Dude, there are some people in the word who clearly were born gay.

No. They are not. It is a behavior. And it is rooted in having issues with one or both parents. They like to fool themselves and everybody else that they "can't help it" but they can. They CAN get help. It is a mental illness.


The more likely scenario is that there is an inborn predisposition to heterosexuality that, for various reasons, genetic, biological, psychological, and cultural may be weakened or suppressed. Those with the greatest propensity for change in orientation back toward heterosexuality, therefore, are those who are least determined toward it.

Mental illness usually isn’t biological. When it is, there’s medication for the brains chemical imbalance. There is no “gay gene”. And no scientist is trying to push that anymore. 20 years later NOTHING points to such a gene.

All humans who are born with normal reproductive organs are heterosexual. It’s not just a “predisposition”.
