In biology/anatomy, the concept of "Structure = Function" is key to understanding how things in the human body work. This is very general, but many studies have found differences in the brain structure of homosexual men when compared to heterosexual men. Homosexual men GENERALLY have a brain that is structurally more like a female's brain than a heterosexual man's brain. My biology teacher, who I find to be an very smart man (he's very well respected in the scientific community, too) even taught us about how differences in hypothamalus size in heterosexual men and homosexual men cause differences in hormones and sexual orientation (The homosexual made had a larger node in their hypothalamus, much like females when compared to heterosexual men). I know it's Wikipedia, but this article is a good read if you want to know more.
So because some guys have less testosterone and are thus predisposed to a slightly more effeminate nature, they are now unequivocally born gay? Uh...no.
People that take illegal drugs for a while experience a change in their brain chemistry. Does that change then make the taking of those illegal substances no longer a choice? No, it doesn't.
There is completely and blatantly no evidence that homosexuality isn't a choice. It is definitely and totally a choice. Some men may be more feminine than society wants to accept, but that doesn't make them gay, they choose that lifestyle. Some women may be more masculine than is socially acceptable, but deciding to have sex with only women is absolutely their choice.
