I don't buy the theory that *all* homosexuals were predetermined and they had no choice.
Yes - you often see homosexual relationships cropping up in situations where there are no women or where the women are not available or even not visible. I posted one like that about homosexuality in Afghanistan under the Taliban. Put on those burqas ladies...

And this is why I personally feel that growing up with a mother and not a father, promoted my heterosexual instincts if anything, because there was a female figure present. It's not an oedipus thing, it's just going with what you know.

On the other hand, every single gay person I have known - and I have known a TON of 'em - has said that they recognized instincts in themselves as early as the age of five. And I personally feel so hetero that I doubt I would turn to gayness in a population of just men. It's just the instinct...
