Ted, And why is that?

Because it's ultimately dehumanizing. This isn't about believing that the sun revolves around the earth. It's about who we are as a human race, and whether we have any free will at all, or whether we'll forever be a slave to genetics and Nietzsche's uber-man.

I see........you remember growing up and reaching a point where you said to yourself.......I can be straight or gay. Which do I want to be?

I remember growing up trying to be strong and athletic, but realizing that I just don't have the natural ability. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't continue to stay physically fit. The latter is my choice; the former is my genetics.

Same thing with sexuality. I don't think the gay gene is as "black-n-white" as you make it out to be. Nor is the choice to be straight or gay as clear cut as you portray it for argument. In fact, for many homosexuals, they've started out hetero, then decided later on to give into their homo desires. Some even flip back-n-forth with the wind. Look at Anne Heche.
