Sexual orientation, including being gay, is believed to be determined by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. While some research suggests a biological basis for sexual orientation, the exact causes are still not fully understood. Both nature and nurture likely play a role in shaping an individual's sexual orientation.

No, this does not relate at all to being lesbian. This can, however, enable women to "fake" being lesbian more easily (like in pornographic movies to appeal to male audiences) which may lead people to believe that there are more lesbians than there really are in the world. The truth of the matter, is that there are more gay males than lesbian woman.

There are lots of "It gets Better" videos on Youtube about gay people who became stronger through the challenge.
