Additionally in this little training class I took they said that children who grow up in a home with domestic violence brains develop differently, and they all exhibit similar issues as they get older. So I wonder if being gay is not something along those same lines. It's just a thought.
I'm not sure why any of that matters as far as born gay or not.

I think the church could do a lot without changing doctrine. I don't think you'd see a person struggling with a coffee habit give the same emotion as a gay Mormon when it comes to feeling ostracized.
