The very terms of a debate about whether or not sexual orientation is primarily a biological phenomenon fail to consider the complex origins of the phenomenon. Deconstruction of the term "homosexuality" shows that it refers to multiple factors which cannot be studied as or subsumed under a unitary concept. Adequate understanding of sexual orientation must consider the developmental, interpersonal, experiential, and cultural dimensions of sexuality, as well as any biological contributions to sexual attraction, behavior, and identity.
关于性取向是否主要是一种生物学现象的辩论措辞，未能考虑到这一现象的复杂起源。对“同性恋”一词的解构表明，它涉及多种因素，而这些因素不能作为单一概念进行研究或归入单一概念之下。对性取向的充分理解必须考虑性的发展、人际、体验和文化层面，以及任何对性吸引、性行为和性身份的生物学影响。
