Unless there is a "gay gene" I would tend to agree. They are made not born.That's not the only way people could be "born gay." Genetics are one possibility, but another is if the baby was exposed to certain hormones while in the womb. If a female baby is exposed to male hormones, she can come out pretty butch. Different hormones can have different effects. For instance, women who carry male babies and have a lot of stress during their pregnancies are more likely to give birth to kids who grow up to be gay. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with genetics, but nonetheless would result in a child being "born gay."

For instance, women who carry male babies and have a lot of stress during their pregnancies are more likely to give birth to kids who grow up to be gay.
Did your old wife tell you that yarn?
