Homosexuality: Nature vs. Nurture

Whether homosexuality depends on nature or nurture is one of the most controversial topics in the world. The people who take the nature side believe that a person who is homosexual is born this way that they are genetically homosexual. People who take the nurture side believe that a person becomes attracted to the opposite sex depending on the environment that they grow in. In reality people have not discovered any scientific reason for why a person becomes gay or lesbian; it all depends on a person's opinion.

There are many factors that support both nature and nurture. A theory that supports nature is that when a woman is pregnant with a boy the body sees the boy as an invader and creates antibodies against the excess testosterone levels. After having more than one boy, the antibodies get stronger and more effective. The less testosterone a boy has the less manly they are, this can cause someone to become gay. A theory that supports nurture is that maybe a person can be abused of by the person of the opposite sex when young and therefore is scared for life, becoming scared of having a close relationship with a person of the opposite sex causing him or her to be homosexual. There are many theories that support both nature and nurture, but there is no way to know for sure what the actual reason for homosexuality is.
