1) Do you think that sexual orientation is inborn and unfolds as you develop or do you think your upbringing\/experience\/environment is the most important factor in your sexual orientation? There is not a right or <\/span><\/div>\n
wrong answer.  I am asking that you explore the theories\/studies presented in the reading and use the ideas presented to support your stance.  I ask that you NOT provide philosophical or religious doctrine or texts as your support.  While everyone may have belief systems that influence their opinion on the topic, this <\/span><\/div>\n
discussion is not the forum for expressing those beliefs.  I am looking for support from your textbook <\/span><\/div>\n
readings.  You are also welcome to use any academic, peer-reviewed, journals or sources to support your <\/span><\/div>\n
idea if you prefer, providing appropriate citations and references for such.<\/span><\/div>\n
2) Support your response with at least 3 in-text citations, citing EVIDENCE (ie not just opinion), to support <\/span><\/div>\n
your stance.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
