Both Mikado and Snowy have brought up good points but I have a few more things to add:

1. You're implying that if homosexuality has a genetic component, it can't be influenced by our choices. In reality your orientation is influenced by cumulative experiences. Sometimes that's past sexual experiences. Sometimes it's things in your child hood. Sometimes it's simply how certain terms like 'sexual orientation' or 'gender' are defined or treated in a particular society. Obviously all these things can and do change. That does not imply however that you can just decide to develop an attraction to the same sex overnight.

2. Homosexuality wasn't even a coherent concept in the West until basically the 19th century and even now there's quite a bit of disagreement over what exactly being 'gay' means. Plenty of people will deny bisexuals exist and/or lump in anyone whose had a homosexual experience (particularly with a man) as automatically gay for example. Or claim that if you're on 'top' during a homosexual act, then you're not really gay. Or claim that if you have a homosexual experience in certain contexts (military, school, prison, whatever) then you're not really gay. And then of course there are all the issues associated with inter-sex and trans-gender people.

Before anyone says it’s impossible, I’ve made it all 22.5 years of life this far without committing a sex act, including making out and masturbation.

Believe me, nobody is surprised.

Bro, sarcasm aside I don't actually hate you but uh.. It's a tad hard to take anything abstinence related seriously as a solution. Most people tend to go a tad stir crazy trying to live up to that. Nobody wants to wind up like Neil Horsley or Jonathan Krohn.

Dude, if you go to parties as the only sober one and you can't ever get a girl, then you're either disgustingly ugly, gay, autistic, your dick doesn't work, or your balls haven't dropped.

Idk, some girls are into that, especially if their daddy's name is Schmitz.

Democrat: genetic

Meaning it comes from God, so trying to suppress it is in the sin, not acting on it.

Nice logic ya got there Zach.
