There is no one theory that can explain sexuality or sexual attraction. However as time goes on and neuroscience advances it would appear that maybe 35% of the population who are rigidly heterosexual or homosexual have observable brain formations. This in no way suggests than homosexuality is a misformation in the brain anymore than heterosexuality is. It simply points out that nature has a strong influence on primary sexual attraction. There is however an inherent risk in this understanding in particular the effects of hormones in the womb on brain development in embryo's but that is not necessasarily where the development of sexual attraction occurs. We know the brain is still very much developing and evolving after birth and that babies produce hormones in response to their environments and interactions with it that continue to shape the brain. The nature of our attachments post birth could have a far greater influence on primary sexual attraction than what happens in the womb and the neuroplacticity involved in the case of this stroke victim could easily be seen to support that notion. Science has no interest in a cure for homosexuality but unfortunately there will always be people who wish to pervert it for their own ends.

The more I think about this I am settling on this guy being gay all along but too afraid to come out and then an accident that he can blame his being gay on solved all his problems!
