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?

Environment might have a say in how one expresses sexuality but it has nothing to do with their actual sexuality. A lot of people have some memory of their sexual preference being established very early in life, despite being too young to understand or even feel sexual attraction. I grew up in an environment where being gay was not an option, so even though I clearly wasn’t straight it took me until I was 16 to even realize it. My first crush ever was for a guy friend of mine a whole 8 years earlier and yet I never thought about it until my late teens.
