Is homosexuality a choice or genetics?

From what I know, scientists seem to be leaning more toward it being caused by testosterone/estrogen, which is determined in the womb. My parents are both extremely stereotypical of their respective genders, yet they ended up with two LGBT kids.
That plays in to a lot of conspiracy theories.

Some say the powers that be are exposing us BPA which changes testosterone/estrogen and womb stuff which causes all kinds of stuffs.

Which is complete crap. Any system like that woukd create far more homosexuals than intended. Not to mention bouts of infertility to those whose bodies are more or less susceptile to the drugs

No, I don't think it's a choice. Most likely either genetic or social. I don't see how you can think it is a choice. Like Lazuli said, when does anyone ever 'choose' to like something? It's not a choice, it just happens. Plus, with all the hate and abuse that homosexual people get, if they could 'choose' to be straight, why wouldn't they?

Part- Part. Some are just "born" that way. Some become gay because of their the social circles. But it's also a choice to allow it to "happen."

I don't think that it is just a funny coincidence that so many criminals in prison "become" gay.

Being involved in sodomy not the same as being gay. Homosexuality is based on emotions, not sex.

I would say that's only half right.

Human sexuality is incredibly complex, and often can't be reduced to only three categories.
There's plenty of people out there who romantically prefer the same sex, but sexually prefer the opposite. These people are often categorized as "bi-sexual", but that wouldn't really be accurate either.
Some people are only attracted to someone if they share a romantic connection, but the gender part is completely irrelevant to their attraction.

Some people have no interest either romantically or sexually in anyone at all.
The list goes on.

Please don't spam in Deep Discussion, keep these posts more civil Jar Jar. ;) My only verbal warning when it comes to a sensitive topic like this one.

Also, "kaffir" is a very offensive term to black Africans, used as an ethnic slur in parts of Africa, especially South Africa. I'm going to leave it up as a warning not to use words that have multiple definitions, especially since it was reported specifically for hate speech. I won't warn you for it either, but, I had no idea what the word meant so, I don't see warning you as fair. So this is a rare exception. I know you probably meant it as "non-believer". Just keep this in mind.

Apart from non-believer I had no idea it meant anything else either. After googling I see the non-believer term is kafir, and the racial slur is kaffir. Both terms were invented by Muslims too. Wonder why they made them so similar?

Criminals in prison don't "become" gay. You can't just "become" gay. They were either gay, bisexual, or sexually fluid to begin with, or they're just engaging in homosexual sex. You can have sex with someone of the same sex without being gay or even bisexual. That happens a lot in prisons because prisoners go for years without any sexual contact, which can be emotionally and physically devastating to a lot of people. Also, gay acts in prison are blown way out of proportion. I'm willing to bet that it doesn't happen nearly as often as jokes lead us to believe, and if it does happen, it's probably just a handie or a blowie every now and then when a prisoner can't handle celibacy any longer.

Rape occurs in prisons not because those prisoners are necessarily gay, but because rape is an act of power and authority. Gang rapes and guy on guy rapes have been happening since the beginning of time as an assertion of dominance, not because the aggressor is a homosexual.

I'd say it's more likely genetics + environment/upbringing. I don't see why anyone would choose to be gay.

We can only guess since I think it's impossible to pin point the exact moment a fetus' sexual preference is decided. And yes I think it happens that early. Perhaps a person can be raised in such a way that homosexual thoughts and feelings are repressed but that wouldn't change what's at the core. I've known too many people who fit the gay stereotype when they were young children and later realised themselves what they preferred sexually to think that it is anything other than nature rather than nurture. Although I also accept upbringing and environment can shape exactly how flamboyant or sexually driven a person is.

You're either shaped that way in very early childhood or you are born gay (more likely). You don't just randomly become gay in adulthood after you were already straight. It's pretty self-explanatory.
