You'd get a real argument from my husband. He's a psychiatrist who has studied and treated homosexuals for over 30 years. Genetics play a part, in males for sure, altho SOME are bisexual.
This article summarizes it well: How Might Homosexuality Develop? Putting the Pieces Together.
The growing number of former homosexuals raises some serious issues with those pushing the genetics angle.
If genetics has a part, then, why hasn't homosexuality been cleaned out of the gene pool.. They don't breed for the most part.. A conscious choice on the other hand could make homosexuality be an ever present option.. And pedophilia (as the first sexual encounter) could also impact life long choices.. sexually and other ways.. and dysfunctional infantile choices "it felt good", could also be a factor..
Basically, it IS a choice.. the obsession could emerge with time.. Pedophilia was an unknown word to most 30 years ago.. and even more as time regresses.. and probably more prevalent than now(pedophilia). "US" being so enlightened and sensitive to the issue.. "WHO AM I", is a question most teenagers and even younger ask themselves.. arriving at purely anecdotal answers.. not having any real facts to base the answer on.. And the indenity arrived at with that question, shapes many lives from then on.. Convincing some, maybe most, of their lot in life.. in a lot of areas.. especially sexual.. Lives based on anecdotal evidence is what the Jerry Springer Show is based on.. and probably Oprah too..
Queer Normalphobes are not just faggots.. and Bull Daggers.
they are Democrats.. and RINOS(generally).. as well..
