I'd also like to mention this, which may cast doubt on the "gay people are born gay" idea:
Children who experience parental divorce are less likely to marry heterosexually than those growing up in intact families; however, little is known about other childhood factors affecting marital choices. We studied childhood correlates of first marriages (heterosexual since 1970, homosexual since 1989) in a national cohort of 2 million 18-49 year-old Danes.

- smt88 9y agoI don't get how your quote (or studies of marriage in general) have anything to do with whether people are born gay.
- ue_ 9y ago>Children who experience parental divorce are less likely to marry heterosexually than those growing up in intact families This would suggest, save for "correlation does not equal causation", that parental divorce has some effect on one's sexuality, or less likely in my opinion, that those who experience parental divorce are more likely to marry homosexually (not because they're gay), though I'm sure we'd both agree that's more far fetched.
