What
"Causes" Homosexuality? |
That is one of the most common
questions asked by parents and family members, and often, by
gay and lesbian individuals at some point during their
personal struggle and eventual acceptance of their
homosexuality. There have been many studies and much
debate on this topic. We do not claim to know
"the" definitive answer. In fact, for many of
us, this question is no longer important as we have simply
accepted the notion that it simply just is . . . as many other
things are in this complex world. However, we do
recognize that many people still have a yearning to fully
understand the origins of homosexuality. Therefore, we
will use this space to provide links to articles that attempt to shed
light on this topic. Take from them what you will, and
recognize that no one person has the definitive answer . . .
yet. Presented in descending order

straight and the other gay? CBS
reporter Lesley Stahl reports on
this "60 Minutes" segment which
originally aired on March 12, 2006.
