I think you are confusing the logic. I am not saying that since there is no evidence to suggest a choice, ergo it must be inherent. What I am saying is that scientists think it is inherent and are currently looking for compelling evidence on a candidate cause.

If you take any trait that is visually inconspicuous, e.g. kindness or mental health, you are going to get uncertainty. The vast majority of people that are depressed have a dopamine imbalance. Does every depressed person have a dopamine imbalance, no. Does every homosexual have the same candidate cause, no. Sexuality is a very complicated thing. One cannot pretend it is only biological factors with zero influence of social factors. However, this does remotely suggest that the average homosexual made an active choice to be one.

There's not enough evidence to claim it's not a choice

Really? Do you think that all the gay bashing pastors and politicians caught in homosexual acts CHOSE to perform those acts? Or were they driven by their instincts, against their better judgement, even in the face of what getting caught would mean?

I don't need evidence to claim it's not a choice. You need evidence to claim it is a choice.
