Research by the scientific establishment into the causes of homosexuality frequently assumes a philosophy of determinism, treating homosexuality as an identity or orientation which is "formed", rather than a behavior which is chosen.
Some consider homosexuality to be a choice, while others (notably homosexual activists) consider it to be a type of genetic defect in humans. Humans, however, are not the only species that practice homosexuality. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans among others.[1]
