The children of lesbian parents are less likely to identify as heterosexual as adults and much more likely to report same-sex attraction, according to a long-term study by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a think tank focused on sexual orientation and gender.
Dr. Nanette Gartrell, the report's lead author and a visiting distinguished scholar at the Williams Institute, told NBC News there are multiple theories to explain sexual orientation including hormones, genetics and the environment -- but so far, she added, "the evidence suggests that there is no one factor that is a single determinant."
