I didn't say that it was entirely a choice for everyone, I just said in far more cases than what people admit to. I also don't understand why people think it's appealing to smoke or drink alcohol, or pay $1000 for "pop art" that could be done by a 2 year old, or why some people say 2 as the answer to the square root of 4, when it's actually +2 and -2, but I'd hardly rank any of those as a genetic predisposition. It's a choice they made for some reason, and I can only assume it's because they haven't actually considered all the points that I have.

 Thats an interesting idea if not overly arrogant. How then do you explain homosexuality in non-sentient beings?

That's an interesting question, if not overly insulting. Are you implying that the sexual activity of the gay community, or of the human race as a whole, is nothing more than that of an animal? The whole issue that sets us above animals is not communication or the use of tools, many cases have been found where animals already have this, what sets us apart is our ability to not be slaves to instinct. We CAN CHOOSE to NOT HAVE SEX.

Ultimately, animals do NOT have a choice BECAUSE they are ANIMALS, the human gay community doesn't really have this excuse to fall back on. They have choice simply by being human.
Animals are also known to mount entirely different species and inanimate objects when a candidate from their own species isn't present when their instinct to mate hits them. Are you saying beastiality should be accepted and supported among humans because they apparently don't have a choice?

(No, I am not drawing an equivalence between homosexuality and beastiality, but merely the equivalence between using animals in those arguments)
