Unless our mental capacities are SO damaged, by either birthing issues, trauma to the head or similar impairments, I plan to show how sexual preference is always a choice.
I have never met a human being that had a perfect disposition towards anything in particular, as we are not robots, without reason and conscience. While it it most certainly true our brains may favor a certain flavor, and certain color, a certain partner, it is never so absolute that a choice is not made.
History has taught us that Heterosexuals have been the norm through most civilization, so it would be easy to see why there exists an inclination to call Hetero views the "norm".
However, when we look at the prevailing rulers of land, and rulers of thought, we begin to understand why it was the norm. It is difficult to imagine the prevailing heterosexual species was a product mostly from biology and not from social pressure.
Example, it is not natural for a white child to grow up hating a black child, but will indeed feel truly natural if the child is conditioned to hate black people from inception. If that happened enough it would seem normal to hate black people. Of course that is just silly to think that is biological, because we know it is entirely a result of conditioning.
However, what this black and white example does show is we as humans have the capacity to become such a creature to hate black people, or really become just about anything we want if conditioned the right way.
Thus it should be safe to conclude, human beings have dispositions that lean one way or the other on a great many matters, from what foods they like to what sexual partners they prefer. It is not enough though to conclude the disposition is entirely at work in these choices though. Life teaches us often disposition can change, and if it can change so readily, it can't be an independent indicator on matters such as sexual preferences.
No, the reality is we have to make choices based on our dispositions. If at times we find the same sex attractive, it merely means we have the capacity in our minds to carry out that attraction. Usually once carried out, we stamp that in our minds as "this is me", when what it really is, is "this is me for now". Humans have the unique ability to change and choose these types of lifestyles, and in my personal opinion trying to determine if people are born hetero or homo sexual only dilutes and diminishes the abstract and wonderful creatures that we really are.
In conclusion, I wonder greatly if the argument for being born gay or not, has more to do with agendas then really finding out the truth to our sexual natures as human beings.
