Yes I do.
Scientific researchers who specialize in human sexuality have shown that homosexuality is linked to biology and genetics.
An October 2004 scientific research publication stated that scientists have found that women tend to have more children when they inherit the same genetic factors linked to homosexuality in men & that this fertility boost more than compensates for the lack of offspring fathered by gay men and keeps the “gay” genetic factors in circulation; a 2005 study reported genetic scans showing a clustering of the same genetic pattern among gay men on three chromosomes; a study published in Human Genetics in February 2006 found extreme differences in X chromosome inactivation in mothers of gay sons and mothers whose sons were not gay; and another 2006 scientific study found that a man's likelihood of being gay rises with the number of older biological brothers even if gay men were raised away from their biological families and when the researcher was asked if gay younger brothers and older brothers don't have the same home environments what they had in common he replied "They shared the same uterus, the same womb, the same mother."

I believe that homosexuality is something you are born with, yes. It's obviously not a choice, and it's not caused by upbringing (otherwise my brother and sister would both be gay too, or I would be straight). I don't think it's genetic though, otherwise the 'gay gene' would have died out a long time ago because gay people wouldn't be reproducing. There's a theory that states that everyone has the potential to be at least bi, it's just that some people are more prone to it or more open to it than others. I don't know what causes it though, that's just how it is.

If people were born Gay then God would've added something in the bible about adam and steve..Im not bashing Gay people or saying that they are all going to hell because that's not for me to decide. God is who we all have to face when it all comes down to it. Being gay is like lying or stealing or murdering..are we all born to lie? No it comes with the enviorment..or stealing we are not born to steal..so I believe the answer is No being Gay is a choice..and how would you find a 'gay' gene? how would you tell if there really was one??

Yes, speaking from experience, people are born LGBT. It's not a choice. When you think about it, who in their right mind would choose to be persecuted by society?

Yes, everyone who is gay is born this gay. It's just a matter of when we discover it.

Apparently so. That is, all people who are gay were born that way.
