I believe being gay is totally a choice, and I see no logical reason why it wouldn't be. Everyone is more or less bisexual to some degree or other. The only thing you need to do to become gay is to explore same sex often enough, that it becomes pleasing for you.

Straight people are straight, because they decide not to explore that path. The reason they don't explore it, is normally either because of social and cultural reason or for things like religious reasons.

I think the idea of a gay gene is silly. If a person is gay, and they can't help but being gay, its just because they are hooked on being gay. If a person says they can't stop them self from eating potato chips, my first instinct isn't there must be a potato chip eating gene. That is just silly. Clearly they just are hooked on eating them! Either they just really enjoy them, or because of some social mental pressure that is causing stress and making them eat to forget their problem. Though any of that can imply to anything, including who you have sex with.
I disagree that recognizing someone as being attractive prooves that someone has some small sexual attraction towards them.

I could be castrated, have all my sexual centers of my brain removed, and still acknowledge that by societal standards one person is attractive and another is not. I may also be negatively predisposed to someone I don't know because they are considered 'ugly' and I may subconcioussly like someone more because they look nice, (whether male or femal.) This is not culture repressing sexuality but just training us in what looks are ideal.

Does that mean judges at dog shows feel bestial attractions because they find one one dogs features more pleasing than another dog?
