The idea that you can’t be born gay is rooted in Bi-curiosity

Are you saying Theres a straight gene ?

No, there is no gene for sexual preference....since it's not defined at birth

There are no genetic markers that identify someone as gay
The same people who argue that you're born gay argue that sexuality is fluid
I don't think people are born gay anymore than I think some men are born attracted to fat women. It's probably a combination of environmental factors and developed preferences

It's not genes so much as the hormonal environment in the womb, which is influenced by but far from strictly determined by genes.

Hormones in womb out of wack = elevated likelihood of gay or trans child.

Plastic pollution (much of which mimics estrogen) becoming more and more common in our bodies is a huge reason this sort of thing is getting more prominent, but that's another can of worms...

Prenatal hormones play a major role in sexual orientation development, according to new research

New research in Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology reveals that hormones during early development, particularly prenatal and early postnatal periods, significantly influence sexual orientation by affecting gene expression in the brain. This challenges the notion that socialization is the...

I can see this but at the same time it wouldn’t explain why other ppl get molested and don’t turn gay.

Most people molested end up on some weirld shyt tho: rape, abuse, pedo, crazy fetish, etc.

Was reading a thread where teachers were talking about how middle school kids were calling themselves LGBT buzzwords like gender fluid when none of them really had a clue what that meant. It’s just in vogue now to default associate with LGBT And use the code language. Some people might even try it for whatever reason. More women are willing to experiment than men, there’s the prison gay thing too, but I don't think there’s a lot of truly bisexual people.

Numbers are consistently 3-6% LGBT

Alot of people are born gay but sexuality can also shift over time depending on your environment. For example someone on the hard straight side of the spectrum will never be attracted to the same sex regardless of circumstance, but there are people closer to bisexuality despite coming off as straight and believing it themselves.

There’s evidence homosexuality is epigenetic meaning that your environment and behavior can affect how your genes are expressed. What your prenatal period was like (time in the womb), early childhood experiences, social environment and even the food you eat probably play a role somehow.
