Coming from a heterosexual: this thread is ridiculous, homosexuality and bisexuality are naturally occurring in the same way heterosexuality is, just in much much smaller numbers obviously. It's just the way you are born, unlike the modern socially-contagion driven trans craze.

I know homosexuality is natural and it is certainly not a choice. But I don't know what causes it. I don't know if it's genetic or if it's caused by environmental factors. And by environmental factors, I mean having lots of older siblings or older cousins.

Iirc it's a mix of nature and nurture. Certain genetic factors make it more likely that the individual will be gay if the circumstances are this way or that. The older brother effect is definitely a thing, with the likelyhood a younger brother will be gay growing with the amount of older brothers in a family.

It's certainly not clear as day, but there's pointers to some genetic and circumstantial factors. I've not really taken a dive into history but it seems like homosexuality and transvestitism have been pretty universal occurrences(no relation implied of course) with all this new stuff being obfuscating footnotes.

I agree that those 3 are the only sexualities that make sense and are real.My point is with the new sexualities that the LGBT community is coming up with,from an evolutionary point, pansexuality and polysexuality makes 0 sense cause how would an organism evolve in such a way to be attracted to something that in itself is a social construct?

I agree with you, I am referring to the people in this thread that claim that homosexuality is related to not having a father in the home, which is just blatantly untrue.

But yes, pansexuality and polysexuality are meaningless terms invented by the same kind of blue-haired mentally stunted fools you see on Tumblr. It's no longer cool to be spicy straight, now you gonna be spicy bi.
