Many times people turn out gay when their background etc. means that most people that they know would be against it, and that it would cause problems. The only conclusion to draw from this is that for many, if not all homosexual individuals there is little or no conscious decision making involved. Also, I'm pretty sure that peer pressure doesn't work that way around in most places today, if you think about it 'gay' is synonymous with 'lame' and 'fag' is the internet insult de jour.

:Though to be honest I did just find this article [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/02/gay-marry-man] where a guy was bisexual or something, but then decided to be Gay (with a capital apparently) so some form of choice does occur sometimes.

:: I know a female friend of a friend of mine (who volunteers at a shelter which is how the met) in now a lesbian because she was severely and repeatedly sexually assaulted and abused by a former partner and his mates. Given what they did to her I don't really blame her not wanting another man [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 07:59, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
