Some is by choice, some is by outside corruption, some is confusion, but I think some percentage is genetic.
There is a hyper-feminine x chromosome thesis that has no proof but anecdotal evidence. It is that the X chromosome from the mother is so superior that her daughters are very desirable, hyper-feminine, but her sons Y chromosome is overwhelmed and they are effeminate.
That is hardly scientific, but I know that a large percentage of the most feminine, beautiful, erotic women I have known have had homosexual brothers. I am not the only one to notice it either.
That's interesting. However, I've known several effiminate guys who were not attracted to me. It's possible tho, that effiminate men tend to be treated like girls by other kids so they begin to identify themselves that way. Is anyone doing studies these days on the possible cultural/social causes, or is that to unPC?

I have noticed this anecdotal phenomenon as well. However, I also noticed that the parents were screwy too, and it seemed to me that their kids swapped gender roles so as to compete for the attention of a particular parent. (ie environmental)
I seriously doubt the existence of an exclusive "gay gene", simply because we are talking about behavior and not a simple physical trait like hair color. IMO, if there is any genetic predisposition at all, it's likely to be very complex and have about as much influence as genes do in the development of our other personality characteristics. I say, go ahead and do the research...maybe they'll eventually find the pedophile gene, the bad manners gene, the moonbat and FReeper gene etc. Yeah....that would be great...
Meanwhile, there is a body of environmental factor evidence out there.
Jiminy, cannot you recognize the behavioral influences there? That "certain" "mothers" "have" whatever behavioral type children in whatever type combinations?
Human behavior is a complex thing. There's learning even in the womb, and yet we aren't supposed to acknowledge THAT, either, because that would mean that people who abort fetuses are engaged in murder.
"Hyper femininity" occurs when children are encouraged and instructed to behave that way. Or, they have some mental issues influencing them that remain undiagnosed because they are deemed socially acceptable (overt sexuality to some is not deemed abnormal, obsessive-compulsiveness, narcissism, many of these disorders can create hyper sexuality, as can schizophrenia for that matter).
I agree with you, but I think only that very feminine, small featured women, come from parents who were that way....thus, brothers are not going to turn out macho-macho....they're going to be slight and pretty similar to their sisters.....
I have perfect evidence of this in a related family group.....very beautiful dtrs and grandtrs but with more than one homosexual man in the mix.......and those men are slight and sort of "pretty"......
