I mean… that is the implication. What I said was, “it is clearly both.” They ARE born different, and their life has allowed them to figure out how they are different and hopefully explore it in healthy ways for those that openly identify.
Any direct, unqualified statement of, “you are not born different” is directly and completely wrong.
No. I’m not aware of any evidence that one is born with the propensity to be LGBT. It’s well-known that it’s not a choice, but that is not the same as saying that you’re genetically predetermined to be LGBT. Twin studies disprove that.
My understanding is that the current prevailing belief among psychologists is that sexual orientation develops during adolescence, and is either random or influenced in some way by one’s sexual exposure, but not necessarily in any obviously deterministic way.

No, you’re just being an ignorant fool with that one. There would be no people so closeted that they hate themselves and don’t know why if there were no genetic inclinations.
I think you’re just being an ignorant fool. People are closeted and hate themselves because there is no choice to not be LGBT. Do you disagree with this? Do you think it’s a choice? Newsflash: it’s not.
Something can be both not a choice and not genetic.
