What happens if someone has such a genetic makeup but due to 'possibly other biologic but nongenetic causes' is not gay ... must that someone accept that he/she is gay and embrace homosexual behavior, because obviously 'choice' is not a variable?
What people mean by "biologic but non-genetic causes" is the effects of infections and chemical exposures (in utero or after birth) as well as variations in autoimmunity that are not inherited. Just because something is non-genetic doesn't mean it's a choice. I'm not saying being gay is never a choice -- there are clearly some switch hitters out there.
