I agree with wdz, you can't be born gay, it just doesn't make any sense. When you're born you have that innocence and you're unaware of anything sexual, including your preferences toward men or women. My sister is gay, and she slowly turned gay after liking men less and less.

I don't think you're gay straight away, you become aware that you're gay once you experiment with people etc. It's all dependant on who you grew up with, I'm sure that if you grew up in an entirely gay community (somehow?) that you'd be inclined to be gay, or be completely not gay, just not homophobic at all.

If you're surrounded by gay people, would you really want to conform or find out what's going on in the outside world? Not sure, but you know.

I don't want to act like an expert on this though, being gay is a life choice it's not something you're born with, the only thing you're born with are different schemas, such as the "sucking reflex" which is for babies who need feeding etc.
