This is not Gay thread but quite interesting Are people born gay or they turn Gay? Have you heard of term nature and nurture. Though some argue that nurture - how you raise a child the tendency to be attracted to same sex would be the reason to turn gay.I do not agree. lets say , You raise a kid (boy) in group of woman ..so what do you think ? this kid will become - attracted to woman or man??Though some external characteristics are driven by the atmosphere around .The sexual desire is a internal attribute.Some High class (celebrities) and low class(prostitution ) are influenced by external attributes but they may not be actually internally "Gay". It is nature , All human beings have both male and female attributes.You know it but as we are living in society- with norms and rules .We tend to suppress these Womanly characters in Man and manly characteristics in woman.Some come up and there you say what a "tomboy" or what a "girlyman" .Having some opposite sex attributes is not sufficient enough to label people gay. When it comes to sex - what is the preference of the individual?That is what matters.Some may realize later stage of life that they are actually attracted with same sex than opposite .Those kind of later realization come after the persons overcome the societies pressure. likewise raise a gay kid(boy) in midst of boys - send the Kid to martial arts all boys activities , send them to all boys school St.xavier's hehehe. That kid will still be gay.So nurture really didn't affect the boy's internal characteristic. But a Straight can never turn gay - if he is not internally never a gay.
