“Newt is riding the fence on this one.”
No, he isn’t. There is no evidence one way or the other concerning why people are gay. There are opinions galore, but no evidence.
I had gay patients in my counseling practice and some were satisfied with their state and some were not. It was not my business to push them one way or another, rather it was to help them come to a resolution with which they were satisfied and could lead a successful life.
I did not say that Newt was wrong, I simply suggested that he was not taking a strong position.
And I agree with your view.
Actually there is a lot of evidence about what causes homosexuality:

Without any reputable evidence, the entertainment culture, uneducated media, and sexual activists have seduced today’s teenagers, in particular, to believe that people are born homosexual.
However, science has found no biological basis for homosexuality, bisexuality, or transsexuality.
Study after study has found the “LGBT” lifestyle to be unhealthy, with the highest rate of sexually-transmitted diseases, and higher cancer rates and earlier deaths.
While all people are worthy and valuable, the fact is people are not “born this way,” as a popular song insists.
