re: Is there scientific evidence that some people are born gay?

You could substitute literally dozens of behaviors and say the same thing.

Could you list some? You've made an interesting point.

We don't have to rely solely on genetics as the only scientific evidence that homosexuality is natural, meaning a product of nature in this context.

While the current research has shifted to epigenetics, the social sciences and demographics provide evidence as well.

For each of us, an individual sexual orientation is constructed during our developmental years. This sexual orientation is based upon proclivities that have been set in motion during our gestation period. While social pressures can cause an individual to sublimate their orientation, this is harmful in the long run not only to the person but also to his or her mate and offspring.

All too often, a person will marry someone of the opposite sex and have children, all the while struggling with his or her desires for a same-sex relationship. Ultimately, nature will prevail and the family is torn asunder.

Also, demographic studies show that homosexuals are born into every culture. There are no exceptions. Some very oppressive cultures prevent many people from expressing their natural preferences, but when allowed to by society, gay people emerge and join in contributing to its overall health.
