they were saying it may have to do with a combination of genetics and hormones. they don't know for sure what causes it, but it's obvious that they don't "choose" to be that way. another case of how the religious right is WRONG as always. they drive people away from God instead of bringing them towards God. and no i'm not gay.

I am a person with gender nonconformity, and I also became gay at around 5. People are not born gay. The show on 60 Minutes upset me by saying that they thought they could prove that gender nonconformity was a pre requisite to being gay. That is not the truth, They are separate issues. It may be that a gender nonconformity is caused by some hormone, but it is not the same as forming a sexual attraction on the same gender. I see the agenda used to justify homosexuality and it is a lie being fed to America. I also want to clarify that some children learn characteristics that mimic a gender nonconformity.
A child does not have to have a born or learned gender nonconformity to form a sexual attraction on same gender, or even something a part of the same gender. But because of uninformed parents or children, they that have a born, and some of those with a learned gender nonconformity often believe they are gay, or often called or told they are gay and this also is an influence on a child to become sexually attracted to same gender. Often those with a more learned gender nonconformity will grow out of the characteristics that cause a gender nonconformity. Remind you that not all the children with a born gender non conformity will become gay.

Homosexuality is a normal human variation like height or IQ and as we can tell from some of the moronic replies here there is a huge range in IQ and still it's all quite normal....same with sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is not chosen whether straight or gay, our potential sexuality is fixed if not at birth then certainly in very early infancy.
It is not a sin to be gay and neither is the physical expression of homosexual love a sin...diversity is essential for the evolutional development of any species.
I'm not a Christian myself but here are some gay Christians who have something to say about it, they are working toward an inclusive church...good luck!:

They always find a medical reason for bad behavior. Sex is 90% in the mind. So it is because of the way a person begins to think.
They also say that Alcoholism is a disease. Yet people can quit.
The bible condems homosexuality, and destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah for that very reason. Why would the maker of all humans destroy someone for something that they couldn't help.?
That doesn't make any sense. It said they had come to be past all moral sense. Why in certain areas of the country there is more than others? Because in some areas it is more accepted.
If they couldn't help it why would it make a difference?

I could give a long speech about it since I have a A.B. in Psychology. In a nutshell, it is unknown what the causes are, but it is believed it is a combination of both environment and physical properties. However, some people have such strong physical tendency it is inevitable. One thing for sure, though, none of the "choose" to be gay, that is just retarded. Why would anyone want to choose to make their own life harder or sexually be with someone they aren't naturally attracted to?

It is a proven fact that SOME people are born "gay"
The female hormone is called Estrogen and the male hormone is called Testestosterone. Both males and females are born with both hormones. If a male has more estrogen then normal, chances are he is going to have more femanine qualaties etc, and possibly be gay and vice versa. THIS IS A SCIENTIFICIALLY PROVEN FACT! There is nothing anyone can say that makes this false, so with this said, and with the fact that god makes all humans in his image. Why would he knowingly make any child a homosexual, espicially knowing what he does to people who are homosexuals?

yeah your right. We are sometimes unintelligent when it comes to dealing with the sin of homosexuality or lesbianism. They have souls that needs salvation just like every other sinner. And whether they claim they were born gay or not, Jesus said Marvel not you must be born again. Lets try to win souls for the kingdom. We've driven enough people away from the church

what exactly is your question? I didn't get a chance to see the show, but being gay is definitely due to genetics/hormones....it is not at all a choice. most religious people are not homophobes, but there are, unfortunately, those extreme, right-wing bible thumper types who "use" religion to justify hating us. you can be both Christian and homosexual. I am, as well as all my gay/lesbian friends. being homosexual and being Christian are not mutually exclusive as many extremists insist.
