This is an example of the phenomenon that if something is said often enough
it becomes "truth". To say that people are born with a certain type of
sexual orientation is to make a socio/political statement rather than a
statement of biological fact. There is NOTHING that proves this
proposition. On the other hand, there may be things consistent with the
proposition, as well as things inconsistent with it. Neither of these
represents proof of it.
