I remember reading an article last year that stated the American Psychiatric Association has determined that being gay is not caused by birth and is determined by upbringing or other social factors. Therefore, it is not born into them, it is a choice and can be conditioned out of them. They choose to live this lifestyle because of their sexual desires and not because of a natural born tendency.

Even if that’s so, you’re on the wrong track. The whole “born that way” argument is a red herring. So what if they’re “born that way”? Can’t pedophiles, polygamists, and representatives from all manner of perversities argue the exact same thing?
The sex positive agenda (as espoused by William Reich, Alfred Kinskey, a socialist Feminists) doesn’t CARE if it is genetic or conditional impulse.
They believe that sex is a birthright joy to be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere, at anytime, without any moral judgements regarding the sex, age, relation, martial status, number, or species of partner(s). If it feels good, do it.
The “gay gene” is just a little something something to convince some holdouts. The argument that ALL acts should come without moral judgement shows where they really are taking the political football.
IIRC, that was the opinion up until the 1970's, then the APA, decided to totally reverse course, and drop homosexuality as a mental illness (or if your a skeptic, they simply said, crap, we can't cure it, we give up, it should also be noted, that they are very very very far left wing).
Interestingly enough, and this I remember reading about last year, the doctor that was instrumental in having homosexuality no longer classified as a mental illness..........was getting death threats from gay activists over something else (the reason for that, I can't remember at this very moment).
