      This is a great question, moseleal01!

      Are we born gay or do we develop it through our own experiences? This evidence is increasingly showing that sexual orientation is set very early on and is inborn. Perhaps it’s something different in our genes but some people struggle with their own sexuality so it’s obviously something that hasn’t been fully discovered yet. 🙂

      Good question, and no-one really knows yet.

      What a question! The feelings we have are generated by a vast array of different things both in our genes and in our upbringing and social conditioning. These different inputs produce different responses from different people. So we are all different and react differently to different people even of the same gender (not everyone fancies the same person!), let alone different genders.
