So, ANYTHING other than heterosexuality is a CHOICE. I looked up as much information that I could find on this. Youngsters CHOOSE homosexuality or bisexuality sometime between their early to mid teens, which would be 13-16 years of age.
What scientists can't figure out is WHY these young people make that choice or why more males choose it than females.
If those people happen to be Catholics, then they commit sin if they engage in homosexual sex, even if their state allows a formal union, which I refuse to call "marriage."
Every culture in the world considers non-heterosexual unions as wrong, sinful or just plain aberrant. Ours doesn't and that is just plain wrong,

Aucontraire - reproductive dysfunctions such as XXY and Androgen insensitivity syndrome are as natural as... cancer.

But evidently that’s not recognized as a problem, historically, until the drones have taken over the hive.
I’m not sure how heterosexuality can be found to be or not be in genes; but your post is interesting to me.
From everything that I have observed and read, there are NO completely homosexual animals, except for man, if the animal is healthy and its social system normal.
But animals sometimes exhibit bisexual behavior, or strange displacements of the sexual urge - not always, but usually, when something has gone wrong with their social system. But healthy animals, in a social system that is normal for their species, exhibit heterosexual behavior as the norm.
One of my pets is a rescued male pigeon; because it was raised by me and my husband almost from the nest, it has transferred all of its sexual urges toward us, and toward our other male pigeon. Its natural social learning/behavior was interrupted. I am certain that if I presented a lady pigeon to him, he’d ‘go to town’; but he’d go to town on the male pigeon too, if I let them be together. He’s a pigeon; he’s not Man, who is far more complex than just “genes” has a much more complicated emotional/mental constitution.
I think this displacement can happen to humans, too. I don’t think that homosexual tendency has to be “genetic” to be something that a person would have a very hard time to overcome. It may have deep-seated roots in up-bringing, abuse, etc.
(I do sometimes wonder, however: if a gene, or some birth-defect were actually discovered as being a cause of homosexuality, what would the arguments pro/con be, toward people who aborted to cull it? Or, if it could be remedied by drugs, how would the ethics of that be determined? Opens an incredible can of worms....)
Just some random thoughts,
