there have been huge sums of money paid to scientists and behavioral experts over many years attempting to find a biological cause and so far they have come up empty.

For sure I don't know, but neither do they.

"We are all children of God."

Wrong, Hussein.

A great many people are children of Satan.

I don’t profess to be an expert

Oh, but I'll bet you are.

I don’t think it’s a choice

Then why do they call it "sexual preference"?

We don’t make determinations about who we love.”

What's love got to do, got to do with it? Are you saying you loved Larry Sinclair?

With daily multiple anonymous "partners" I doubt they even shake hands, never mind fall in love.

I don’t think a biological cause has been found for any mental illness.

Here’s what God has to say about it and it doesn’t look like its been a recent phenomena.

Romans 1:24-27
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

All the gays I’ve known said they always knew it.

When I was little I had crushes on boys....so my sexuality was determined before I even knew what it was. Figure it must be the same with gays.

That being said...I think there are wanna be’s out there...just doing whatever.

Any act they engage in is chosen. Plus, they can choose to seek help!

“I don’t profess to be an expert – this is a lay person’s opinion – but I don’t think it’s a choice,” he said. “People are born with a certain makeup. We are all children of God. We don’t make determinations about who we love.”

"Lay person"??? Meaning "I knew I was gay since I got molested as a child so I know it's not a chioce"?

And, BTW, what does "love" have to do with what goes on at Man's Country or whatever that bath house club is called in Chicago that he was a member of?

But there has to be an urge that leads to the act.

Yep... like forcing it on the kids at a young age in schools. Pretty soon kids will get teased if they don't "explore".

We don’t make determinations about who we love.”

Is he claiming that love is a purely biological function, and that his professed love for his wife is totally out of his control?

Is he saying that people who are attracted to someone are unable to prevent their acting out on those attractions? Is he saying that if a person wants to have sex with another, that person can't be stopped from doing so, regardless of the other person?

Because, in the end, that is what "don't have a choice" means. That somehow we are not responsible for our own actions, that humans have no control over what they do. That is a very non-christian point of view.

There are countless former homosexuals. Plus, most homosexuals were molested/seduced when very young. They are not born that way. No evidence at all to support that although (homosexual) scientists have looked very hard. It’s due to a number of factors which also include very poor relationships with father and often mother, or no father at all. For both men and women. Add to that the fact that adult homosexuals are known to be attracted to young boys around puberty or even younger, it’s a recipe for disaster - and more homosexuals created.

Shoring up his base. If he’s working on the base this close to elections, he’s in real trouble.
