Because your probably not gay or just confused. You can't just decide what your sexuality will be or this would be one crazy world. Your attracted to whatever your attracted to.

I honestly don't believe it's genetic at all. I think society just warps our minds and as you said people get confused. Like honestly, there were no Bi teenagers 20 years ago.

And can you honestly say that you can back that statement up? Of course there have been bisexual, gay, and straight people all throughout history! All through the 1900's however it has been looked down upon and people have been discriminated and harassed just because of their sexuality. Most of these people wouldn't have been out and therefore it seems like there weren't as many as there are today. As more people in todays modern age are becoming more accepting people can finaly feel comfortable with coming out.
There has been many research done on whether it is genetic or not, it isn't just speculation. There is definite support that it is genetic. I know I read a research paper a while ago about how the brain scan of a gay person and a straight person has a distinct difference. There's a bunch of papers, and research that backs these claims up.

ok I am bringing up this topic again because in my family course yesterday we were talking about if you believe you're born with homosexuality in your genes, but then we read this bit that says your sexuality preference can actually change if something tramatic happens or an event happens that makes you feel comfortable & secure being with the other gender. That's much different than it always being your preference, right?

Well I believe this is one of those gray areas. If something traumatic happened that would make you lean toward one gender more than an another, it certainly could change your orientation momentarily -- but it certainly wouldn't be in a healthy way as fear, trauma, and anxiety were the source for this change of mindset. And you're right, it probably wouldn't be their permanent preference if the traumatic incident alone caused them to be attracted to a different gender than they originally were. They'd probably still have the same sexual preference as prior to the traumatic incident, but they would need to deal with the trauma first before they can enter a healthy relationship. Also they probably wouldn't have any "sexual" attraction towards this person, but it would just be an emotional escape...
I hope that makes sense.
