We should be careful to separate being gay from homosexual activities. The men of ancient Greece and current day Afghanistan take boys as lovers. This is a learned behavior from their culture. To me, it seems both sprung from disrespect of women. So, when gay rights activists say that being gay is innate and no amount of propaganda can change that, I would offer ancient Greece and current day Afghanistan as counter evidence. These men weren't all born with a different genetic makeup than the countries around them. They perform homosexual acts because it's the norm of their countries. Why Athens and not Sparta? They must have been very similar in genetic makeup. So if a culture promotes homosexual activity, there will be more of it, regardless of how anyone was born.

I believe some people are born attracted to the same sex or become that way early on. We can often tell if someone is gay without having witnessed them doing or saying anything. The existence of "GAYDAR" and its high level of accuracy mean that gay people don't just behave differently, they are different.

Now the kicker. There have been studies done on sets of identical twins and there are many cases where one twin is gay and the other isn't. They have the exact same genetic makeup so it's not a "gay gene". That leaves something happening in the birth process or early life as a real possibility.
