Can you show me the scientific study that shows that homosexuality is 100% genetic and something people are born with?

There isn't one.

I'm one that believes that homosexuality isn't a choice, its something thats determined by genetic factors, hormonal changes in the womb and after, and outside environmental sources. Maybe its over use of bottled water in feeding as a child, IDK.

But to say that 100% without a shadow of a doubt that homosexuality is something people are born with is just wrong. That doesn't make it a choice, please don't take that the wrong way. As I said, I'm for gay marriage, I don't think there is anything wrong with homosexuals, and I don't really care what they do with their lives. But its not known what the cause of homosexuality is yet, and anyone who says that they know, isn't acknowledging fact.

A plug for every socket?

Since it's not a choice the idea/saying of folk being born with it seems to be fitting. Very little is 100% genetic. Most things are multi-factorial. With that said, my adopted brother looked up his bio family a few years ago and found that his dad is bi, and a brother and uncle are gay. That's pretty interesting.

Great literary, fashion, musical and artistic sensibilities. Homosexuals are not different then heterosexual people in their ability to contribute to society in a positive way. However the music, fashion, literary and artistic industries have shown less of a bias in terms of accepting the homosexuals.

Cool, I hope they submit to a study. It could help a lot.

I want the reasons for homosexuality to be discovered, so that all of the people screaming its a choice can finally shut up.

I know its not a choice, its from various factors starting from before birth and after. But some people won't be satisfied until its proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Some folks won't be satisfied regardless of whats found.
