As evidenced by the numerous gay instances that have been reported in various print and electronic media, homosexuals continue to emerge in a variety of spheres of life. By understanding the causes influencing the existence of homosexuals, researchers paid particular attention to this condition in order to intervene in gay difficulties. The purpose of this study is to outline the variables that contribute to homosexual conduct in Padang. Data on 32 homosexuals in the city of Padang were collected for this quantitative descriptive study. Utilizing the FRC Homosexuality Inventory (FHI), data were gathered. Descriptive analysis was used to examine the data. The results showed that the dominant factors cause homosexual behavior, namely spiritual values in life (9.38 percent), social engagement in the gay community (87.5 percent), and the tragic experience of being the victim of sexual assault or harassment (18.75 percent). There are some preventive actions that may be performed to stop someone from developing gay tendencies.
