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.

Is being gay a chemical imbalance in the brain?

First of all, "imbalance" is the wrong word, since being gay is not an illness or disorder. Second, this theory has been proposed many times before. It is not in imbalance, but there is some evidence to suggest that it is a possibility that gestational hormones, combined with certain gene sequences affect sexual orientation. More research is needed, however, to understand why and how it occurs, and also how it results in the manifestation of homosexuality in the person itself. The chemical combination is caused by the balance of intrauterine hormones in the womb during pregnancy.
