Regarding the nature vs nurture thing: my belief is that being homosexual is born in you, but how soon you're aware of it, or act upon it is environmental. I was never interested in girls, but I don't remember being attracted to guys at all till I hit puberty. Before then, I didn't even know what "gay" was...the topic never came up seriously that I can remember. And even then, there was serious denial till partway through college. I think I didn't have any choice in the matter about being gay, but given that my sister and 2 brothers are straight, having grown up in the same exact environment, I don't think the actual fact of it is environmental at all.
