Find me a homoesexual who says they werent abused mentally or physically, or raised without a male influence, and still are gay, and i'll show you someone who's lying.

My uncle. And I don't think he's lying, considering both my aunt and my father turned out fine with the same parents. My grandparents weren't abusive, in fact they were a typical family really.

John, in all reality I don't know those people but something happened to him, perhaps his parents werent responsible but perhaps they had no idea what happened

Or, perhaps you are hanging onto a notion that has no scientific backing or reasonable evidence supporting it. If you have credible evidence, it should be linked. Just because you think it is true does not necessarily make it so.

I won't deny that some homosexuals are probably that way because of environment, but many are that way due to biological factors beyond their control. I've said before it's likely a combination, varying in balance, some might be entirely biological, others purely environmental. The cause is not the same in different people.

just like you said, just because you thnik it doesnt make it true either

You might want to readthis. Of course, some other studies suggest environmental influences, and they are scientifically valid. This is why I find it to likely be a combination in most cases, with some pure causes on both ends.
