The controversy surrounding this issue, clear the huge in our culture. Although pro-gay activists and their allies want us to believe people "born gay" and that sexual orientation is unchangeable characteristics as race or eye color, more thorough analysis of the scientific evidence shows that "nature vs. nurture" debate over homosexuality is far from settled.

At best, the evidence on the basis of genetic or biological homosexual orientation, to no avail. In fact, in the early 1990s, numerous studies, homosexuality is genetic attempts have not proven to be valid or repetitive - two important requirements study results found as a fact, in the scientific community. In this context, the current thinking in the scientific community that homosexuality is likely caused by a complex interplay of psycho-social, environmental and biological factors.
