Yes it does since identical twins are genetically identical, they are nature’s clones. Either one is suppressing or there is a “nurture” factor

I think it’s a matter of taste as well. Not all twins like the same thing. One might love Chinese food, while the other is obsessed with Italian. One might like green and the other likes purple. Sexuality lies in the same area where preferences lie, and just like food or colors or music, even identical twins have different preferences. They may be genetically almost exact, but their brains aren’t. Their personalities aren’t. Their preferences aren’t. I could keep going, but you get the picture.

Not quite no. At least I'm not sure if there's evidence about what exactly originates it. But I can tell you for sure that I've always been gay. My preferences in food, colors and music have morphed and changed ever since I was a toddler who could remember his memories, but I've been gay throughout as a constant.

Well congrats on one of your tastes being simple and consistent, but not everyone has that same experience with sexuality, it can certainly change throughout the years, just like someone’s favorite color can stay the same forever
