[’“People aren't’t born smokers or drinkers. They’re almost certainly born gay. So your analogy doesn't’t work (IMO).”

You are totally wrong on this, you should research more.

The same type of changes in genes that predispose someone to being gay exist for drinking and smoking.

If you genetically test people for being gay, you find heterosexuals that have been normally married for 40 years.’]

Except, if you were born in a country that had no alcohol (say Am. Indians before Europeans) or a land w/ no tobacco (say Europeans before Am. Indians) that would never come out.

But a genetic inclination to homosexuality always will, because there are always going to be men and women. Also, I think you can make an argument that a relationship w/ a partner is part of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. It's so basic to human existence, not like smoking or drinking.

That said, I said “(IMO)”, because I realize others disagree. So that's it, we just disagree.

Fine, even in countries without tobacco, they have these genes.

You know my point very well, you can be born with any of these genes but you have a choice ... you aren’t born that way .. you are born with certain strengths and weaknesses as human beings....aka genes.

Nothing is predetermined...nothing
