Being ‘born’ homosexual is a medical impossibility unless there is a specific gene causing it.

There are lots of environmental causes for congenital conditions. What if the hormone balance in the mother is wrong? Not enough vitamins? Illness during pregnancy?

It's sin, period. You really CAN over-think these things, you know.

Provide proof of such allegations to back up such a claim, and yes, I’ve heard of these speculations many times.

That's the one this debate always causes me to think about. It's my understanding that quite a few things can go wrong during that nine month gestation period.

Physical defects such as club feet or a hair lip, or hermaphradites, and others, and even some problems of brain development. Are there genes for those defects, or are they developmental problems of the fetus?

I'm not certain, but I think the nine month gestation period is a possibility for various developmental problems, but it never seems to be mentioned in the gay debate one way or the other.
