Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Current research suggests that the origins of homosexuality are multifactorial and require a biopsychosocial interactive model. Biological factors such as genetics and hormone levels, psychological factors such as early childhood experiences and family dynamics, and social factors such as cultural norms and societal attitudes all likely contribute to the development of sexual orientation. There is no compelling evidence that suggests homosexuality is caused by early negative heterosexual experiences or by children identifying with the other-gender parent. While being labeled a homosexual may have some impact on an individual's self-concept and behavior, it is unlikely to be the sole cause of one's sexual orientation.
