I'll ignore the "studid" remark, because I don't want a flame war. Besides, I might have started it by using the term "scientific illiteracy."

If you look at my statement and yours, you wil see that they are not actually incompatible: note the difference between conclusively establishing X and providing evidence for X. And even if testimony could - and it cannot - establish the cause of homosexuality for a given individual, that testimony would not apply to another homosexual.

In response to somebody else, there are hardly any conditions that are %100 genetic. Almost all are a caused by combination of genetic and environmental or behavioral factors, e.g., a genetic predispostion for diabetes plus obesity may cause diabetes in an individual.
While this is not something I study, I'd be suprised to find any credible person claiming that a complex condition like homosexuality is %100 genetic.

Homosexuals claim exactly that: that homosexuality is 100% genetic. But then they are not very credible, because there is zero real scientific evidence supporting their assertions.

I had the misfortune to be on a general message boards, which homosexuals were attempting to hijack to spread their agenda, so I learned more than I ever wanted to and did a lot of research. Even studies that were attempting to show genetic link couldn't.

The "they are born that way" argument is just an excuse, so homosexuals can avoid taking responsibility for their actions.

a genetic predispostion

There's no genetic predispostion for behaviors, did you bump your head before you wrote this?
