Let's talk about the biology of homosexuality and just go with me a second on this one, ok?  Who cares if it's genetic or not?  Seriously.  There's no gay gene like you're some kind of fabulous X-Man, period.  But so what?  Why is the idea of choice such a dirty word?  Isn't loving someone and being attracted to them and choosing to be in a relationship more noble than the idea of some collection of enzymes that makes you unchangably who you are?  I think so.  I get that the idea of "Born This Way" goes to personal freedom and identity but we all choose to be who and what we want to be and I think that's the real way to live, no matter what you're made of.  I think the real trap with the whole "science says I'm gay" is that a) there's no science to back it up and b) even if there was it's just creating a false sub-species that idiots can feel free to discriminate against.  Your genetics don't earn you your human rights, at least not on this side of the globe in the last 50 years.  Should we let people with Huntington's get married?  I don't want them hemophiliacs gettin' wed!  Do I have a gene that makes me attracted to crazy chicks?  Can I get gene therapy for that?  Face it, gays.  There's no disorder, there's no cure.  You are doomed to be awesome and free.
