A member asked:
Did my environment cause me to be gay? was it in my mothers womb? genetics? how do i tell homophobic family? (i'm 19 in a tight-nit community)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always tough: There is no specific cause for homosexuality although genetics might play a role. It is not caused by parental misdirection nor any known ordinary influence of the environment in which you were raised. This trait is strong and not diminished by any known drug , psycho or physical treatment. The public feeling about homosexuality is becoming more tolerant - hopefullly your family can join .
