Maybe I should have phrased it differently. I believe any number of aberrations can have genetic predispositions, or in other words, a person may be born with a particular weakness.
Some people will become alcoholics when they drink and others will not, with everything else being equal. That particular weakness is something some are born with. This fact does not excuse the problem, but it is readily observable.
Likewise, I think a homosexual can be born with a weakness which might lean him in that direction, but in no way does it automatically dictate that this will be his future and lifestyle. Nor does it excuse the choice to walk down that path.
So, no, I don't believe in a "gay gene", but I do think it's one of many weaknesses a person may be born with.
Again, no genetic link has EVER been shown for this chosen behavior. It is 100% environmental.

If you are born with it, it's genetic. No one is "born" homosexual, or even with a tendency to it. It only arises due to trauma of some sort.
The lead cause is an absent or insufficent relationship with one's father. Second most prevalent cause is being sexually molested or otherwise abused, Third seems to be relentless teasing by one's peers during the formative years. All of these are environmental factors. Not genetic.
