As a gay man I have a very high verbal fluency. I write poems. My friend always tell that I can point out their mistakes in a way that doesn’t hurt their feelings. At the same time my spatial perception is very very good. I mean I am the one always leading the group using maps. If I don’t have maps I use the sun. If you are with me you simply don’t get lost. Am I secretly straight?😂 (Kidding) That’s the problem with people. As Humans we love to classify, name everything so that we can process them in our little brains. But what’s funnier is that generalisation doesn’t work with humans. Life should be easier without categorisation. ❤️

[@JeffRebornNow]

I agree with you, Harvey: 'homosexual' is a verb denoting an activity, it is not a noun denoting identity. There are no 'homosexuals' or 'heterosexuals,' there are just people, some of whom like to have sex with their own sex, some with the opposite sex, and some with both. Why then do we persist in calling ourselves gay or straight? Obviously, it's for political reasons. We don't want to be persecuted or discriminated against just because we like to sleep with members of the same sex. It's a banner under which we organize politically.

I'm an elderly woman and I have those same qualities. I was quite the tomboy when I was a kid. I went through a period where I wished I were male, but when I met my husband to be, I knew I am, and was meant to be, female. Sex and sexuality is a very complicated thing.

[@lynnbaker2336]

You bring up an important point regarding the categorization of people. This is precisely the reason for the term " homosexual lifestyle " it categorizes a group of people in order to make it easier to vilify and demonize them through subjective comparison. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle " is because there is no need to categorize heterosexuality with such descriptively inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconsciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison.

[@nickbarcheck1019]

I honestly don't know if I or anyone is "born gay" but I've been attracted to boys/men from as early as I can remember until now in my late 20s with zero attraction whatsoever to girls/women. I think it's a pretty safe bet you're born gay or straight and that it's a certain thing in your brain.

This video and analytical findings offers just a small percentage data and populations and small samples. Haven't you notice that there are peole who are gay before but now are straight. Are you satisfied with the data you have? Are you biased to people who does not know their gender then after some time they finally come up with an idea that they are a man. Looks like science is not on you. Do you want me to provide it for you? And let me tell you the truth, genderism and role plays are largely and may depend on the family dynamics and an individual's individual implications and aspirations largely affected by the society and community in general, but at the personal level it is adhered to insufficiencies of someone to be identified as man without a father figure or with father figure but inefficient and irresponsible or absentee in one's child(son's) need will render the son have an abnormal attraction and deviate from cultural norm and christian values which is heterosexuality affection and attraction. Personal and good relationship is highly encouraged. Trust , loyalty, and heterosexual family where a woman may be absent for the son to thrive its manhood/manliness sexual desires, or i may put them on the normal family- (heterosexual unit) wherein the wife should be obeying and submitting to the husband that is admirable and respectable in all obedience and reverence. For me i prefer truth and science, rather than man's individual perception of the world and personal opinions far from the truth and science. Gay brain study loses its significance when applied to the general population. We needan to take in charge, to be in charge, and to lead others to Christ and to godly behaviors accepting and worth praising. They need to be emotionally matured, both intelectual and spiritual so that they are capable of helping others and not hurting them. An abled leader! The family should monitor if the child is influenced by others such as the television, ask yourself if the program they are watching incorporates and symbolizes the truth and intrinsic quality of life and values the importance of family and tradition. Are they worth watching for or are their parents, friends, family etc, are there for your young child to have special parental guidance while watching that these media are not all true and that they need to say things which are for them and not. Then gender dysphoria can outright be solved by correcting their environments and bad influences to their developing minds. God given roles should be fulfilled and its value are of great importance because it tells you who we should and who shouldn't be. We are loved and we stand corrected in the error of our ways. Making and doing things wrong are humanly, but forgiving and loving truth, are truthfully divine and awesome qualities I wish others also have. Let us say that teaching your conscience is absorbing wether you are taught right then in social science we have what we called as relativism "truth is relative" (the society dictates which is right or wrong, and conscience is subjective not objective = you can be right even if you are wrong) but in Christianity we have absolute truth and that is God. Bible is the hardest thing you can disprove as unreal and unscientific and unhistorically accurate, authoritative and valid.

[@scerb100]

I feel like the theory here kinda does answer the question. If there is a divergent neural development, something may happen where it is not a one or the other. Like, it’s not developing a 100% gay or straight brain but winds up somewhere else. It also depends I think what we consider bisexuality to be. Is it bisexuality if a man engaged in sexual activity once or twice with another guy? What the level in which we consider a person bisexual? As for asexuals (currently an even small population group) perhaps the same neural development is just underdeveloped. That’s all I can think of. But essentially the answer according to this is finding the parts of the brain that influence sexuality during development.

