U are only partly correct. Although the sexual orientation of most gay men are genetically predetermined, studies show that neglect strongly predisposes a man to become gay. The fact that his mom left him to be with his step dad and brother is not a lie. He had no friends to turn to, back when he was in elementary, and all thru to highschool, he had difficulties with his self-esteem. At one point, I remembered he told me he would slit his wrist twice a week to make himself feel better. Till this day, I feel remorse for him, but that does not in any way cover up for the actions he made.

Also, whether or not something should be determined as a psychological disorder is truly dependant on culture and Biological development. The fact that my friend was neglected by his environment caused him to divert his sexual orientation as an outlet for his problems. Culturally homophobia is now widely accepted as a norm.... Biologically, less so.
