men have more male one, women have more female ones. But if a man has a closer balance of man - woman hormones, he may be attracted to males, as women are. It's the same but opposite for gay women. It's not really one gene. And though it's no fact yet, it's more than just a theory, as they have a lot of evidence to back it up, but not enough to make it totally conclusive.
I personally don't see how it could be a choice, because if it were, the gay people who receive constant abuse for it would merely change. But they don't because they can't help how they feel. Same as I'm sure you wouldn't be able to stop finding women attractive, even if you tried. |
