Which of these theories do you think is the cause of homosexuality?

[Ruggery]

Which of these theories would you trust the most?

Aggregate poll.

Bc astrology obviously!

I.e. if you have piscis in your sun or in your ascendant and the rest of the astral theme is more femenine polarity you ve more chances of being LGBTQ...

I am surprised you didn't mention it in the poll.

Hell, I hadn't thought of that, that's why I placed the option of another reason in case someone wanted another theory

Trauma and to an extent social indoctrination. The idea of genetic homosexuality can be ruled out for several reasons including the obvious fact that genuine homosexuals won't reproduce and pass it down

I'll only speak in terms of male homosexuals because I sincerely believe that the average 'lesbian' is a bored young woman roleplaying for attention, who's never even been with another woman. Men tend to be more sincere about their orientation

With that said, the rate of childhood abuse is significantly higher in gay men than in heterosexual men, so definitely a correlation there. The social indoctrination part is far more anecdotal, a vulnerable younger person being bombarded left and right with propaganda on social media, in the classroom, on TV shows etc will be much more susceptible to an ideology they didn't even need to know existed

So you think a child can become gay by indoctrination?

That phenomenon (homosexuality) is not exclusive to humans only, this is due to the bisexual nature of humans as a species of hominidae from the primate family. So no reasons at all, it's just part of human nature.

Yes, especially if it's been from a very young age. Sometimes the parents are in on it, encouraging their sons to dress like girls before they even hit puberty and parading them in the streets for pedophiles. This then becomes their lifestyle and they end up mentally rewired, and usually gay.

I would say mostly gender non-conforming behavior, childhood trauma, and very negative experience with the opposite sex. Porn as well to a lesser degree. There are people that undergo those experiences and don't become gay, but not everyone going through the same experience will end up the same. There could be twins raised under the same circumstances but one becomes a laborer and one becomes a doctor. There isn't a very simple answer.

Here's a good description about the causes from a doctor:

There is no one cause. No single genetic, hormonal, social, or environmental factor is predominant. There are similar themes, e.g. childhood gender non-conformity, difficulties in developing a sense of gender identity (for a range of reasons), sexual abuse, peer and family dynamics, sexual history, but the mix varies with individuals, and individual personal responses to life-events are the single overriding factor. Two children from the same family and social environment can interpret the same incidents very differently. So random reaction, if it structures itself into self-image, can become a significant contributor to homosexuality — as twin studies show. Often, from early on, there is a felt inability to find acceptance in same-sex groups, often a defensive withdrawal from those groups in conflict with a desire to belong that can begin to intensify around some admired same-sex figure. After puberty that intense emotional focus can get confused with sexual feelings and activity, a response that, if the pattern continues for some years, can lead to self-identification as homosexual or lesbian and sometimes intentional adoption of a gay life-style. But each person is a unique combination of contributing factors and has a unique path out of homosexuality.The homosexual orientation can and does change. The scientific literature is full of evidence of fluid sexuality. Where responses are deeply entrenched the process is longer. People who have not taken on the behaviour and lifestyle very deeply change more easily.
Is it all worth it? Those who take the process on will usually say it is, if they have had helpful input and support. In a therapeutic environment the sexual orientation of about two thirds of clients changes anywhere from slightly to profoundly. Others change greatly without any therapeutic input at all. Life itself brings along the ingredients for resolution of underlying issues. Half of all homosexual and bisexual people in the West become exclusively heterosexual over a lifetime. (Read more in Chapter 12 of My Genes Made Me Do It!) It may be heroic to "come out" to friends and family as gay, but it is even more heroic to swim against the tide and find a way back to what is still possible.
DNA is a ladder of nitrogenous bases and sugars that is a recipe for proteins, not sexual preferences. But it is also a ladder of destiny, a Jacob’s ladder, and it is our choice whether angels or demons walk up and down it. We can decide to capitulate to the “genetic argument” or not. Do your genes make you do it? You can choose.

I saw, struggling in a stagnant pool, a bee which had somehow fallen in. It flapped its wings futilely and tried to dog-paddle, but made no progress. It seemed to be drowning. All around the bee were little creatures called water-fleas who hopped round, trouble-free on the surface of the water. They didn’t seem interested in the bee at all. I took the bee out of the pool using a dead leaf from a tree, and set it down nearby on the slate surround. The bee staggered off the leaf, drunkenly wandering in its new freedom, headed straight back to the pool and fell in again. I lifted it out once more, and the bee staggered round rather aimlessly and seemed quite lost. I transferred it further away onto some grass. It tried to use its wings, but it looked to me as though they might be torn, and it might never fly again. It staggered from blade to blade, under some and over some in the three dimensional maze of the herbage. It even hopped from one blade to another, perhaps pathetically imagining it was flying. Then—suddenly—after I had practically given up, it flew! It wove a surprisingly straight course through the airy dimensions and was out of sight in seconds. I never saw it again. This I know: that bee reached heights the water-fleas couldn’t even dream of and so can you.

That phenomenon (homosexuality) is not exclusive to humans only, this is due to the bisexual nature of humans as a species of hominidae from the primate family. So no reasons at all, it's just part of human nature.

Animals in the wild can be "bisexual", but not homosexual. "Homosexuality" in the animal kingdom is just an individualistic act (often to show dominance), not some sort of fixed thing from birth. It is similar to the "homosexuality" among humans in prisons.
