Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they believe that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. They favor biologically-based theories, which point to genetic factors, the early uterine environment, both, or the inclusion of genetic and social factors. There is no substantive evidence which suggests parenting or early childhood experiences play a role when it comes to sexual orientation. Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the opposite sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex. 

Sexual identity and sexual behavior are closely related to sexual orientation, but they are distinguished, with sexual identity referring to an individual's conception of themselves, behavior referring to actual sexual acts performed by the individual, and orientation referring to "fantasies, attachments and longings." Individuals may or may not express their sexual orientation in their behaviors. People who have a homosexual sexual orientation that does not align with their sexual identity are sometimes referred to as 'closeted'. The term may, however, reflect a certain cultural context and particular stage of transition in societies which are gradually dealing with integrating sexual minorities. In studies related to sexual orientation, when dealing with the degree to which a person's sexual attractions, behaviors and identity match, scientists usually use the terms concordance or discordance. Thus, a woman who is attracted to other women, but calls herself heterosexual and only has sexual relations with men, can be said to experience discordance between her sexual orientation (homosexual or lesbian) and her sexual identity and behaviors (heterosexual).

Forskare känner inte till den exakta orsaken till sexuell läggning, men de tror att den orsakas av ett komplext samspel mellan genetisk, hormonell och miljömässig påverkan. De föredrar biologiskt baserade teorier, som pekar på genetiska faktorer, den tidiga uterusmiljön, båda, eller inkluderandet av genetiska och sociala faktorer. Det finns inga konkreta bevis som tyder på att föräldraskap eller tidiga barndomserfarenheter spelar en roll när det gäller sexuell läggning. Forskning under flera decennier har visat att sexuell läggning sträcker sig längs ett kontinuum, från exklusiv attraktion till det motsatta könet till exklusiv attraktion till samma kön. Sexuell identitet och sexuellt beteende är nära besläktade med sexuell läggning, men de urskiljs, med sexuell identitet syftande på en individs uppfattning om sig själva, beteende syftande på faktiska sexuella handlingar utförda av individen, och orientering syftande på "fantasier, fasthållanden och längtan." Individer kan eller kan inte uttrycka sin sexuella läggning i sina beteenden. Personer som har en homosexuell sexuell läggning som inte stämmer överens med deras sexuella identitet kallas ibland ”stängda”. Termen kan dock återspegla ett visst kulturellt sammanhang och ett visst övergångsstadium i samhällen som gradvis arbetar med att integrera sexuella minoriteter. I studier med anknytning till sexuell läggning, när man behandlar i vilken grad en persons sexuella attraktioner, beteenden och identitet matchar, brukar forskarna använda termerna konkordans eller disharmoni. En kvinna som attraheras av andra kvinnor, men som kallar sig heterosexuell och bara har sexuellt umgänge med män, kan alltså sägas uppleva osämja mellan sin sexuella läggning (homosexuell eller lesbisk) och sin sexuella identitet och sitt sexuella beteende (heterosexuell). 1. Är den exakta orsaken till sexuell läggning vetenskapligt känd? 2. vilka är deras tankar? 3. av vad? 4. anser de att det är möjligt för livmoderns utveckling att spela en roll? 5. Hur spänner sexuell läggning? 6. inklusive vad? 7. är sexuell läggning detsamma som sexuell identitet? 8. vad syftar identitet på? 9. Hur är det med orientering? 10. Vad syftar det på när någon är "i garderoben?" 11. vad återspeglar den termen? 12. Vilken sorts scen? 13. Vilka termer använder forskarna? 14. vad är konkordans? 15. Vad är ett exempel på oenighet?
