Very few people that are a member/part of/believe in *Whatever* type of organization/group/religion believe that catching flak for being in said group is because there is a problem with themselves as people. Ask just about anyone who is subjected to this kind of negative attention and they'll tell you, the world has a problem with them. Your original post about "No one would want to be gay because they are exposed to a lot of discrimination" is flawed. Obviously there are people that want to be gay regardless of the discrimination that comes with.

If you think doing/loving guys is weird and would never do such, then congratulations, you are straight. If you enjoy doing/loving guys, then your gay. If you enjoy doing/loving guys and girls, then you are bisexual, it really is a choice for you, and you're one of the main reasons that AIDS is found among straight people(bastards).

Where the hell did that come from? Do you reply with something that has nothing to do with the quote for fun?

Like virtually every other behavior, it's heavily influenced by environment and experience. I doubt you'll find anyone who choose to be shy or quick tempered but those are both behaviors that were learned and became apart of that person. Sexual behavior is learned just like any other and I don't see why it's such a stretch to think that life experiences and environment could push someone towards being gay.
As much as I believe in the power of genetics, I've yet to see any definitive work published on a specific DNA sequence that is present in gays and not in straights. Barring that, I don't see any support for an argument based on genetic causes. I would wager that there is probably some sort of possible genetic predisposition towards it, just as there might be towards any other behavior. However, just as any other genetic predisposition does not guarantee any kind of behavioral out come, I would also wager that environment and experience plays a role a hundred times greater than any genetic factors.
