      I’m not sure i can answer this question. People do what they want and what makes them happy and thats how it should be!!

      Personally I don’t think there is really an answer to this question. Why someone is or is not a homosexual does not really matter as long as they are happy and doing what they want!

      From a scientific stand point..there are many theories to why some people may or may not be homosexual. Some people believe it is genetic and some people believe it is because of our environments and experiences. There is alot of research which is being carried out into this…and a very widely thought of opinion is that some people are born with a gene which could make them homosexual…but that gene is “activated” by something within a persons environment or an experience they have.

      There are lots of theories on this. The most likely is environmental as in how and where you grow up. Some believe events during pregnancy can play apart. A study showed that a large number of children born during the second world war grew up to be homosexual and this was attributed to the stress the mother experienced during a war-time pregnancy.
