Is sexual orientation determined at birth? (Why/Why Not)

I remember when I was in grade school in the middle sixties, the teacher would take the pencil out of the left hand of any child who was trying to write their letters that way. And she would put it in their right hand and tell them that was the correct way to write.
Was that a 'personal choice' by the child as to which hand they used or was that determined well before they were born?

Sexual orientation is not completely predetermined. Most scientists agree that it is the result of a combination of environmental, emotional, hormonal and biological factors. In other words, many things contribute to a person’s sexual orientation and factors can be different for different people.
Sexual orientation is seen by experts and international medical organizations as an essential part of being human. It is like an individual not being able to choose his or her eye color or height.

I was nothing when I was a baby. Asexual. Can't remember I was lusting after someone. Can't imagine another baby lusting either, maybe after milk.

Are you saying you were a bisexual newborn? Or....did something in your upbringing/environment make you bisexual?

No one is born gay. Being gay means there is a sexual attraction to the same gender, and babies aren't sexually attracted to anyone.

Brain development is influenced by experience and environments.
