I refuse to believe homosexuality or any sexual orientation is genetic. Fact is, we have only double the genes of the common fruit fly, and some studies show that our personality is essentially based on our upbringing as an infant and a young child. For instance, if you are left crying for long periods of time, you will leave your children in the same manner. If you are vicious and violent, you will repay your environment with the same behaviour. You will often choose the same partner as your parents did, also - this is very common.
Nor do I believe it is a choice. You have no control over your environment when you are that young. Your parents do. This is why some behaviours are mistaken for genetic, when they are merely grinded into the personality.
However, the option for 'alternative parenting' remains, and since we are capable of homosexuality, does that automatically mean it is natural? I'm split about this.
