Homosexuality.

[RubiedCross]

For a while now, I've been pondering the idea of homosexuality and what it really is, or at least how it came to be. I've heard from some of my more intellectual friends that homosexuality is being studied by scientists. From what I remember, some say that homosexuality, or being attracted to someone of the same sex, is a state of the mind that has been there since birth, and is non-reversible. I, myself, am a person of faith, and believe otherwise. I will not bring that into this discussion, as all thoughts and beliefs on this subject through the eyes of a Christian would be considered opinion (which it is) and I would be shunned from the Critical Thinking forum. Therefore, what I am asking for is for any proof as to whether or not homosexuality is all mental, and can be reversed, or if it is, for the lack of a better term, solid.

I'd appreciate any proof and/or evidence found on this subject, and if it has been discussed before. I myself have heard of people who were previously homosexual "become" straight, but do not have any proof other than the words of my elders. Opinions in this topic I will also find helpful. I would like to know what others think about all of this.

Also, for those of you who are going to go to wikipedia, please don't. As wikipedia can be edited by anyone and may contain false information. I'd prefer proof from other sites.

Thanks.
