   As I recall, the research found that the vast majority of lesbians had
abnormally high testasterone levels for women, and the vast majority of gays
had abnormally low levels for men.

  However, saying that they therefore become gay is like saying that "Oh,
well that guy just killed 20 people because his dad molested him when he was
nine, so its really not his fault." Yes, to a certain extent its true, but
in a free society, someone, or some entity (such as a business or a
government) must be responsible for every action and condition that occurs.
In effect, what I'm saying is that because as a society we do not believe
in destiny, homosexuals have a choice whether or not they are homosexual, by 
definition.
