Limitless2 · Answer

Scientists don't know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they believe it's a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Research suggests that sexual orientation is likely caused partly by biological factors that start before birth.

Scientists are trying to understand why same-sex behavior is so common across the animal kingdom. Homosexual behavior has been observed in birds, insects, reptiles, mammals, and humans.
