Do you think scientists will ever pinpoint the exact cause of sexual orientation?

I very much doubt it. For the rare few of us it can be a spiritual matter.

 

I'm not too sure, I think we at least won't know any time soon, because I personally think that the "mutation" (for lack of a better word) takes place in the brain. The brain is so complex and we basically know nothing about it right now. Several studies have actually shown that brain activity and brain shape can physically change throughout a person's lifetime. So to me, that tells me that the environment a person is raised in/the experiences they have could influence sexual orientation. Again this is just my own theory that has literally zero scientific evidence backing it up. I do believe that for the majority of people, sexual orientation is something a person is born with. But the brain is so flexible, why couldn't sexuality be fluid for some?

 

I how barley don't think there is any cause of Being gay bisexual or transgender I believe that it's just solely feelings Some are gonna feel towards opposite Some are gonna have feelings towards the same way it don't change you at all!

 

Does it really matter who we love though? Humans are the only ones who argue over mundane things it shouldn't matter.

 

I think the most promising case is for males that the more older brothers they have the more likely chance they have of being gay. It only applies to right-handed males. I have 2 older brothers and many gays I know have at least 1 older brother (of course, there are a few without any)

Many studies also link sexual orientation to working in a similar way as left-handedness. MRI scans shows LGBT people use parts of the brains that the opposite sex uses (trans people having a brain that is the most similar to the opposite of the birth-sex), kind of how right/left handed people use the opposite side of the brain. Studies also show that LGBT people are more likely to be left handed, lesbians being x2 more likely to be left handed than straight women.


All and all, it's epigenetics. It's hard to pinpoint an exact cause because I don't think there is an exact cause.

 

You listen to some it's proved to be generic.
But some people say studies prove otherwise.
Nobody knows

 

No, not anymore than scientists will discover why some people like the color green or the number 11.

 

My therapist thinks it's genetic, but I'm the only LGBT person on either side of my family...

 

The word "cause" is probably a poor choice of word.

But yes, if humans can continue the rate of scientific progress we've had for the past few centuries, we will undoubtedly narrow down the key genetic mechanisms involved (eventually, anyway).

Unlike something like interstellar space travel, there is no potential physics problem there.
