Nurture vs. Nature
In a word: nurture.
For a human trait to be natural it has to be from the human genome. The human genome is passed on from generation to generation. Therefore, traits that favor allowing an organism to reproduce have a better chance of being passed on and multiplied. Homosexuality does not favor sexual reproduction for obvious reasons, therefore it is unlikely that 10% of the population codes for it.
Another natural explanation could be mutation. Random mutations of the genes of a human could lead to homosexuality. However, having 10% of a population randomly mutate the same gene is a statistic that far surpasses the rate of mutation in the genome. Therefore, there would have to be a natural explantion as to why a particular gene mutates more often than any other gene in the world.
Amidst those odds, I would negate any claims that homosexuality is nature. Howver, I'm already skeptical of me saying that it is nurtural. Could there be another reason besides nature or nurture? Who know. But I know that it is not natural.
