Homosexuals are not ‘born gay’ according to a statement issued in late May by the Royal College of Psychiatrists: they now consider, what they previously denied, that the causes are ‘a combination of biological and postnatal environmental factors’.

This is being seen as a major admission as it implies that if a child does not encounter such postnatal life experiences, s/he will grow up heterosexual.
