Explain the current controversy regarding the origin of sexual orientation.
What will be an ideal response?
Scientists do not know what “causes” heterosexuality and homosexuality. Authors disagree as to whether that is an important question or whether it is a reflection of homophobia. The dichotomous thinking (someone is either heterosexual or not) masks the complexity of the subject of sexual orientation. It may be best understood as a continuum. The controversy has profound political implications.
