When you think about it, aren't these the two least likely possibility for the existence of homosexuality? If there were gene(s) responsible for homosexuality, then they should quickly be selected against because of the relative inability for such a gene to spread to offspring. For such a gene to exist, its inability to propagate would have to offset by a huge survival advantage, and I really can't imagine what that would be.
As for it being a choice, for one I find it doubtful that homosexuals would choose their lifestyle with the severe negative stigma attached to it. Secondly, I'm pretty sure my heterosexual preference isn't under my conscience control, so I don't see why it would be any different for a homosexuals.
I can see two better possibilities as to why homosexuality exist. One is that balance of hormones in the womb effects ones sexual preference. Secondly is that our sexual preference is burned into our brain before reaching puberty without our knowing.
