Over the years, there has been debate about whether homosexuality is due to nature or nurture. In other words, are you born gay or are you becoming gay? Scientists are looking into the antecedents and origins of homosexuality. Some believe it is a developmental disorder or some have even tried to diagnose it as a disorder in origin.

For example, many scientists have done extensive studies on materials for people who believe that your environment and the way you grow up makes you gay or not. Some behaviorists believe that differences in sexual and gender identification result from family roles, friends, and other peers, or from factors such as masculine and feminine stereotypes.
