[{"role": "system", "content": "Homosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality is \"an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions\" to people of the same sex. It \"also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.\" Along with bisexuality and heterosexuality, homosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation within the heterosexual\u2013homosexual continuum. Scientists do not know exactly what determines an individual's sexual orientation, but they believe that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences, and do not view it as a choice. They favor biologically-based theories, which point to genetic factors, the early uterine environment, both, or the inclusion of genetic and social factors. There is no substantive evidence which suggests parenting or early childhood experiences play a role when it comes to sexual orientation. While some people believe that homosexual activity is unnatural, scientific research has shown that homosexuality is a normal and natural variation in human sexuality and is not in and of itself a source of negative psychological effects.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "i am openly gay "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Did you feel like your parents or early childhood had any effect on you being gay?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "no not at all, i actually didn't really realize until i was 16 but denied it"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Do you think that it is natural?
