    I suppose it depends who you ask. I try and think logically about it without getting emotive, and I have come to the conclusion it is probably nature. A great many gay people have come from homes where being gay was either not discussed at all or was seen to be ‘deviant.’ Therefore, they weren’t conditioned into being gay, they just were. Gays, in my experience, when asked the old chestnut, ‘When did you realize you were gay?’ say, ‘I didn’t realize, I just was.’ It’s like asking a straight person, ‘When did you realize you were straight?’ It may have been some time before they learned the word ‘straight’ in terms of sexuality, but they have always ‘known.’
