Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has suggested that homosexuality may be linked to prenatal exposure to unusual levels of androgens, such as testosterone. This exposure may affect the development of the brain and lead to same-sex attraction. However, there is not enough evidence to support the idea that lesbians have higher levels of testosterone or that gay men have higher levels of estrogen.
