IS there a GAY gene? Is homosexuality genetic or a choice?

Here apologist Greg Koukle explores the sensitive topic of our genetics and and sexuality. Is it chosen for us? Or do we have a choice? Of course, now we are in a world where many would insist the "non-binary" or heterosexual world is an illusion - or, at least, STILL a CHOICE! Many would now also say our sexual orientation if flexible and not static. What does the evidence, science and logic tell us?

I think no one is born gay but it is due to external influences during our life process.

Hello, Ramiro, and welcome to God and Science!

I think you're right - environmental influences are immense. Dysfunctional relationships with a parent is definitely one. And sexual abuse.
