Now, please don't shoot me down. I am sincerely not trying to put anyone down, so I apologise in advance if my words will offend. It's not the intention.
Now, while revising (or rather learning for the first time) for the oh so exciting subject of geography my mind started wandering and I thought about why gays are gays?
I have been of the belief that there must be some sort of trauma or the like to expose it. Others say that it's just as random as what color hair you get born with. And hell, the Greek philosophers saw it as the most noble way of living (only men though).
Now, I got thinking, what does modern psychology tie it down to, today? Freud would probably say something along the lines of a childhood neurosis, which in some ways would probably match along great with my own theory. Just that he declares almost everything to be a result of a neurosis.
Any takes on this?

can you prove it's psychological though? maybe some people are just born gay, simple as...
how come most gays have straight siblings then?
No, but then I didnt make that claim.
I have seen many posters on these boards making the claim that being gay isnt a choice, but theyve never come up with evidence to back up their claims.
no, 1 brother, 1 sister and a half brother, why do you ask?
but it doesn't support the theory that being gay has something to do with "nature and nurture"
Please don't take this the wrong way, but heterosexuality can pretty much be explained with the need to re-create.
No one says it matters. At the end we're all people.
It's just that it's more interesting than the learning of calcium and chalk from the underground.
But not everyone wants to procreate, surely if it were so natural everyone would be straight and want babies?
Well that's the thing, why don't they?
And yes, I know I appear to be extremely etnocentric. I am just trying to raise some questions in order to get some answers.
Tell that to trhe people who don't want kids.
Nah, homosexuality serves no evolutionary or biological purpose. The default sexuality is heterosexuality.
I'd say homosexuality is obviously pyschological, not some biological inheritance...people's sexuality is largely a reflection of their personality on a different level.
doesn't mean anything tbh
theres no such a thing as pai nor pelasure, only different ways of interpreting sensitivity
