It's quite probable that Homosexuality and Bisexuality comes from a multitude of sources. The sense I get (from reading occasional articles on the subject- I could be wrong) is that some of it is genetic, some of it is natal, and some of it may be due to environmental factors. That isn't to say that these orientations are necessarily a choice per se- but they may rely on a variety of factors, some of which may kick in past birth. Probably most gays were attracted to the same sex from the very beginning- that's certainly been my personal experience.
In any case, I think that the whole "born this way" argument is an effective rhetorical strategy, but we shouldn't internalize it and criticize people whose experience doesn't conform to it.
