The family factors associated with the boys’ gender nonconformity in this study were “mother-dominated father,” “closeness to mother,” “strong mother,” and “low level of identification with father.”

Today we have the glorification, nay the deification of Sodomites and Sodomy with protection from the state and society at large. They are immune to criticism and and the one who dares to mock their filthy practices is ridiculed, stripped of all honor, and even jailed.

I agree, and so does Dr. Nicolosi.  There's usually a perfect storm of factors, but most of them do begin in early childhood.

There are two SETS of contributing factors.  I could list the natural contributors from Nicolosi's book, and they make sense.  But there's a missing ingredient.

These factors influence nature, but there is still the supernatural factor.

Does a person accept God's natural law or does he reject it?

In the case of the former, the man tries to work on overcoming these disordered inclinations and corresponds with God's grace to help him do so; in the latter, he accepts them, rationalizes them, and decides that they're not wrong.

In the former case, the man could actually win great supernatural merit in resisting his inclinations out of a desire to submit to God.  In the latter, he merits eternal damnation.

THIS aspect of grace and free will is one that nearly all psychologists neglect and dismiss, and so they cannot offer a complete treatment of the subject.

It's the difference between St. Peter (a great saint) and Judas (the most notorious reprobate in history).  Both of them betrayed Our Lord, but the former wept and repented, while the latter did not.

Some recognize that the behavior is sinful, but may fall out of weakness due to their broken and damaged natures, but others sin out of malice and attempt to justify the behavior.

According to Nicolosi, there is a genetic component ... to this extent (not that there's a gαy gene).  You might have a boy who's not particularly athletic, is awkward, has a passive temperament, etc and then in turn he's rejected by his male peers, and sometimes by his own father.  In some cases, exposure to certain chemicals and hormones have been linked to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity as well.  So the incipient ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ does not psychologically identify with being a male.  He finds comfort in the company of females and begins to identify with them.  Failing to find masculinity in himself, when he becomes older, he sees males as being an "opposite" gender, as it were and therefore seeks them out.  Just as straight men seek the "other" in women, these men see it in men.

It is not purely environmental (family and social dynamics) ... as can be demonstrated by families in which most boys end up being straight and only one ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ.  It is not purely genetic, or genetically determined, as can be demonstrated by identical twins who are separated; in many cases, one twin is straight, the other gαy.  It's some combination.  There does seem to be something genetic that disposes them, since about 38% of separated identical twins DO also become gαy ... which is much higher than the average incidence of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity among the broader population.  So it's clearly some combination of genes and environment ... not too different from some of those genes linked to cancer, where not everyone who has the gene gets cancer, but a disproportionately high number who have the gene do.  So the genes might be setting them up for a greater chance of becoming ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ.  Some genes make certain people much more apt to become alcoholics too.  There are some who can drink 2-3 beers a day for years and yet are not alcoholics, while others have a few and they're hooked for life.

At the end of the day, what ultimately matters is grace and free will.
