Greg, I don't believe anybody knows any one reason why some prefer or are attracted to the same sex. I do believe that some men tend to be more feminine than others and some women tend to have masculine traits. I was raised around five female relatives and with only my grandfather as a male to bond with from a very young age until I got out on my own. I seem to always feel more comfortable in the presence of women rather than men so I know that socially, we do develop learned responses to others. Psycologists know that children that are abused before two or three years old tend to have deep seated character defects and children exposed to abuse later in life have more of a chance to overcome personality defects than those abused earlier in life. Anti-social behavior is exhibited by the younger ones in rapes, murders, ect. Look at the older child in Jonesboro, Ark. that murdered 4 or 5 children and one adult. I read that both his father and step father abused him quite badly. These children grow up with low self worth and anger towards disipline or authority. Yes, I do believe that a homosexual has a very low esteem and is looking for love because he or she did not have proper upbringing or a decent male or female to bond with early in life. This has caused his/her attraction for members of the same sex. Having someone teach and establish a good moral sense of right and wrong is the key. Once we become adults, if we ever do(grin), we become responsible for our own actions. Obsessive behavior, or to call it by it's proper name,an ADDICTION to any thing or person is extremely difficult to change. At the point of deep despair and pain caused by the addiction we have to make a heartfelt decision that of our self, we can not overcome it. We make a decision to till the earth, plant the seed, and water it daily and let God bring the work of our hands to fruition. We must put our dilemma in God's hands completely, realizing that we do the things that God expects us to do and He will give us the strength and direction for a new life. It will work for any addiction or obsession, provided we believe in and trust the only one who can break the fatality of our course and consciously let Him have our life. Speaking from experience of chronic alcoholism I was told by doctors that I was born one and all I was looking for was the first drink of booze to set things in motion. That may be true, but it does not make me a victim today because we have a God of miracles. I lived it, fought it and then overcame it through God's blessed Grace.
