There's no such thing as being gay. Homosexuality is a behavior. The desire to engage in this type of behavior is no different than any other desire, say the desire to play basketball. No different than the desire for heterosexual sex. It's influenced by a myriad of genetic, personality, psychological, physiological, environmental, and cultural factors, like all human behavior. There's no logical sense in separating it as if it's different, boiling it down to some base "some people are born gay." It's just not the case. Gay and straight are a false dichotomy put forward by liberals to explain a much larger and dynamic pattern of behavior, and, to perpetuate a false implication that homosexuality is purely genetic.

While environment may play a role in some people, I believe that for the most part, gay people are born with an inherent level of attraction toward the same sex. Far too many gay people say they had attraction toward the same sex from an extremely young age, around puberty when hormones start to kick in.

So why does homosexuality occur across species in the wild?
