Summary:

The question about whether homosexuality is inherent or the result of environmental influences and choice has been debated since at least the 19th century. To date, scientific research has not explicitly proven which factor takes precedence - inheritance or environment. Some researchers believe that a hard line cannot be drawn between the two theories. Both factors might contribute in some measure to the homosexual orientation. The door, however, has been opened for further research.
