Conclusion

Alan Sanders, director of behavior genetics at Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Research Institute, has suggested that 40% sexuality is determined by genes. Although just a suggestion, this would leave another 60% up for grabs. If assumed that the other 60% is environmental, or at least some of it is environmental, then that would pose the idea that sexuality is not an argument of one or the other, but rather a combination of the two. Both perspectives would be compromised and then forced to accept at least some of the other. I personally accept the idea of a combination when it comes to sexual choice. There are too many variables people encounter to just have one determinant in their preference. Even though this argument has no definitive answer, it is a conversation that has yet to leave the mainstream media. Homosexuality is a well-established co-culture of the United States. They live in society with everyone else, and expect to be treated as such. Whether biology is the main cause or environmental effects reign true, homosexuals would agree that their sexual preference is not a choice, but rather what feels 'correct' in their lifestyle. Sexuality is dynamic. Sexuality is also historic. Based on the person and their background, sexual preference is different for everyone.
