But MY PROBLEM: as a naturalist, is that I totally fail to see how it is possible to be 'born' gay as many claim. I am definitely on the outside looking in on the issue, but I feel people aquire (lack of a better word) this feeling at some point in their life. A person's natural instinct is to desire the opposite sex, its just a matter of science, and I feel a person has to go through something after they are born to change this.
I am not doubting the fact that people really are truly gay, I'm just doubting the fact that they were born that way.

I dunno... I'm pretty sure if there is some genetic "setting" that predisposes people to be attracted to the opposite gender (which is both obvious and necessary for survival of the species) then it stands to reason that there could be a "malfunction" (for lack of a better, less offensive word) in that process that has more to do with biology than it does with anything else.
If you don't deny the fact that there is an abundance of biological anomalies, flaws, and mutations (which there are) regarding every aspect of human beings then you can't rightly deny the possibility that if sexual attraction is a biological mechanism, that it can't "malfunction" biologically.
Assuming that homosexuality is strictly a social/environmental construct is to contradict the fact that sexuality is biological to begin with.
