Whether you are "born gay" is up for debate as well. There are many instances of people "changing their minds" on their sexuality:

I vouched for this comment for a very specific reason: Civil rights of for the LGBT should not predicated on "being born that way", they should be predicated on the fact that it is an acceptable and dignified way to be human.

I think this comment is reasonable if they're simply saying that it's plausibly true that not everyone who is gay is born gay - some choose to live their life that way, others are born that way.

I think this is a fair read on sexuality especially given the "spectrum" understanding of sexual preferences. If you're born 50% interested in men and 50% interested in women, you can very well choose to live your life (and identify) as a straight person or a gay person (or a bisexual person!).

That doesn't mean that others aren't born with a 0/100 ratio (one way or the other), though.
