There is a lot of evidence that things that you are sexually exposed to as a child/adolescent tend to hardwire attractions in adulthood.
It's one of the reasons that the popularity of heterosexual anal sex has exploded with the widespread availability of that type of porn. Some of that stuff gets hardwired into the highest arousals because kids are exposed to it at younger and younger ages now.
So yes, there is an element of environment that goes into sexuality. But it's not the only factor---by a long shot. A lot of boys experiment with other boys as preteen/adolescents. And yet the percentage of the population that identifies as gay still hovers around 10%.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
