: A problem we all assume is that there is one type of homosexuality.
There's another problem: people assuming that they know of which they speak when all they've done is created categories and decided they are 100% correct. DATA please..... and if you're not non-heterosexual then please state whether you are a "genetic" or otherwise, according to your own analysis. If you are heterosexual, you speak of something from opinion alone. You can have no inherent knowledge of something you don't have genetically.
There isn't. There are many different reasons for it...some can be genetic, others social influence, etc. A genetic homosexual is very easy to spot out...they are the effeminate men with the gay voices,
I suggest you read some "gay" (non-heterosexual, rather) voices. Pick up some non-fiction non-heterosexual books and learn from people who know. If non-heterosexuals say they were "nurtured into" non-heterosexuality, so be it. But take it from the real source, not what is deemed correct but is only popular "information".
Other times, there can be straight people who experiment with bisexuality, and that is more of a psychological homosexuality.
Be clear about the terms you use. You have now used bi-sexuality interchangeably with homosexuality. Define your personal meaning of homosexuality, bi-sexuality, heterosexuality, and any others that make it into your own categories.
And then there is faculative homosexuality...where one resorts to it, like in prisons.
Been incarcerated lately?

The only lessons to be learned here are "do not assume you are an expert"; "speak from experience"; "define your terms".
And don't talk down to me.
