"Until someone comes up with a reliable test to determine if a corpse was gay or straight, the burden of proof is on you."
No, it isn't. I'm not the one making claims about whether or not there is a genetic component. The burden of proof is on the person who makes a claim.
"Gay is a behavior, not a trait, and it is a sick behavior that needs to be changed."
So men who lust after men but do nothing about it are straight? Interesting.
The rest of that sentence is your opinion, and I disagree.

There is an element of choice, and an element that's obviously not choice. Lusting after the same sex obviously isn't a choice, but acting on that lust most certainly is. I'm inclined to believe that homosexuality is a mental disease that is very difficult to cure. There are plenty who just simply stop acting on their desire (for the same sex), but the underlying disease (of lusting after them) is still present.

Gay is a sick behavior that needs to be changed. Fortunately, it can be changed. You can claim it's my opinion and disagree, but you would be better served to listen and seek help.
Shalom.
