Two things in particular I'm going to point to. A number of major studies have been done of animals. All the species studied had homosexual behavior -- and all the species that had pair bonds at all had homosexual pair bonding TO THE EXCLUSION OF MATING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX IN HEAT. Explain how that is even possible as a choice for animals? (the best book in this particular field is probably Dr. Bruce Bagemihl's book "Biological Exuberance" from St. Martin's Press -- from its bibliography you can find many others, and you can easily find other studies that look at the same phenomena.)
2nd -- the Fruit-fly study. The results for fruit-flies can't be denied (link below). People are trying to say that just because it applies to fruit-flies it doesn't have to to people. Alright, while I accept that the genetic mechanism is much more complex among humans -- why on earth would something like homosexuality be completely genetic in simple species and not genetic at all in the most complex species? It makes no sense, particularly given that no gay person I know EVER remembers being attracted to a female. Bisexuals are attracted to both. Gays are only attracted to same sex. So -- how is that a choice? Isn't it just the opposite of what straight people feel? An inborn automatic response. Period.
Standing against science, common sense, and logic -- you have a bronze age book that people keep telling each other is divine, but which says the earth has corners (Isaiah 11:12), sits on pillars (I Samuel 2:8), and is on top of the water (Psalms 24:1-2). The book says beetles have 4 legs not 6 (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and states that rabbits chew cuds (which they do NOT) (Deuteronomy 14:7). Given that choice, despite the emotional benefits that I'm sure some people gain from believing that the bronze age book is correct on this, just like it is on the corners -- I'll go with the logic, science and common sense.

Because as a gay man I can remember how, much of a ***** my mother was for the 9 months. I decided to be gay because that was enough and by the way that smell was to much. I have a hard enough time eating fish now, its like some kind of trauma.

What causes someone to be hetero?
What causes homosexual tension difusion behavior in bonobo chimpanzees?
It's not choice, it's not perversion, it's not trauma or lack of a father.
It just IS because it IS.

What causes a person to be left handed?
I hate being left handed, but I am.
I hate having brown wavy hair, but I do.
I hate having an olive complexion, but I do.
I hate being homosexual and believing Christ is the Lord, our God, but I do.
I hate ignorant questions, but answer them anyway.
What causes a person to be homosexual? Nothing, it's just the way it is.

It depends it can vary from personal experiences to even fullfilling the curiousity inside the mind. Or even a desire to complete a hidden fantasy.

response to the answer "they choose"
would you still say that those who hate their life and wish and pay to be different also choose it. the numbers that commit suicide every year because the pressure was too great, the obviously wanted to be in the situation. and last but not least, the many whos families disown them. they obviously want to be without their family.
just think about that.

I think all sexual orientations depend on personal circumstances, where and how you were brought up, people who influence you, the ways you got to know about sex and your partner's interests as well.

Genes?
Actually if you are a male, and are fed chocolate before you reach 6 months old, you will be gay.

Pretty much the same thing that causes a person to be heterosexual.
