So... I've known these identical twins for a while, one gay, one straight. I now know what to think, thanks to you :)

I am confused. Identical twins do not suggest that being gay is not inherent to the individual. It strongly suggests that there is no genetic predisposition, but it does not suggest homosexuality is not inherent. A child in the womb does not receive the same amount of nutrients, hormones, or epigenetic encoding. The majority of people that study homosexuality believe that epigenetic factors have a key role in the processes. There still is no choice by the individual. However, the pictures stance still stands.

Isn't this the same argument some theists use? "It doesn't disprove XX".

There still is no choice by the individual.

This is silly to say. There's not enough evidence to claim it's not a choice so there's not enough evidence to say this line.

I'm not saying that it isn't in someway inherent, but it is pretty solid evidence against it being genetic (though doesn't exclusive rule out a genetic predisposition).
