Is homosexuality a choice, something someone is born with, or something someone comes into due to environment?

Like most human behavior, I don't believe any one primary causal factor can be identified, especially when it comes to sexuality. People's actions, inclinations, and tendencies seem to be manifestations of a complex interaction of genetics, experience, and so forth.

That wasn't the question and please don't respond to any more of the questions I post unless you actually have a worthwhile opinion. If you can't be mature about the subject matter, then what are you doing here?

I think it's something people are born with. There's just no evidence showing that different environments cause people to make that choice.

Nature, either enhanced or discouraged by environment, he only choice that's made is whether you lie to yourself or not.

For the most part, I believe that people are born gay. I think there may be some influence early on, but it seems to me that it would be primarily genetic. More nature than nurture, but not just one exclusively.

Or destiny? Nature and nurture? I think it's a little bit of both. I think it also depends on the influences of a person. A person you first met since your consciousness came life, parents in most cases. On the other hand it could also be the reverse, if there is an occurance of an unpleasant events. All in all, I think this is very subjective when trying to assess history of a person, and on what led a person to choose such sexuality. Your gender alone is a bias factor already. What'd'you think? Tell me how you find this. Thanks!
