I don't think being gay is genetic. Seems like a choice to me, and encouraging it is a bad idea.

There is no proven biological causation of homosexuality, however, extensive research has established that it is not a choice and that discouraging it is a bad idea. For some people, the cause may be due to environmental factors, although the exact causes are still undetermined. Attempts to change one's sexual orientation rarely have a successful outcome and can lead to emotional distress. Therefore, promoting acceptance and understanding of the LGBT community and reducing stigma are important in ensuring that LGBT people are granted the same rights, freedoms and opportunities as everyone else.
