The anecdote proves nothing. If being gay were genetic, then being bi would also be genetic, so having someone state that they think it’s a choice only proves they are bi, not that being gay can’t possibly be genetic.

I believe in the “Hybrid Theory”.

That is that there are some urges that are naturally stronger in some people than other, now HOW these urges come about is still being investigated by science (science is never fully settled) , be it purely genetic or hormonal/chemical factor in the womb or during childhood is still up for investigation.

Now that is only ONE side of the coin the other side if how people ACT on these URGES is what makes them homosexual or not. It is possible to have homosexual urges and never act on them for one’s entire life. And conversely it is possible to not have any homosexual urges at all and behave in a homosexual way.

Take the example of Aggression and Violent Criminals, some people are naturally more aggressive than others.

The progressives would say that these people are more prone to be criminals and should either be imprisoned ahead of time , or excused of the crimes they commit because it is “not their fault” or “born that way”.

Where a conservative would say that only those who act on dangerous impulses would need to be punished while those who practice self control should be left alone.

So as you see this is why the Progressive mindset is either totalitarian or just plain dangerous, where the conservative mindset is freedom oriented, ie. the rule of law, not the rule of man or the jungle.

Just like on the Homosexual issue the Progressives either excuse or prejudge someone based on their UNFILTERED behavior, they are the most cynical control freaks out there as they feel it is their right that they get to herd the human animals around. Just as a rancher sees the bulls mounting each other and just shakes his head and goes, “ah well, they are just dumb animals, that’s their nature. As long as they stay in their pens it is fine by me...” . They never elevate humans above mere rutting animals.
