Which statement concerning the origins of sexual orientation is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research indicates that the development of sexual orientation, including the timing of when individuals first experience same-sex attraction, can vary. Studies have shown that, on average, women who identify as lesbian may recognize or acknowledge their attraction to the same sex at a later age compared to their male counterparts who identify as gay. This difference in timing does not imply a universal experience but reflects trends observed in research. The other options (A, C, D) are not supported by scientific evidence. There is no single "lesbian gene" identified, gay males do not universally reject anything classified as "feminine," and the claim that interest in the same sex occurs much later in males is too generalized and not supported by current understanding of sexual orientation development.
