Still, I don't think homosexuality is a purely genetic condition. I would agree that there is a certain genetic proneness to it, but there can be emotional reasons for becoming homosexual too. Some of the lesbians I know seem to be as such because of successive BAD relationships with men. Just got sick of men but didn't want to be lonely sort of thing.
Our genetics seem result in a tendency towards certain types of behaviour. I expect that there are genes that increase the tendency for people to be heterosexual or homosexual and so on. Others may decrease those tendencies.
So do people CHOOSE to be gay, or is it predetermined? Genetically speaking, it is likely to differ for every individual. The sum of the various tendencies, plus a dash of environment and so on.
But socially speaking, who cares?
If someone tells me he or she is gay, that's good enough for me.
