How does one go about proving that homosexuality is NOT inborn?

In a court of law, it isn't necessary for the defense to prove the accused innocent; the burden is on the prosecution to prove his guilt.

That is the case here. Those asserting homosexuality is biologically hard-wired can prove that, if it's true. However, the absence of proof that it's true is not the same as proof that the opposite is false.

To illustrate, if I insist that 2 + 2 is 4, I can prove it by showing that 2 + 2 = 4, or by proving that 2 + 2 is NOT everything else BUT 4.

Are you asserting that we know enough about God's creation that we could absolutely prove it if homosexuality was hard-wired for some?

The court of law statement tells me you are grasping at straws and came up with an irrelevant one for the topic. Your other argument is only valid if we do, indeed, have the knowledge required to be able to actually prove it one way or the other - it remains a scientific, rather than a legal meme.
