"so why then is he gay?.. was he born gay?..did he ever think he would have been born if he had gay parents?. Its one thing not knowing what is right and its totally something else knowing what is right and not doing it.
even animals know better when it comes to sexual preferences. ...."
[face/palm slap...]
Ah, Bioflex, dude, since you're only 22 years old, and probably home-schooled, let me explain a couple of things to you...
First of all, nearly ALL homosexuals ARE BORN with the inclination towards homosexuality. That's why they end up as homosexuals...
A study done of German boys born before, during, and after World War II, showed that the greatest incidence of homosexuality occurred in those born during the period of the highest stress - the war years and the lean years immediately afterwards...
"For years now we have been researching possible causes of homosexuality, and there are a wide range of theories varying from it is a lifestyle choice, to it is a genetic trait, and everything in between. One theory that has been gaining attention in the field of sexual orientation research is that prenatal stress, stress suffered by the pregnant mother, is a possible cause of homosexuality in males.
While everyday stressors, like losing your keys or waiting in line at the DMV, are most likely not severe enough to cause a change in the prenatal environment of a fetus, the research into the relationship between prenatal stress and male homosexuality, especially in our furry friends, the laboratory mice, has found a strong correlation between the two.
Early experiments led by G. Dörner, conducted on rats revealed that homosexual tendencies, sexual arousal by partners of the same sex, was exhibited by male rats who had been exposed to an androgen deficiency during perinatal sexual differentiation of the brain, even though normal to high levels of androgen were present in adult stages. If androgen deficiency is not induced, it can often be found in male rat fetuses and newborns of stressed mothers (Dörner 1983).
These findings led Dörner to question whether extreme stress experienced by pregnant humans would also lead to homosexuality in their male offspring. So, he studied the frequency of homosexuality in males born in Germany before, during and after World War II. Out of 865 homosexual males studied, significantly more were of them were born between the critical period of the war ("between 1941 and 1947- with a maximum in 1944-1945") than in the years before or after the "critical period" (Dörner 1983). These findings spurred a second study by Dörner, which yielded similar results. In this second study, Dörner used a sample of 100 bi- or homosexual men and 100 heterosexual men. In turn, each was asked about possible stressful life events that took place in his mother's life during her pregnancy with him. The findings were as follows:
1. "Out of 100 heterosexual males only 6 heterosexuals reported on moderate stressful events that have occurred in their prenatal life, while none of them described severe stressful events in prenatal life, even after consulting their parents.
2. Out of 40 bisexual men 10 bisexuals (=25%) described moderate and 6 bisexuals (=15%) even severe stressful events that have occurred in prenatal life.
3. Out of 60 homosexual men 20 homosexuals (=33.3%) reported on moderate and 21 homosexuals (=35%) even on severe stressful events that have occurred during their prenatal life. (Dörner 1983)"
These findings indicate that there is a correlation between prenatal stress and bi- or homosexuality in males. Dörner acknowledges that errors can be attributed to a restrospective study, such as this one, and prospective studies should be conducted in the future to further supplement his findings. ..."

Secondly, gay couples are "producing" children, often with a surrogate mother or surrogate father [as in the case of a lesbian couple], so your comment, "did he ever think he would have been born if he had gay parents...?"
Ahhh.................. YES.......!
As to your third premise, that animals "know better" than to engage in homosexual sex;....
Bruddah, apparently you've never been on a farm... Or a ranch...
As a kid, I watched many a female cow mount another cow in the same manner as a bull. You can see this behavior in dogs, too - male dogs often mount other male dogs. If I remember correctly, even the sheep engaged in homosexual behavior!!
In fact, there's an excellent book out on the subject of homosexuality among wild animals in nature...

And here's a National Geographic article on the subject...

So much for your erroneous fundamentalist viewpoint...
