===Critique of studies=== The studies performed in order to find the origin of sexual orientation have been criticized for being too limited in scope, mostly for focusing only on heterosexuality and homosexuality as two diametrically opposite poles with no orientation in between. It is also asserted that scientific studies focus too much on the search for a biological explanation for sexual orientation, and not enough on the combined effects of both biology and psychology. In a brief put forth by the [[Council for Responsible Genetics]], it was stated that [[sexual orientation]] is not fixed either way, and on the discourse over sexual orientation: "Noticeably missing from this debate is the notion, championed by [[Alfred Kinsey|Kinsey]], that human sexual expression is as variable among people as many other complex traits. Yet just like intelligence, sexuality is a complex human feature that modern science is attempting to explain with genetics... Rather than determining that this results from purely biological processes, a trait evolves from developmental processes that include both biological and social elements. In addition, scientists rarely take into consideration sexual preferences that are not described by the two poles heterosexual and homosexual 'in hopes of maximizing the chance that they will find something of interest.'"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gene-watch.org/programs/determinism/SO.html|title=Brief on Sexual Orientation and Genetic Determinism'}}</ref> According to the [[American Psychological Association]] (APA), there are numerous theories about the origins of a person's sexual orientation, but some believe that "sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors," and that genetic factors play a "significant role" in determining a person's sexuality.[[Heterosexuality#References|<nowiki>[5]</nowiki>]]
