This is a difficult one, whether homosexuality is nature or nurture. There was some talk of a gene for it, but no-one of standing has identified it. There are all sorts of chromosomal abnormalities, like Fragile X Syndrome, but in those cases a person's sexual preference is the smallest part of their problem.

I don't believe that a person is necessarily straight or gay, a lot depends on their experiences and the influences exerted on them at susceptible times - after all, almost everyone has a crush on a same-sex teacher or prefect at school, it's a normal part of sexual development.

And before you ask, yes, I do have a degree in Psychology!
