I just want to point out the fact that someone wasn't "born" a certain way, really has nothing to do with whether there is a choice involved with their behavior at a later date. The role of genetics in human behavior is just a small part of a much bigger issue about Free Will.
Considering modern neuroscience has shown that we make decisions before we even think about them; it seems completely unjustified to get behind this magical free will concept where everyone has complete control over all (most, or even any) of the choices they make in life.

I honestly don't believe its a choice. Humans, down to you and I, can't consciously choose what we find attractive. I can't stop and think to myself, that 350lb chick with the lazy eye crazy hair misshaped boobs flat ass lisp broken teeth and horrible body order is hot. No matter how hard I try i won't be able to convince myself thats hot, if it is to you thats great fat ugly chicks need love to but its not for me.
In saying such I don't believe no matter how hard I try I could choose to be a true homosexual. I can choose to physically have sex with a man that doesn't mean im attracted to him or the idea, it just means that i have control over my physical self.
