Um... science says that homosexuality is potentially caused by epigenetics, not genetics. That means that there isn't a "gay gene", but rather homosexuality is affected by the alteration of transcription of DNA to RNA, which will in turn will affect the translation from RNA to proteins. In addition, epigenetics is not necessarily heritable, so homosexuality can happen after birth.
You're all using the term "illness" in a subjective manner rather in a scientific context. A broad definition of illness is a condition that causes pain, distress, dysfunction, and/or death. No where in science and medical literature does it say that homosexuality is an illness because it has not been proven that it actually causes those symptoms.
