Is being gay genetic?
There is evidence on both sides. It depends. There is no universally accepted answer to this question.Answer 1:Although it is mostly due to prenatal hormones (especially estrogen and testosterone). For example, a sperm and egg that have extra estrogen may unite during intercourse and make a baby male (gay). Similarly, an egg and sperm that have extra testosterone may unite during intercourse and make a baby female (lesbian). However, homosexuality is also genetic to an extent. keep in mind that science is always being updated and that scientists may come up with a new explanation in the future. Answer 2:Cases of Yes: 1. Some babies with XX chromosomes but a specific genetic matching on one pair of the chromosomes grow up to be males instead of female. Similarly, some babies with XY chromosomes grow up to be females. These people are far more likely to become homosexual than the general population. 2. It is hypothesized that genetics make some people more promiscuous, and thus more likely to become homosexual.Cases of No: 1. When there twins, one male and one female, the extra testosterone may leak from the male to the female, making the female more male in characteristics including, possibly, sexuality. This is not due to genes.2. Some people may be gay due to popularity or peer pressure.
