People’s sexual orientation is determined at birth. Although it may seem sexual orientation is influenced by a person’s social manner, it is actually influenced by a person’s biological factors, including genetic or hormonal factors.

"During the past thirty years, a strong body of evidence has emerged to suggest that sexual orientation is biological. During this same time period, not a single bit of scientific evidence suggests that sexual orientation is learned has appeared,"( Frederick L. Whitam, PhD).

Much scientific evidence states that preference for male or female partners are related to hormonal balances, and the person’s genes. This starts the day a person is born. Before birth in embryonic state, people are bisexual, but in the coarse of their natural desire, most loose their desire for members of the same sex, (Magnus Hirschfeld, MD). Kenneth Cohen, PhD, lecturer in human development at Cornell University, states that recent scans of the human genome reveal that some gay males share a genetic marker for homosexuality on the X chromosome. The twin study, having been in the interest of scholars, such as the early physician Hippocrates, supports this case. The study shows that twins frequently share the same homosexual traits.

With the information described above, we have proof that human sexuality is developed at birth by their biological factors. They are born knowing that they are homosexual because they are attracted to the opposite sex or they fell different from others in their views of their sexual orientation. They are unable to control or chose who they want to be with; it is simply what they feel inside. Can people chose who they like because they are influenced by peers? Can the feelings they feel for others change? No, because it is part of who they are biologically; they were born homosexual.

We do not support most of what scientists say, but the evidence shown proves that your sexual orientation is determined at birth. Their sexuality is determined by genetics and so, they are born being homosexual. As we stated before, people cannot choose their sexuality. Homosexuals are born homosexual. It is not their choice. In conclusion, we believe that people are born without the choice of choosing their sexuality.
