How do I determine my sexual orientation and gender identity?

We may not have an explicit way of determining sexual orientation or gender identity. According to experts, it is complicated genetic, biological, social, and psychological aspects. For a majority of people, sexual orientation and gender identity are shaped at an early stage in life. 

Can I change my sexual orientation or gender identity if I am gay?

No, and you do not have to worry about changing who you are.

However, science has identified that this is not possible. At LGBT Science, we believe our policies, laws, and attitudes towards LGBT people need to change.
