Default Is there a Gay gene?

Quote:
"Since sexual orientation is such a complex trait, we're never going to find any one gene that determines whether someone is gay or not," says Mustanski. "It's going to be a combination of various genes acting together as well as possibly interacting with environmental influences."

Previous studies in male twins have suggested that between 40%-60% of the variability in sexual orientation is due to genes. The rest is thought to be due to environment and possibly other biologic but nongenetic causes.

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?
