## Resource

Human sexuality is one of the most complex and fascinating aspects of who we are. But what determines a person’s sexual orientation? In this episode, we explore what scientists, psychologists, and researchers have discovered about sexual orientation, including the roles that genetics, biology, prenatal development, and environmental factors may play. While decades of research have provided important insights, many questions remain about how and why sexual orientation develops. Is there a single cause? What does the science actually say? And how have our understanding and attitudes changed over time? We examine the evidence, the history of research, and the ongoing efforts to better understand one of the most deeply personal aspects of human identity. Because the more we learn about human diversity… the more we learn about ourselves.
