“I don’t think anyone would try to claim a foot fetish or leather fetish was genetic.”

No, I would never imagine that those would be genetic.
Homosexuality is different. What causes one sex to prefer the same sex in a partner? Is it genetic or environmental?
Re: genetic/environmental — this makes for interesting reading re a high percentage of homosexuals being subjected to sexual abuse as a youngster. Also there is suppression of scientific studies which conclude that it is NOT genetically linked, because if it was the rate of siblings also being homosexual would be much higher, particularly in twins.

Look, it doesn’t matter whether it’s genetic or not.
There is a lot of evidence that alcoholism is genetic. That doesn’t excuse alcoholic behavior.
By extension, the Bible says that the sin nature, in all its expressions, is genetic, having been inherited from the first parents. The first child born on the Earth, Cain, was a murderer, having murdered his ow brother.
That does not excuse sinful behavior.
It’s going against nature. We genetically want to eat, but some people become anorexic. Anorexia is not genetic, it’s a disorder that goes against the natural functioning of the body. Same with homosexuality.
I think it’s a combination of things...some people are born with hormone imbalances too much testosterone or estrogen.
Then you have society and environmental exposures: some are sexually abused at early age by same sex person or opposite sex, thus destroying them sexually. I know quite a few Lesbians who were raped by step dad’s, uncles- they grew up hating and distrusting men-found healing with females.
I think single momma’s today make their little boys “momma’s boys”...my son refuses to date any more single momma’s with little boys because they are pansified (his words).
TV and media exposure to children, all the females rubbing up and kissing on one another on TV; guys doing the same...
It’s many things in my opinion that have caused the explosion of younger folks into gay life.
I don’t believe all are born gay- there are folks who had gay relationships who then ended it and got married to opposite sex partner. Ellen’s Degeneress’ ex GF is one example....
