Do you have anything which shows that people are born gay (a term which you haven't yet defined BTW)?

As far as scientific studies on if homosexuality is a choice or not, you could go seek those out yourself. I think it's irrelevant if it was a choice, so I just assume he's telling the truth with his personal testimony. If someone said they were born with a hatred of homosexuals I'd first tell them they must be a natural asshole. Of course they must suppress the predisposition. The difference between the two situations is that homosexuality does not hurt anyone. Violence obviously does. A first grader could've seen that...That first grader would presumably then have started a debate on the harm principle, rather than on inborn tendencies.
