I personally know a pair of gay [identical] twins--one of them died of AIDS.
There really isn't a threat from facing the idea that it's possible there's a genetic component to this tendency. Being born with a tendency toward any particular sin doesn't mean that God has endorsed the behavior. If that were the case, then all sin would be God-approved, because we are all born with a sinful nature. We don't judge what God has approved by first determining what our temptations are and then assuming they must be normal and God-given in our nature.
I'm sure there are a lot of heterosexual men who have the "tendency" to have sex with every woman they're attracted to, but God called that sin, too.
