I think some people are misunderstanding what the OP means. They are not suggesting that you 'choose' it. They are saying that your psychology can change as you develop.

It's an interesting debate, and no one really can say for definite why and how some people are gay.

Personally, I believe being gay can develop as you grow due to external circumstances. I think having the lack of a father figure can lead to homosexuality, as controversial an opinion that may be.

I am quite inclined to think that no one is born straight or gay, and it develops in your childhood as your hormones and sex organs start to develop etc. In fact it just occurred to me, you don't really feel attraction to people properly until early puberty, so how can someone be born with a sexuality?

I just don't know.
