: So then all homosexuals are really just heterosexuals who have been convinced or persuaded of something other (which is that they have homosexual desire)?Yes, in my opinion.

The media, parentage, family etc. I dont have time to do an entire sociological break down but it's all to do with the socialisation of affection, gender roles, and the relations that these have to sexual impulse.
