What I’ve observed personally supports what I’ve read in studies: in sexuality, as in most of human behavior, there are few absolutes. Sexuality starts in genetics and physiology, providing a built-in tendency to be homosexual (as a broad term, gay), heterosexual (straight), or somewhere in between (bisexual). Most people fall in between, and more tend to the straight side of the scale. That sex root drive then gets modified by upbringing and environment, but these can only push the drive towards one direction or the other, or suppress expressing or recognizing part of it, not fundamentally change it. If you’re 100% gay, environment may contribute to your being happy or unhappy in that life, but they won’t make you straight. If you’re 100% straight, parental trauma may your relations with the opposite sex unpleasant, but won’t make you any more able to respond to the same sex. For the many bisexuals, societal pressure, or problems with the same-sex parent, could channel the drive into only opposite-sex expressions, to the point where the person may only recognize straight attractions, emotionally blocking any same-sex attraction and appearing purely straight. Or, a bisexual who’s had problems with the opposite-sex parent could be unwilling to recognize opposite-sex attraction and therefore appear gay. Or a thousand other factors could push someone one way or the other, and everyone is different. But the only two things you can say with any certainty is that there’s a base drive dictacted by biology, throughout the animal kingdom, and then a host human factors to complicate the matter.
