Like IQ and alcoholism, homosexuality develops from some combination of both nature and nurture. It's not likely to be 100% one or the other. It's not useful to use for individual cases, but 50/50 in general is a good guess.

Homosexuality is a behavior. The question is whether it is acceptable behavior. Do we accept alcoholism, drug use, lying, stealing, murder, whoring, etc. We do not discuss genetics when we discuss those behaviors. Do we excuse those smokers because it is in their genes?

The cause is another discussion. Behaviors have a complex cause as you presented. One of causes that does not get discussed is imprinting. At one time in the 60’s and 70’s this was high on the discussion list.

I contend it is mostly a learned behavior but no one ever wants to talk about that. If you never take that first drink or smoke, you will will never be addicted.

...so is pooping. If you just refused to poop, you wouldn’t have to poop all the time. Problem solved.
