Life would only get boring if you allowed it to get boring. If I was immortal I'd scheme a plan to rule the universe. I'd have all the time in the world to devise my plan.

I don't believe it to be genetic either, but I'm curious of your reasons for believing it obviously isn't so?

The latest is that homosexuality is linked to gender identity, which is dictated by a surge of testosterone at about 3 months of age. Doctors know this because it was monitored in hermaphrodites to decide which sex to assign the sexually ambiguous baby via surgery. Those babies whose bodies produce the surge of testosterone at 3 months have a 97% chance of identifying as heterosexual males, wheras those who don't produce the initial surge will identify as heterosexual females. This suggest that hormones during the early stages of a babies' development has a direct impact on the individual's sexual orientation.
