You don't understand human sexuality. I understand homosexuality scares people like you because it should cause you to rethink how you view the world. Gay people are capable of having sex and procreating. We do it all of the time. Straight men all around the world have been known to have sex with other men. The male prostitutes of thailand, many married to women, are a prime example.
A genetic cause for homosexuality is not scientifically possible. A homosexuality gene, if it existed, would quickly die out. However, it gradually becomes clear that liberals and progressives are poorly-educated about science. They passionately believe in evolution, yet they don't understand it..
Homosexual activists totally ignore the role that sexuality plays in having children and the fact that one's genes can only be passed on if they have children. A gene determining homosexuality is fundamentality different from hair color, eye color, height, skin color, etc. If there were a gene that reduced fertility by 80% to 90%, that ancestral line would quickly die out.
According to the Hypothesis of Evolution, every detail of a living specimen must have started somewhere at some time. Life began as a single-cell organism, they say. But genetic mutation (errors) created variations. Helpful mutations survived and persisted because the variation was 'better' than the previous model. Unhelpful mutations cause that line to die out.
Advocates of the idea that homosexuals are just born that way cannot wrap their head around the teaching of evolution (which they subscribe to) that every detail about human beings had to start somewhere. They debate this topic as if a homosexual gene came out of nowhere. (Note that most 'homosexual activists' are themselves not homosexual, but simply enemies of Christianity hijacking the conversation.)..
So it might take as long as a thousand years (20 to 25 generations) for the gene to die out. But homosexuality would be steadily decreasing in frequency and would eventually become extinct. And that ignores the fact that the gene could never become widespread to start with."
Homosexuals are not born that way. Homosexuality results from emotional and psychological development. It is not “a choice” so much as hundreds of little choices growing up, including choosing how to react to various incidents, relationships and opportunities. Many little choices create circumstances that reinforce sexual feelings. The resulting habits – fueled by pleasure – can feel extremely powerful and seem to be beyond one’s control, as intensely as being addicted to any pleasure-inducing chemicals
That's like arguing that other birth defects have no relationship to genetics. You don't just decide what gender you'll be attracted to.
Unless maybe you did--did you actually have to sit down one day and decide that for yourself, FKD19124? You required a decision process to figure out your preference?

Gene sequences are simply protein factories. Think of DNA as a set of blueprints for a house. When it comes time for it to be built, the contractor is free to make alterations to the blueprints before its completion. One twin is not like the other.

I believe there is a gene or something in the person when they are born. But I also believe that at least half of the people who call themselves "gay" have mental problems and are NOT gay.

The article identified in the OP is from a self-professed faith-based source.
In another post I've linked articles from scientific sources stating identical twins have different gene so there's been NO fact based evidence presented that sexual orientation isn't genetic.
