 In a world that is socially crippled, why would anyone choose to be excluded Many people think that sexual orientation is something that is inhibited by the environment we live in, and some will say sexual orientation is determined at birth. Although there is debate between the two, statistics show that sexual orientation is determined at birth rather than persuaded by a person’s environmental interactions. Genes are a part of life, and cannot be chosen for us; they are inherited and passed on from generations. If someone could choose their eye color, wouldn’t they also choose their sexual orientation. Often a misconception is that sexual orientation is nature rather than nurture. While finding out more about themselves, humans discover they are gay. It is as simple as it is complex, for why would one choose to complicate one’s own existence by selecting a lifestyle that isolates them to less than 10% of the world’s population. In a study of examining 41 deceased brains, researchers found out that 3 of 19 homosexuals had a larger group or neurons in the hypothalamus than the average control- group subject. Also they found out that the size of INAH3 in the homosexual brains was similar to that in the heterosexual female brains. The most compelling evidence I can leave you with is the following note sent to me from a dear friend. “When I was 16, I was searching online for a way to cure being gay (I was that confused and desperate), and there was a website which said that they could remove certain parts of the hypothalamus, and thickened nerves around the base of the cerebellum, and reverse the effects of homosexuality.”
