Um, it is in no such thing. Genes only *influence* your decisions -- you
still have to actually decide to live a certain way. And studies do
indicate that genes influence a lot of things, from suicidal tendencies,
to proclivities for crime or violence, to sexual orientation, etc.
As for people who have "left this lifestyle" -- it is open to question how
many of them were gay, per se, and how many were closer to "bisexual" on
the scale. A couple of years ago, I interviewed Joe Dallas, one of the
more prominent ex-gays out there (actually, he's an ex-ex-ex-gay, having
come out of the lifestyle twice, having lapsed back into it after the
first time, IIRC), and he admitted he may have been closer to "bisexual".
