**disclamer**
From the last few posts, i may be hated on for posting this, please know in advance that i mean no offence and that i know both gay and straight people, and to be honest feel i discriminate less then the average openly Homophilic (Is that correct haha ) person.
Also i came to rant about this initially from an annoying girls facebook post and stumbled upon this first haha, so i dont mean to come across too strong anyway end disclaimer

In my opinion, its debatable, with what i feel to be inconclusive evidence. For this reason i do not believe that it is a simple 'i was born this way' sort of deal, i think that's an oversimplification and to be honest not the way i chose to view human beings.
im a fan of the whole: phenotype = genotype + environment, not simply the genotype part. While i have no doubt that gay ( or otherwise by the way) people feel the way they do, i think there experiances as children and though general life play a huge role in there later sexual orientation i.e.

i think we can (hopefully) agree that the idea of a gay gene by itself is ludicrous, just like the idea of a christian gene, muslum gene a terriost gene or a 'i like KFC' gene is. changes in biochemistry/ brain development (that may be caused by genes) however id say can predispose people to behaving in certain ways, and can allow people to be be drawn towards deviant sexual behavior.
I think there was a case awhile back, i wish i remembered the name for you guys, about this 17 year old who had an imaballance that caused him to have a redicuously large libido. he excused himself about 5-10 times every day from class to go to the 'toilet
' and ended up raping one of his teachers.
The judge said that he was not willing to draw a line for where human will ends and innate biochemical disposition begins, and the teenager was sentenced as a sex offender (its a sad story)
anyway im like the judge, and i think this viewpoint is the most legitimate in terms of how far pure thought that can get you. any further and your beginning a philosophical discussion, and your viewpoint lacks the backing it requires to give a one-up on anyone else's opinion
my longwinded conclusion (hopefully it made sence, im very tired) is that its still a very gray area. people from both sides just love to jump ahead and push there own veiws onto others.
Innate. Who would choose to be gay? Just makes things more difficult. I mean, people can decide who they get together with, but not which way they swing psychologically/genetically. If a guy who was gay decided they would just sort of ignore their sexual orientation and get with a girl, they wouldn't get as much pleasure out of it as straight guys would. It's not like they want to be gay.
a retorical question, i hear it alot. i defiantly understand the point its trying to bring but as far it is in itself it doesn't actually provide an argument, sorta like 'why couldn't there have been alian abductions of my cows?' i dono, there might have been, but so few people chose to elaborate on this that it really is just a pointless question in my eyes.
(i dont mean to attack you personal, more people who's research has only consisted of memorizing this single buzz phrase) an unsubstantiated generalizationyeah alot at a consous level at least probably wouldent, i feel sorry for them in that way. Though there are definatly those who just do it for attention as well, and there the ones i probobly feel most annoyed at because its sorta insensitive of those that do have to deal with it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just ask yourself this question.
(IF you are straight/deem yourself) could you force yourself to love the same sex?
No right?
Unless the man in question is woman in question is Priyanka Chopra. But there are always exceptions
honestly, im fairly straight but i think if it came down to it (for some unknown reason 
then yeah, maybe, hahahahah
