We are all born blank slates, there are genetics that indirectly influence your sexual orientation among other things, such as an individuals born with a micro penis, lower testosterone or maybe a more curious mind, but your sexual orientation at the end of the day is mainly dictated by nurture and life experiences. Parental influence is huge, as is the environment.

Prove it.

Prove what? This is so basic I feel stupid even having to explain it. Do you think people are born deeply religious or are they made so through childhood "conditioning"? Let me give an example from my personal life. I work night shifts so I rarely see my son and wife. My son(3) spends most of his time with his mom. When his mom is cleaning he wants to join in and clean. When she is putting on lipstick/makeup, he wants to play with her cosmetics. He is also scaredy-cat just like his mom and will cry easily. Am I suppose to suspect that my son was somehow born gay or feminine? Or that the fact that he spends so much time with his mom is influencing him? It doesn't take a science article to let me figure out which is the correct answer. If you can't see it then there is no more point to this conversation.

Edit: One last thing. No matter what your genetics are, sexual orientation for humans is more mental than physical. I personally know a guy who was born without a penis. He didnt even have a hole to piss from. He had to tube linked straight to his bladder so he could pee. Long story short, the guy is straight, even without a penis he is still attracted to women. Maybe this isn't the best example but my point is that any girl no matter what her genetics can be attracted to the same sex and the same applies to guys. Humans have mostly overcome things like instinct through intelligence and the ability to release sexual tension by masturbation etc....
