Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself
RE: Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself
It's actually a rare occurence when a trait is determined by only one gene. Given that sexuality is highly complex, it seems very unlikely that there is a gay gene. I haven't really looked into the science, though.

The most likely scenario, I think, is that sexuality is like most of our neurological traits and is affected by both genetics and environment.

RE: Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself
I think it depends on the person. It can be either genetic, environmental, or the combination of both.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

As far as sexuality is concerned, I think there will always be a genetic component. How much of a role the environment plays and how strong the genetic predispositions are will vary by person, however.
