Please note: Religion has no place here. I don't care if you want to wax theological...this isn't the place to do it. This is simply an idea of biological vs. environmental factors. If you inject theological beliefs, I will regard you as a complete and biased moron since such things have nothing to do with religion.

With that in mind...what do you think? Is homosexuality a result of brain activity (not necessarily genetic, but mental in nature) or is it the product of a personal choice? I've seen a few studies in psychology/human sexuality classes that suggest people of homosexual tendencies do, indeed, have different chemical signatures and different brainwave patterns that those of heterosexuals. Then again, I've also know quite a few people who have lived on one side of the fence and jumped over at some point in their life. Plus, I can see the psychology involved in an environmental explanation. But it's not up to me...it's up to you. Is homosexuality something you're born with or something acquired during your formative years?
