Those of the population who have the mixed fortune to be homosexual were brought up by their parents as model heterosexuals. Their "imposed orientation" was thus planned to be to find a mate of the other gender. But this did not take place.
To me this means that choice is a rarity, "nurture" is discounted, and that homosexuality must, ipso facto, be natural for some of the population
If it is natural, then , since our nature is determined by our genetic makeup (there is nothing else left), it must be genetic.
You will forgive me if I say that it is unlikely to be hereditary, despite the large number of homosexual men and women who are married to the other gender and have fathered or mothered children. I very much doubt, however, that any study on such a population would be possible
