No.

Also I don't believe in the gay gene. I don't believe in ppl being born gay, I think that millions of controlable and uncontrolable events during the development of a child is what molds the adult he will become, and that includes his sexual orientation. But that is a other debate :P

That makes ZERO logical sense when you look at what a human body does when it sees a person you are physically attacted to. Its 100% chemical and physical. Its based on your hormones and chemical balances... ie. the genetic make up of your body. 

You don't control that with your mind. Ask anyone that is an adult and gay, "where you born gay or chose it?". 100% will say born. They'll remember many parts of childhood where they just liked the same sex but pushed it away due to society.

I agree that genetics play a big part, but I think so does the subconsciousness, which might be why often people chose partners that resemble their own parents in behavior and it makes sense as it's easier to create a relationship to somebody you subconsciously feel close to (and it's easier to create a relationship to somebody you feel attracted to due to genetic aspects). There might be a tiny bit of consicousness involved aswell, although maybe not in all cases.
