I think it's more that sperm decays so you get more mutations.

Old fathers have kids with more genetic mutations and old mothers have kids with more chromosomal issues.

Because the two types of gametes decay in different ways you can't cancel out the problems by having one old and one young parent.

The cause of homosexuality is still quite elusive, but I'm getting more confident it has little to do with genetics. Evidence supports that molestation during adolescence causes homosexual preferences. Being born into a wealthier family also has higher instances of homosexuality.

That evidence was falsified in order to cover up the widespread abuse of girls by men and boys by women. Not all molestation victims turn out gay. Quite the opposite, in fact. Some grow up to be very homophobic. Gay abuse victims were gay before the abuse, and no, a child being gay is not an invitation for adults to help themselves.

I doubt the idea that people are straight or gay. They have straight sex and gay sex, but sexuality is not an immutable characteristic. There has never been any evidence found in the human genome that codes for sexuality. But molestation victims are 7x as likely to consider themselves gay than the unmolested. If that's not true, I'd like to read more about that being made up. At best, I don't think anyone knows why people develop sexual preference.

That's tr-ns propaganda and you know it. A is A and gay is gay. I was never molested. The only abuse I got was physical and emotional.

You're gay because you didn't have a social aversion to the idea, opportunity presented itself at the right time, and it felt good. So now you associate that feeling with that act. Had it been the opposite sex, you'd likely consider yourself straight right now, instead.

I'm gay because the Jewish God Adonai of The One True Faith made me this way. We should all be so lucky.

Hang on.

Are you saying you yourself would be gay if you didn't have a social aversion or opportunity?

Hate to break it to you but that means you yourself are gay, or at least bi.

I'm thinking you're missing what I'm saying. We need to challenge the idea that people fit into these neat little sexual orientation boxes. There aren't straights, gays, and bis. There are just people who commit a specific sexual act and who they're having sex with really comes down to who they associate good sex with. I associate good sex with women. I postulate objectively that I could have made that connection with men instead had circumstances been different, especially during adolescence. I think that goes for everyone. And it's why boys who are molested during asolescense, end up associating that feeling with gay sex and end up chasing it for life. They believe they're just gay. But they don't have to be.

Tell me you’re bisexual without telling me you’re bisexual.

The latest strategy to silence opposition is to accuse anyone who speaks out against homosexuality is homosexual themselves.

The fact of the matter is the claim that someone is born gay is a lie. It's a lie that's wrongly given all sorts of privileges to those who practice it.

I didn't choose to be gay. You chose not to be gay. Stop projecting your perversion onto your Gay superiors, breeder.

likely nature and nurture combined. Mutations like jet says, which also cause other mental problems like autism. It can't help though to have terrible or absent parents.

While I'd say abuse is likely a factor, given how it's overrepresented, there are other biological factors. The more boys a mother has, odds of a boy being homosexual increase the later he is in the order of births. Evidence is also pointing towards being on the autism spectrum as a factor, not a surprise to anybody who ever visited Tumblr or Deviant Art.
