As of 2014, the latest theories suggest it is a combination of gene sequences and prenatal hormones. The latest findings are showing it's more genetic than we previously thought.
A number of reasons and scientific evidence suggest that homosexuality is based significantly on genetic factors (as well as prenatal ones):
- Family studies have found that homosexuality runs in the family. Generally, homosexual individuals have relatives who also display homosexuality.
- Twin studies have shown that homosexuality is more common (the correlation is stronger) among identical twins than in fraternal twins (proof of a genetic component).
- Genetic engineers have manipulated fruit flies in such a way that males perform courtship practices on other males, and females to females.
- As for the prenatal component, studies have shown that women who were pregnant in bomb-struck or stress-prevalent environments, tended to have a higher percentage of homosexual offspring (40%).

Can stem cells treat homosexuality?
Even if homosexuality were to be due to genetic cause it would probably not be amenable to treatment by stem cells. The brain is not so easily reset if experience with the use of stem cells with Parkinson's disease.
Are these cells genetically different or genetically the same?
To determine if the cells are genetically different or the same, one must consider their origin and the process by which they were formed. Cells that arise from the same zygote, such as somatic cells in a multicellular organism, are typically genetically identical. However, cells derived from different zygotes or through processes like meiosis or mutation will be genetically distinct. Therefore, the answer depends on the context and the source of the cells in question.
How do chromosomes affects homosexuality?
Current research suggests that sexual orientation is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. While specific chromosomes or genetic markers have been linked to sexual orientation, there is no single "gay gene" that determines homosexuality. The genetic basis of sexual orientation is still not fully understood.

Is homosexuality a chemical imbalance?
The source or reason for homosexuality has yet to be definitively identified. While there are those that speculate that it may be genetically or environmentally manifested, there is no proof to this; it is largely extrapolation of data that may or may not relate to human development or biology at all. As far as homosexuality being the result of a chemical imbalance, this can be perceived as somewhat insulting. It implies that it results from mental illness. Like all other behaviors of humans, regardless of any predisposition, acts are the result of choices and this is the only answer that can be irrefutably supported.
