So I suspect it is the same for homosexuals. They were born homosexual.
They can't/don't want to change either.
We will disagree on this point, too.
Wow. Just incredible. What is your reasoning to disagree?
Babies don't have a sexual orientation. They are born with a gender.
Sexual orientation comes into play when our hormones begin to produce,
and we mature. How can a baby be born homosexual when the hormones that
influence our sexual drives don't begin producing until adolescence?

There have been some studies done that convinced researchers that homosexuality is actually due to the way the brain is organized and possibly linked to the hormones the fetus is exposed to during its development. There are actually some studies the hint at a genetic component. Humans have weird problems and develop strange abilities due to genetic mutations so why not homosexuality? In my lifetime, I observed the behavior of people I grew up with and knew some of them were different when we were children and sure enough, the guys I thought were effeminate, turned out to be homosexual by the time we reached adulthood. I remember a few were missing from a high school reunion because they died of AIDS. I've friends with both kinds of plumbing who are homosexual and they think differently than heterosexuals. It's obvious that their brains are wired differently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This part I find interesting:
"Findings from family and twin studies support a genetic contribution to
the development of sexual orientation in men. *However*, previous
studies have *yielded conflicting evidence* for linkage to chromosome Xq28.
The study is referencing the development of men solely linked to
conflicting evidence.
I think they're throwing out a hail Mary and coming up short. There is
still no proof anyone is born with a sexual orientation.
Adolescence has to happen first.
