Being gay is simply a case of nurture over nature, as it is a learned behavior and not genetic.

It can be sure, but if it is 100% nurture then why do we have gay animals, they don't have propaganda, not to mention the many studies showing differences in the brain structure of homosexuals. Literally nothing is 100% nature or 100% nurture, and both are always capable of causation.

What makes some people more susceptible to propaganda in roughly similar environments?

Human Sexuality has a Heritable Component

They say genes account for half the variance

Can you cite me some literature supporting your 100% nurture theorem explaining why everyone else is wrong?

We don't have gay animals. We have animals that sometimes have same-sex "sex." If there were anything real called "sexuality," then I have three lesbian ducks. Every morning they get in the pond and fuck. It turns out that when a male isn't around (maybe even if there is, we haven't had one), it's literally how they determine their pecking order. My female dogs will also do the same - hump each other for dominance.

There is no evidence of anything considered a "sexual orientation" in animals despite the appearance of "gay" sex, there are no "gay" animals.

*Edited to add, that human sexuality is known to be fluid and changes. That's a fact.

I'm actually inclined to agree with all of that, but its a semantic point. There are still animals that do same-sex sex, and animals that dont, if you changed the wording of my comment it wouldn't change the substance of my argument.

It can change, but not everyones will, just how fluid this situation is for everyone is pretty debatable, and you just said there isn't such thing as sexuality, I don't see a particularly compelling reason your arguments wouldn't apply to human animals if you are going to apply this categorically

I think we agree then. I don't believe human animals have sexuality, homosexual, heterosexual - at all.
