“and have never understand how lefties can support Darwinism and homosexuality at the same time - it defies logic as they are diametrically opposed”
I don’t see that support for both is illogical. If it is caused by genetics it wouldn’t exist (as per Darwin, as it would severely reduce fitness), but all you need to get around that is to accept that the cause is not genetic. And to be fair no genetic markers have been found. The current thinking is some problem in utero, with some theories postulating a viral infection.

No, the current thinking is environment as in upbringing, family dysfunction, and getting molested. Links on the thread below, hours of informative reading.

Without any reputable evidence, the entertainment culture, uneducated media, and sexual activists have seduced today’s teenagers, in particular, to believe that people are born homosexual.
However, science has found no biological basis for homosexuality, bisexuality, or transsexuality.
Study after study has found the “LGBT” lifestyle to be unhealthy, with the highest rate of sexually-transmitted diseases, and higher cancer rates and earlier deaths.
While all people are worthy and valuable, the fact is people are not “born this way,” as a popular song insists.
