What is the origin of same gender attraction?

Once there were some male/female couples and they saw a male/male couple and a female/female couple.
Since they almost only ever saw male/female couples around them, they thought that that was the norm, the normal.
So they decided to call the male/male- and female/female couples, not the norm, not normal, abnormal.
I guess it must have been something like that.
It is a statistic thing, i would think, those terms normality and abnormality.

Homosexuality can be traced back thousands of years before the birth of christ, so if you’re looking for an “origin” you’d have to look there.

(or it could just happen naturally)

I hate to say it, but no one knows. The issue is: are we all “born straight” and then we become gay? Are we born neutral and then develop our sexual orientation? Or are some of us “born gay”? No one seems to know.

I don’t know what caused my homosexuality. People will put forth the same old cliches: Domineering mother, absent father, bad experience with women, molested as a child, etc. None of that applies to me. I know for a fact that I didn’t choose it, however. This will be the 1765th time I’ve said this, but if someone can explain to me how a person can will themselves to be attracted to something they weren’t originally attracted to at as young of an age as 11, by all means, go ahead. Otherwise, there is no legitimacy to the claim that it’s a “choice”.

Homosexuality is abnormal in a technical sense. All “abnormal” means is “not typical”. It says nothing about “bad”. That’s just a product of people’s associations and connotations which are not present in the actual definition of the word.

If i knew how to arrange words the way that you know how to, i would have said it exactly the same.

Necessity?

Which came first, the Bonobo or homosexual behavior?

over-emphasis on one’s love life by one’s peers and the media? Could have to do with its recent growth, especially when you throw in the “don’t deny your base desires because that’s denying yourself” garbage (no offense, but honestly show some civilization and listen to your superego, not just your id). A guy/girl doesn’t find themselves as attracted to the opposite sex as they feel they possibly should be, and then suddenly the thought occurs to them that they might be homosexual, and that they’d be denying who they were if they went against that. Same goes for people attracted to both sexes but remotely attracted to the same sex.

This is 100% theory but I don’t know, it kinda made some sense in my head.

p.s. oh and more likely it also probably has a lot to do with the view of sex as either solely for pleasure or also as a means to reproduce and how that view has changed over the years.

@Hobosnake

Or they feel no attraction to the opposite sex at all, as in my case, and ever since they felt

sexual attraction, they felt
attracted to the same sex; they tried to feel attraction the opposite sex (I know I did, I did everything to convict myself I was straight, but it didn’t work). I know many homosexuals who have gone through similar things.

Also, who says it’s rising? Maybe people are just more open about being homosexual now.
