There has been a constant disagreement between whether homosexuality is nature or nurture. In this video, we saw several evidence of both sides, but it was more concentrated on the theory that homosexuality is nature. There is an action or personality that is called childhood gender nonconformity in which the child’s behavior is more typical of the opposite sex. This one case of twins surprised me a lot. One twin was a boy who acted as a boy and the other one, who was a boy also, was already leaning towards the feminine side. The ‘normal’ boy, we can say, had G.I. Joe dolls, green and gray quilts while the feminine boy had finger nail polish, barbies and had a pink theme room. The video also showed us how gay people act differently from straight people like for example their hand and feet gestures and the way they talk. Most people differentiate them from straight people using this kind of judgement. One very interesting theory that I learned in this video was that the more older brothers a man has, the more chance he has of turning out gay. What is even more interesting is that this theory only works if the boy is right handed, and not left handed. Most psychologists think homosexuality is not nurtured, its natured, but not completely genetic. In my opinion, homosexuality is nurtured, it depends fully on you environment. If you are born a boy, you are born the way you are and it is not possible that you have genetics that make you act as a female. Your environment changes the way you think and it is the most important factor in homosexuality.
