reference to "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"?

Anyways, I believe that being 'gay' is determined by 2 factors

Born with the genetic genes, altering the infant's brain before birth(congenital) or while in the process of maturing (growing up).
You can consider that being gay is birth defect because studies shows that Lesbians and Homosexuals' brains are differently sized to heterosexuals of the same sex. It would appear therefore, that your assertion is correct, inject. However, I wouldn't classify it as a mental illness.

Is it a Choice?  Well, would you choose to be something people will ostracize,  even torture and kill over?  Some choice.

Science has not caught up with sexual preference.

I have no issues with gay men.  Why?  Well, let me put a different perspective on it:  The more gay men there are, the less competition for heterosexual women. 
Since I am attracted to heterosexual women, and gay men are automatically not, it betters my chances with women, when there are more gay men.  Most homophobes have yet to grasp this perspective.

If your parents were both straight, and made you, where does this gay gene come from?

If you're gay, shouldn't you be unable to pass such genes along...?

Gay isn't like an eye colour.
Not saying its a gene but parents have things passed down from there dad or what not etc etc.

I do not believe that preferences (such as favorite colors, foods) are genetically passed down, but they are formed due as a cognitive schema to find happiness. I also believe that gay is a preference, therefor it has developed as previously mentioned.

The following assumes it is a gene:
I know several gay people who came out AFTER having children, thus passing on any genes for homosexuality. A famous example of gay people having children is Freddie Mercury (Queen's singer).

Well, that is kinda like do fetishes pass down trough genes?
By this I mean body build fetishes, fat, skinny, tall, small and hair colour. most people genetically search for what is in an opposite spectrum of their own genes, as to get a larger gene pool. So being gay might possibly be the fact that you search for genetical atributes that can not be found in female specimins.
That is the only genetical reason I can find for being gay.

I think it is more of what someone said earlier about the experiences in life. I do not believe you are born gay, or straight but is felt somewhere in your teen years when you usually have a few things to put you in one way or the other. Not a simple choice, like some believe. Of course, if you are raised with the mindset of something being wrong, you probably won't do it.

recessive genes (like left-handedness, certain hair/eye colours) or a more than on gene which could lead to an increased likelihood of being gay, could be many genes that need one mutation that would lead to being gay.

much like you can have multiple colours in your hair, I for one have brown hair with red and blond highlights that only really show in the right light,  and height can't be defined as just tall/short nothing suggests that sexuality has to be one of two things.

I think it's a mix of genes and  and environmental factors after all there are gay people in the middle east and Africa where is it common for it to be illegal to be gay, why would someone chose to be gay if the could be arrested or killed? On the other hand from what i have read(admittedly not very much, most from high school history class textbooks and a little from things on the television so i could be very wrong) ancient Greeks saw bisexuality as being fairly normal and didn't have a problem with gay people so they had a high population of gay/bisexual people. From that it seems to me it has to be a bit of both, some people have no choice others may have a choice.

Sorry if this is bit confusing and scatter shot I've always been terrible at typing up my own thoughts though i can them write on paper more easily.

I think its from past experiences. Nobody becomes a murderer because they were born like that(unless they're insane/retarded). They experience things that make them do what they do.

This is like asking why you have a certain fetish

Agree.

I don't think fetishes pass down from genes. I can tell you my fetishes come from life experiences probably.
