To the title, no.
In fact, studies with identical twins yield evidence against any such premise.
Negative...out
So the fact that scientists admit that they do not know how the human brain really works convinces you that you know how the human brain really works.

When I was learning to read I really liked the word “gay.”
Too bad it got ruined.
No, some are born melancholic.
I say no(and Iam not real smart) they are indoctrinated(abused) at a very young age and carry that forward
If they could find a ‘gay gene’ I guarantee you it would be required teaching to all high school freshman (or third graders.)
The fact that they haven’t found it speaks volumes.
Also, very few homosexuals are exclusively homosexual. Most of them are bisexual. That clearly implies that they're making a choice.
And then there is Justin Bieber....
People are born sinful.
Being gay is a sin.
So sure, why not?

Let’s say that it is true that gays are born that way.
What if you could detect that in the fetus prior to birth?
Would the mother be criticized for choosing to have an abortion by the liberals if she made it known she did not want a gay child?
Are Gays Born That Way?
According to the left, yes—”gays” are born that way and cannot change.
But pedophiles who molest children, leaving them scarred for life—well, until pedophilia, like homosexuality, is also made legal, then condoned—pedophiles *can change* so that recidivist child molesters should not be sent to prison where they are butt-pounded themselves until they are cross-eyed.
If we were all perfectly honest, homosexuals could change too—if we didn’t call them gay and instead began sending them to prison again ... where, ironically, they might live happy albeit short lives.
But at least they wouldn’t be driving the rest of us bat**** crazy with their Mary flouncing about, constant whinging and ceaseless demands.
Mr. Answer Man
I'm in IT, and have had to do forensics on the computers of people being terminated. Probably done a couple of dozen over my career. All of the termin-ees that I had to research were gay, with two (really weird) exceptions. And - this wasn't a question of someone just getting a risqué pic or two in their email, or surfing EBay on company time.... every instance that I researched was egregious and sex-related. Any reasonable person would wonder what possessed these fools to do such things during working hours, on a monitored company network, with a company-owned computer.
Makes me wonder about some sort of impulse-control issue. Whether it's a chemical imbalance, or mental issue, or what, I dunno.
Additionally, there's a much smaller subset of gays that I've observed, who I'd call "Flaming Gay Drama Queen Attention Whores". They're usually the type that show up in "Pride Parade" pics here on FR. IMO, being gay allows them to garner more attention, while still maintaining their social status. If they were able to find another way to get MORE attention - and this is the key, without putting their social status at risk - they'd drop the whole gay thing and move on in a heartbeat.
Again, IMO only - transgenders might be the next evolution of that attention whore mindset, though it's too early to tell.
It would be a birth defect. Abort!!(snark)
no it is not a gene or born that way.
the “born” myth is a political tool to allege a recreational behavior as an immutable trait and thus subject to special rights.
This mandates acceptance by enforcement of law.
a selected or preferred behavior has no right to enforcement by law.
(that is also why the word was changed from “preference” to “orientation”)
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
Nope. Homosexuality seems to be a learned experience. Nothing genetically make a homosexual be flamboyant or talk with a lisp. That is learned behaviors.
I do not support gays, and do believe that there are environmental, as well as aberrant choices, that allow the creation of a gay person living a gay lifestyle.
Having said that, I do believe that science will eventually find that gay tendencies, like many other aberrations from the norm, have some basis in genetic errors. Chromosomal abnormalities are at the root of tons of developmental disorders, both physical and mental.
They can’t be bred out, as they are random breakdowns in an otherwise normal system. They can be identified, and possibly treated in the future, if social opinion allows.
Still, choice and environment do play their part. Some people have the so called “serial killer gene”, but turn out fine. Same for a host of other issues. I believe genetic research is in it’s infancy. We don’t know what we don’t know.
PS: This is my humble opinion, and I’m not looking for a debate today, so I won’t respond to trolling. ;)
