What exactly determines one’s sexual orientation?

Are we born with it? Is it somehow in our genes? Does it have anything to do with hormones? Are there any external factors that can affect it?

We don’t know exactly, but it’s primarily prenatal hormones. Pretty much every marker we have for that, along with random gender linked stuff show a difference in straight/bi/gay individuals. There’s a genetic component, at least for men. But it’s not a simple inheritance case like or bloodtypes. A gay man identical twin is twice as likely to be gay that a fraternal twin (50 vs 25%).
