I'm just wondering, many men turning into gay, why is that? We already made a question here in the Philippines "The population of gay are becoming more, but they don't give birth at all?", now here my question, why do they turn into gay, could it be because of their environment or maybe genes or any other factor. What do you think?

I have a theory that I have not seen tested scientifically yet (some theories have been tested by scientists.)
When a species of animal becomes overpopulated, Nature tends to correct the balance. Either, their predators become more powerful and eat more of them, lowering the population, or too many animals in a small space makes disease spread faster and more die from disease.
Humans have very much overpopulated this planet, but we have protected ourselves almost completely from predators, and even though new diseases are thrown at us all the time, we manage to minimize the damage.
So, maybe more and more people are becoming gay because there will be less children produced that way. Maybe that is how Nature is "fighting back" against us and our overpopulation.

But 'nature' is a series of independent processes acting upon individual beings. Yes, this can lead to huge changes across populations over time (see evolution). But the kind of thing you are suggesting would require some kind of central planning, as though nature had a mind, which it doesn't (because nature isn't a thing but just a name we give to a collection of things.

Well, my comment is a shortcut. The process could be something like, for example, so many human beings in close quarters is "sensed" by the human body. Hormones are sensed unconsciously by all of us, although we don't know it, so perhaps we are each being overwhelmed by all the hormones of the people all around, or the stress of so many people, and the reaction is to be gay, which reduces reproduction and would lower the future population. Obviously there would be a mechanism acting at a micro level; I didn't mean to insinuate a central mind or director. As you mentioned, "Nature" is a metaphor.

Some men go to prison and end up getting "turned out".
Some men grow frustrated with trying to attract women so they turn to men.

nice one.,..
well there's probably something wrong with their genes...i mean emotionally and intellectually, they're more of a female than a male.... but they happen to be trapped inside a male's body..... but that's just my theory, i don't have any basis for this....
