homosexuality I believe is a nurture, not nature, thing. Many biologists and psychologists agree with me, and against the "gay gene" theory, with thousands of studies to back it up. I will note that scientifically speaking the opposing view does not have the enormous amount of evidence.
If we apply this assumption, then homosexuals (and humanity in general) were far better off when they were forced to conceal their activities. By making it acceptable, we will only increase the population of proclaimed homosexuals.

I'm pretty sure you meant to say that you agree with them, blindly.
The "gay gene" is old news. Here are some updates for you from "the scientific community"
There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles.
And "
There are numerous theories about the origins of a person’s sexual orientation. Most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors. In most people, sexual orientation is shaped at an early age. There is also considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person’s sexuality.
Open your mind and recognize that there are probably many reasons for a person’s sexual orientation, and the reasons may be different for different people.
