i think they confuse their want to love a man (as a father figure not sexually) as homosexuality... but i have no real knowledge on the matter, i think it psychological...

That's probably the deal with my cousin. His parents just got a divorce not too long ago, and his mom has been bringing in a different guy every week and shit.

lol He gets mad as hell if he can't listen to his music. He'd probably try to murder me or something. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and the kid will have a cleaver in his hands.

as your personaly advisor and mentor i suggest what you got to do is slowly introduce him to hip-hop, when he's passed out sneak in his room and play some 'Strait outta Compton' on low volume... this is the most serious case i've ever encountered, he needs the raw shit...
good luck.

How would you know this? And if there are numbers to back this up would the difference for gays really be much different than straight men? What about lesbians?
Trauma-san:
Well, I'll tell you my opinion. I have a bachelors degree, with a major in Psychology, and a minor in Anthropology, but what I'm going to tell you is just what I've observed, not what I was taught. Someone who would strive to study psychology would probably be a good candidate to ask about what they think about how someone's mind might work, though, in my opinion.
Anyways, I could just be totally full of shit, but in my opinion, there are never any black and white answers. With that said, though, I've found that in my experience, the majority, the vast, vast majority of homosexuals have been made that way by their nurture, not their nature.
I'm sure there are some people that are born gay, and will always have homosexual tendencies. Others are born (probably many, many, many children) with the tendency to be gay. When I was a kid, I loved music and singing, I loved to dance, I was potty trained early, I loved school, I loved to talk, I didn't like playing in the dirt or getting dirty, and I wasn't very good at sports.
My brother on the other hand, loved getting dirty, hated school, would never dance or sing, and liked to fight all the time.
In the wrong situation, with the wrong parents, I could have grown up queer as a motherfucker! Fortunately my dad was there to give me a father figure, so I grew up normal, even though to this day I'm not some macho testosterone driven motherfucker who's going to go fighting everyone (although my penchance for talking has given me a sharp tongue which I'm sure anybody familiar with this board knows about). My brother could NEVER have been gay. The way he was born, he just didn't have it in him, you could have raised him in a house of women, and he would have came out exactly as he is today. Me? I dunno. I'm just glad my dad was around, lol. That's the realest shit you'll ever hear anybody say on here.
Anyways, I think that's the issue. Some people are born with more testosterone than others, and in the right environment it just makes them a different type of person, 'more sensitive' or whatever the fuck you want to call it. In the wrong environment, it makes them gay.
I've known tons of girls, too, that were tomboys when they were children. Some of my best friends were like that, they got dirty and were always fighting and didn't like school, didn't like dolls, stuff like that. Their mom was around, though, to raise them as a girl, not a little boy.
I've also met several, tons and tons of people who are gay because of something traumatic that happened to them in their life. I've met people who were molested and became gay. I've met women who had husbands that beat and raped them, who turned against men and became lesbians.
I would say (no shit) in MY OPINION, 90% of Homosexuals are either gay because something in them desires to be different (they honestly feel a certain 'cool' factor by being gay), or something traumatic has happened to MAKE them gay (their husband beat them, their mom made them wear dresses, etc.). The other 10% probably had homosexual leanings from the time they were kids and were grown in a 'soft' atmosphere, or the other way around for girls.
Thirteen:
what i wonder is, why do all gay guys have that same gay voice..., my friend's brother just came out and when he was little, he did fruity things, but he never had the homo voice until he came out...
that's one thing so show that society is to blame and it's not all genetics
