I actually used to be on the fence about "born this way" because if you look at the function of nature, males & females need to get together to procreate and spread our species. So at that time, I wasn't buying it.

Then I (and no, I don't have any sources) read around and listened to a couple of people on NPR and there's an argument to be made about genetic variations and possibly a population control safeguard where a certain percentage of the population is "discouraged" from procreating and therefore attracted to the same sex.

The point is, the arguments made sense and made me rethink my opinion. I think there is a percentage of the population that, for whatever reason, is born predisposed to preferring the same sex.

I like the old Socratic method of questioning "When did you choose to be straight then?" As a straight male I cannot fathom being gay, or making that "choice." Just seems natural to me that people that are gay were born with different preferences than me.
