I do not believe people are born homosexual. I am not going to go into all the reasons why I do not believe this; suffice to say however that I also do not believe that many of these people feel that they made a "choice." I have always believed that due to an experience or experiences, and other external stimulii, that they may have feelings and then make conclusions based upon these feelings. I believe many heterosexual people have also had similar feelings at one time or another but never acted upon them, and perhaps may have even been disgusted and surprised that they even had feelings or thoughts like that. However, I also believe that we are living in a fallen world. God doesn't make mistakes. I believe that too. BUT.... He has allowed many, many rather horrible things to occur. How else do you explain Siamese twins, hermaphrodites, chimeras, and other such odd phenoms. God has MADE these people too. There are too many examples to list them all but I think homosexual tendences, among other things, are a sign of an imperfect world, one that sin entered into when Adam ate the fruit offered by Eve.
Thanks for the interesting post though.

I think it's sort of like ones dietary choices.
In Korea nearly everyone ate dog. They liked it. But they had learned that dog was perfectly acceptable food. It was a means of relieving hunger that they accepted in their pantheon of food choices.
The same with homosexuality. At some point, every homosexual had a first homosexual experience. Like with eating dog, that was an introduction to a particular means of relieving their sexual urges. Since it worked once and brought about the desire result, they are then more likely to repeat that behavior in subsequent instances when they wish to relieve themselves sexually.
