By birth or by choice?

[Kevin]

I think I'm repeating myself in lots of threads about things like this.

What I've seen here is that most here are choosing a nature vs nurture type approach..

I would venture to say that it is not one or the other.. but both.

Everyone is born with certain genes that will ultimately predispose them to be a certain way.

I'm not convinced and personally don't believe that there is ONE gene that contributes to sexual orientation.

However, I think that there can be inherited traits that lead a person to choose a certain lifestyle -- or be predisposed to it.

At any rate, people have free will and can ultimately choose whichever path they want to.

So my vote goes for not #1 or #2, but both!
