There is no known way to independently test for it. You can’t have an unconscious person a find ‘gayness’ through any scientific means. There has been considerable study done in this area for decades. The evidence is that it is purely psychological.

he’s a nonobservant Jew and a lifelong Democrat who volunteered for George McGovern, has a career in public service, and thinks George Bush is a war criminal. It wasn’t a matter of ignorance
Sounds like it was.

The Sex Positive agenda (as pushed by Kinsey, Reich, and feminists) seeks to end all moral judgments over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s). They want to see everyone sexually active at every age.
“Scientific” explanations for sexual fetishes is not their concern. They’d rather see humanity experience the pornicopia of all philias an become “worldly”.
Tell you that someone was "born that way" is just a quick way to blur the "ick" factor. Ultimately they want to end the moral judgements regardless of who does what.

Normal-phobia is greater than sex..
Consider Rosie O'Donut, DeGeneres, Richard Simmons..
The sex part is just normal weirdness..

He did manage to sneak in some of that research as well, and reached conclusions similar to Spitzer'sthough peer reviewers objecting that it revives the notion that homosexuality is a mental illness have thus far prevented Karten, an academic unknown, from publishing his work.Here's the deal: If you don't LIKE what the research says, prohibit researching in that particular area, and if research is done with conclusions you don't LIKE, make certain that it can't get published.

If science proves sexual orientation is more fluid than we've been led to believe, can homosexuality still be a protected right? Some of the politics of homosexuality hinge on the above idea. If sexuality is fluid and gays can change, what happens to the political power gays are now enjoying? Keep following the debate for more.

“It turns out that I didn’t have the faintest idea what love was,” he says. That’s not all he didn’t know. He also didn’t know that his same-sex attraction, far from being inborn and inescapable, was a thirst for the love that he had not received from his father, a cold and distant man prone to angry outbursts, coupled with a fear of women kindled by his intrusive and overbearing mother, all of which added up to a man who wanted to have sex with other men just so he could get some male attention. He didn’t understand any of this, he tells me, until he found a reparative therapist whom he consulted by phone for nearly 10 years, attended weekend workshops, and learned how to “be a man.”
Now a LIBERAL and IDIOTS would rather have this guy be TORMENTED and MISERALE than have a life that allowed him healthy love and contentment. LIBERALS are EVIL demented people.

There is a way to settle the argument, as to whether sexual orientation can be changed. Specifically, the method is to use PET scanning to determine the metabolic response to specific human pheromones.
Heterosexual males will show a positive response to the pheromone derived from estrogen (found in female urine). Homosexual men will not.
Women will show a positive response to the pheromone derived from testosterone (found in male sweat). Homosexual males will also show a positive response to the pheromone derived from testosterone.
An explanation of a positive response: The hypothalamus lights up like a Christmas tree, when exposed to the pheromone.
For an explanation: Go Here
As to whether therapy to reverse homosexuality works or not, talk is cheap. The only thing that will settle the argument is a definitive measure of changes in brain biochemistry and metabolism.
