Who cares? Why would it matter to me if gays were born that way or if they somehow "learned" it or it was a virus? Why should I care what other people like so much?
I'd say its unlikely.
1. Two gays can't reproduce.
2. No "gay gene" has been found, despite millions in research to find it.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

This issue is directly related to gay's assertion of normal, healthy, etc., and their subsequent demand for equal rights. If homosexuality is a choice, or a sickness, the claim for equal status, for something like marriage, for example, flies out the window faster than a bee in summer.
Most babies are not born with beards.
Some babies do turn into adults who then do posses the ability to grow facial hair.
This is very likely tied in some way to the sexual maturation process.
What exactly is it one would do to a child to "turn" them gay?
If it were possible you would think sexual abuse would do this huh?
There are many cases where a boy child is sexually abused by say their priest or whatever and remained hertosexual.
This turned them gay idea is shear stupidity.
All normal human beings are born with hair, and the vast majority of mature males are able to grow beards. Piss-poor analogy by truthmatters/desh.

Do we keep two handicapped people from being married ?
What if they are at fault for their own injury that made them handicapped?
The equal status claim is that they are Americans and should not have the right to marry WHOEVER they want limmited.
Who the hell are you to tell some people in the next town who they can tie their lives too?
It does not effect you in the least and its NONE of your business.
Sexual preference has to do with the brain being feminine or masculine in structure, which is dependant on intrauterine hormone levels at certain time in the gestation process. So it's biological, and it's genetic to the extent that genes influence hormone levels.
Another piss-poor analogy
We keep handicapped people from doing what would harm society. For example, we don't let the blind drive cars.
Marriage is a priveledge, not a right, and if you are not qualified for it then a civilized society should not allow it.
Most Americans say that gay marriage will have a negative impact on traditional marriage; a smaller minority disagree. I am in the former, and you are in the latter.
This is an interesting thread...argue some more!
“I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it.”
What is wrong with gay marriage? It promotes family values and (the best argument) the government shouldn't be involved in marriage, anyway.
