Nature vs. Nurture Kfromm
Nature vs Nurture is the big debate when it comes to sexuality. I believe that there is no black and white answer. It is not Nature and it is not nurture, it is a combination of both. I know one person who was born into a normal family, had a normal upbringing, had 3 normal straight brothers and is gay. In cases like this, it would be assumed that nature had a lot to do with it. He was born that way. On the other hand, a close family friend adopted a young son from Honduras, as a child he was very normal, he was just like all of the other little boys. While growing up, his mother would only buy him barbie dolls, my little pet shop and fingernail polish. Toy guns were too violent. She treated him like he was her daughter and not her son. Now, he has changed his name. He is now named Victoria and is waiting to become a girl. This I believe is a huge case of nurture. His mother molded him into what he is today. Yes, maybe there was some genetic predisposition for the change, but it is mostly a case of nurture. The big question is nature or nurture, and I believe that the answer is both.

It has been proven that sexual orientation is predetermined before birth. I think the situation with Victoria may have been rare in that she was born differently than a heterosexual male. However, once a young child is taught right from wrong, they stick with that for a long time. If she was raised as a girl, then she learned how to be a girl and that’s what she knows. However, one can try as hard as he or she wants, it’s impossible to, “Pray away the gay,” or convert sexual orientation in any way.

I also think that when people are born bisexual, meaning that they are attracted to both sexes, their sexual orientation can be easily determined by their parents. If the bisexual child is born into a strict catholic family, and grows up to be a catholic, the chances of him or her becoming openly bisexual are very low. While if a bisexual child is born into a liberal family, they might even be encouraged to express their sexuality any way they like.

What the heck? What is wrong with the parent? There are a lot of boy toys that could of been given to that child when growing up other then toy guns. If Victor would of been left alone as a child, he probably wouldn’t be gay. Why didn’t that mom adopt a girl. If the parents friend’s would of stepped up to the plate and voiced their opinions about Victor, he’d probably have a better chance in life as a man.