[@mackayladavis4021]

@@scerb100 Sexual activity is different from sexual orientation. A lot of gay people feel pressured by society to sleep with the opposite sex. That doesn't mean they are straight.

At school people would catch on to this and everyone thought that I’m most likely gay. Just to add, I have one very close best friend that is male and people at school have asked questions like “Are you dating him?” Even though he is just a friend and I have never thought about him in that way. Also I live in a very conservative part of the country were there is no gay people that have came out in my school and practically nobody fits the stereotype of being gay.

helpful information If you are gay or transgender and know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this. The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is born with predetermined physical, biological & psychologic features. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural path of our evolution & found commonplace in nature. Medical research in this area clearly explains this process. Those who believe it is an abomination do so based not on facts but on religious authority. It is their right to believe this and I understand them. It must be made clear however, it is based on religion not science. If you are truly interested in the truth based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay explains this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for others & yourself, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. If you chose to respond to me, please read this book &/or the numerous articles referred to in the reference section before hand. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace

The only problem is religious people, let’s say men, thinking when they stick their penis in a woman they are somehow blessed and do some holy act, whereas if they do it to a man they go to hell.

[@LilSailorrr]

Firstly, the thought of choosing your sexual orientation doesn't make sense to me and never has (I'm Gay). I'm a bit of a scientist myself, so when talking about homosexuality I always ask the other person, "Did you choose to be straight, or did you simply always know you we're attracted to men/women?" The answer has never been yes, everytime I ask, they always say I am just attracted to men/women and always have been. Well, it's the same for me, I've simply always known I'm attracted to men, and the possibility of me being attracted to women has never occured to me. When I speak with other gay people regarding homosexuality, they said the same thing, some have questioned whether they actually liked women or not, but they have all explained that they simply have always liked men, negating the possibility of a choice, everyone seems to know. I think that the answer to homosexuality is alot more simple than that which we ponder. Perhaps, sexuality is simply a scale and we lie wherever we lie. The brain is obviously wired differently, and there are obvious discrepancies when observing a homosexual and heterosexual neurological system, but thats not to say its irregular. You can compare somthing like OCD (which I have) and Homosexuality. 2.3% of the world has OCD, imteresting. It's estimated about 21% of the world is homosexual or bisexual. It may not seem like much but 2.3% of the world having a known neurological disorder, and 20% being Homosexual, is a huge difference, and could infer that it's nothing more than just a scale that different individuals lie on.

I'm gay and born this way. And I get tired of this constant debate of whether or not someone is born gay. I'm 35 years old and I knew when I was three or four that I was different. Not in any other way. Not in some perverted way like people like to think is the case with the fact that I like to wear boys clothes at a young age being a girl and I screamed if I was in a dress. There's nothing crazier to it than that. I didn't know anything else until I got of age and then I knew what a crush was and I did crush on girls being a girl. So thank you for this video.

beerbatov I don’t know what’s your sexuality. What I can tell is that when one is born homossexual one will overthink everyday of life. What’s wrong with me? I am different, why? I don’t like that! No one must know about it! What will happen if someone finds out? What my family will do to me? Nothing will be the same. I don’t want to get hit! I will never be happy! Why the world is so hostile? Why people are so stupid and aggressive about it? Should I tell friends? What will happen if I tell anyone? That’s what we overthink while we are talking about ordinary things with friends and family things. Sometimes we are smiling but screaming inside! I wish I could simply enjoy life right now, but after 30 years screaming inside, denying my thoughts and my feelings I just don’t know how to deal with it. I feel like I have created a character to interact with other people. I feel like I don’t know who I am. I have hidden myself harder and harder and harder that I don’t have a mental basis to enjoy anything. Every time I am about to feel any joy the same time my brain starts to process that it’s not real. I guess when you suffer for such a long time you get used to suffering. It becomes a part of who you are. Furthermore if you get told all the time for so many years that something is a shame, dirty, filthy, indecent, ridiculous, an abomination and dangerous it’s really hard to feel good about it even after you are grown enough to know the truth! You are living a lie for so long time that the truth is painful and strange! Is it worthy to live like that? I am sorry if I am being annoying!

