I hope one day we will, but sometimes I hope we don't in-case it drives some people to try and find a "cure" for us
It's almost like asking - what causes addiction? Do we know? Well we supposedly think that we do, but then why don't we approach homosexuality in a similar way - positive re-enforcement can allow us to be lured into addictive behaviours - even ones that are really bad for us and are recognized diseases/disorders. Have you ever asked a cutter why they cut and why they don't just stop?
I think at the end of the day people need to be happy with who they are - and if they're so insecure that they need to identify themselves by their sexuality - "I'm a homosexual this is who I am" - then it does fall short. If a homosexual was not homosexual, would they be the same person - who would they be - what would define them, and why did they want to identify themselves by their sexuality. Maybe you want to play the race card? I know people like that - oh hell do I know people like that. "Did you see that fucking Indian driving like this is his fucking country - does his fucking skin look white to you Daniel? Who the fuck let his lazy lying criminal Indian ass into the country." Hey fuckwit - if you weren't white would you still be the same person or someone completely different? If you were Indian would that make you a fucking convict criminal too? I digress of course.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