You don't have to accept a "gay identity" or "straight identity" or LGBTQIA+ specification. These sorts of labels more often than not reduce you to an avatar of a stereotype. Just be yourself, love who you love and insist on being treated with the same respect and dignity you show to others. Focus on your physical, mental and financial health, and surround yourself with friends who live out the values, morals and beliefs you want to internalize. No one should feel a need to accept an abusive situation. Take action to change your situation, and never be afraid of asking for help. Life does not come with an instruction manual sadly, but tapping into the experience of someone who has navigated similar challenges can save you a lot of pain.

Hi Chris from South Africa here! Evolutionary biologist in training. What youre referring to is known as the "gay uncle" theory and it has substantial evidence supporting it, however, the theory is still being debated. Basically the outline of the theory is that homosexuality acts as social glue among social animals! Think of it as an ant colony phenomenon... Where the queen can selectively uncoil certain dna strands to either birth worker or soldier ants. It is being speculated that this may somehow be the case with humans and other soecies as well...think about it... Gay people tend to have very distinct personality traits unique to them... If a mother is subjected to lots of stress and other factors then it is likely she will give birth to a gay child... A social glue so to speak. Hope this helps😁

Oh sorry saw you were talking about asexuality as well. This is not really being investigated as of yet as we still have much to understand about the evolutionary and biochemistry involved in homosexuality alone.

I had this discussion with a few twins, twins usually involve identical appearances (usually) but they are not 100% the same. I don't want to go too much into detail but it involves genitalia (the penis/scrotum). What I have noticed is, it has to do with probability when it comes to twins. The first born is more likely to be gay depending on how many boy births the Mother had, the probability is low if it's one of the first. Almost always, the second twin is different than the first especially with triplets. As a result, the chance of the first twin straight and the 2nd gay is extremely high.

@@raulantunez4228 *"Gavin Alexander they said it was because not having children would be a flaw to natural selection."* Not necessarily. There are numerous traits and/or biological conditions that hamper and/or impede reproduction. Infertility among heterosexuals is a factual occurrence. If nature and natural selection weeded out any and all traits and/or biological conditions that negatively affect reproduction, then this would not occur. So any claim that natural selection absolutely zeros in on, and eliminates traits and/or biological conditions which hamper and/or impede reproduction, is demonstrably false. *"Let’s say you’re part of a small tribe and if half of them were gay it would probably end the tribe’s existence in a generation or two."* You just constructed a false scenario. Same-sex attraction only occurs in an estimated 2-6% of the population. Not 100%, not 50%. So the scenario which has been constructed to make the point doesn't represent reality or what occurs in nature, therefore, is not a valid argument to present in defense of your claim regarding natural selection.

I’ve been crazy about boys since the 5th grade. I remember being genuinely attracted physically and emotionally for the first time at that point, to a boy in my year who had grown particularly close to me. Since then, regardless of the societal pressure to stay hidden or attempt to change myself on moral grounds, I have been unapologetically gay. I dated a few girls in high school in order to make my social situation easier in an extremely religious and conservative community. But, behind the scenes, I spent most of my time fantasizing about the boys who surrounded me and acting on my fantasies with willing partners…Haha, good times. College was incredibly important to me, as it was the first time I truly allowed myself to be publicly gay and affectionate with other young men in a way that didn’t prioritize hiding oneself and one’s relationships from those closest to me. I was privileged enough to study abroad in France during my time at university and had the immense privilege of living in a socially progressive city where I could be even more open. My open homosexuality wasn’t a big deal to the Europeans. In contrast, I’ve not understood the American obsession with other people’s sexualities since my time abroad. Our obsession with sex is a strange, unhealthy and uncomfortable attitude that seems to permeate just about everything we do in the US. At this point, regardless of what the science says, I know I am forever and irrevocably gay, and not by choice. I choose to live my life freely and how I wish, finding intimacy and romantic/physical fulfillment with other men as a proud homosexual. I sincerely hope that the obsession with homosexuality from those who attempt to control and categorize the world from an ideological vantage point dissipates. In any case, to anyone reading, I would recommend accepting yourself, and if possible, relocating your life to an area that is socially progressive. It’s just not worth it to spend your life among those who will never be able to reconcile your sexuality. It’s a dry and empty life, the life of a gay man surrounded by right-wing cultural conservatives and religious folk.

Accepting yourself as you are is a good start, but keep in mind that you are not and never will be perfect. You always have room for improvement, even when you are justified in being proud of yourself. One of the things I find quite odd, and that may be a area of possible improvement, is this idea of gay pride. How absurd. Flip the script and think about how ridiculous it would be for a straight person to claim straight pride. Sexual orientation is (probably) an intrinsic inborn trait. Pride in that is inapplicable. Secondly, please judge people as individuals, not as groups. There are plenty of just swell conservatives and religious people. Also, religions are dead. A religion is a set of rules that are impossible to fulfill, that you must fulfill in order to EARN your way into whatever nice afterlife is relevant to that religion.

Or with transsexuals, they are wired to expect that they will be born into a different body. I believe that in time neuroscience will advance enough to confirm my hypothesis and once this understanding is reached all of those "gay virus" / extreme religious folk will be silenced once and for all.

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continu- ance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Also in John 1:3 (KJV) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jesus said: 'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.'

I totally disagree with the steryo type explanation concerning the difference of brain function between heterosexual men and homosexual men...that finding is like black and white...but it's not as simple as that...some gay men may act, speak, talk and walk effeminate, a little similar to women, but not at all exactly like women..in most cases it seems like a superimposed version of what we believe is feminity, but is actually very different to women, its a Gay way, that even women can imitate, to the laughter of many, yet these same men undergo gender reassignment surgery and have to do therapy to bring their way to more resemble the way of a woman.. then apart from this they don't think the same as women, they analyze things as men because they are men, if one would take into account that most homosexual men are more in touch with some form of the arts and always outdo women by far, that's because they are men and the man's brain is more apt to imagination than the woman's brain....examples: designing,( cooks,fashion,hair stylists ect).. technical systems, troubleshooting/ problem solving, Art , ect ect...there are women that can do these things yes and true, but the majority are men and homosexual men are usually even more fine tuned in the area of the Arts in general..( women in general are better multitaskers than men, men are more focused in an area at a time and go deep, while women can handle several different things at the same time without going too deep into any yet not making mistakes that some men would..differences in brain operation...so i totally disagree with what is being said concerning homosexual mens brain operation is like that of straight women, yes they are attracted to men physically and some emotionally, but they are men... what about the very masculine Gay man? of which there are many, some who get married to women and have children , yet internally suffer putting on a show all their life to convince everyone that they are a normal heterosexual man, what about them are their brains like that of a straight woman... I clearly see that these experiments were done by someone who knows nothing about what causes differences in sexual orientation......a challenge here..go back to the drawing board.

The men that are closets to what you call "top" are those wtih more of an inclination towards women that simply like to take advantage of gay men. No man is with another man to not like penis.

[@IsaacJu0902]

Is this really true? Is it fixed in the Brain or can you rewire or learn other attractions with enough effort? I know it’s easier as women’s sexuality is more fluid but how about men? To me it doesn’t seem logical how hormones in the uterus would impact the brain that significantly.

[@sandrajackson709]

I think you underestimate the power of hormones and how malleable the brain is in a develping fetus. In a fully developed human emotional changes can physically alter the structure of the brain which of course still works through hormones. What you are saying is analogous to saying that chemicals do not significantly impact living organisms, If hormones give each sex its physical characteristics then it is certainly capable changing how the mind is structured in a developing brain.

He didn’t mention the birth conditions that could affect being straight or gay. He didn't said that people are gay as nature’s natural birth control, but I think this is part of it, but there could be other factors that influence being born gay or straight. For example, I’ve been gay since birth and it could be related to my mother having a C-section instead of a normal delivery. Also, the mother’s gut or general bacteria biome in her body could play a role. I’m not a health professional and I only got this information from some studies I read a while ago, so don’t take this as fact. But I do think being born gay is as natural as being born straight and I wish people would fully accept gays like they do straights. No one compliments a straight couple for being brave or proud of them for finding love. I hope we get the same treatment someday. I hope this adds some insight. Have a nice day!

It is important to point out that it is not a binary choice. The brain of a homosexual male does not just develop to become a female brain. These are subtle shifts that makes the brain "a bit more like" a female brain, and the amount of that shift will vary between individuals.

Do bisexuals have brains "somewhere in between" and do those with sexuality changes experience also corresponding brain changes? For bisexuals, we can perform the same tests.

From what I can recall: There are left-handed people (minority) and right-handed people (majority). Then there are ambidextrous people. Brain lateralization is responsible for this. The people whose brains are weakly lateralized are more likely - for example - to become stammerers than those, whose brains are strongly lateralized in either way. People who are neurodivergent in one way (say, on the autism spectrum or non-heterosexual) are more likely to be neurodivergent in other ways (say, not right-handed). Therefore the developmental trajectories involved may be similar and even interconnected.
