I'm sorry, but "I just know I'm right" doesn't qualify as scientific fact, as far as I'm concerned. Genetics, behavioral patterns, common sense, and the magic 8-Ball all point to your position not being "I just know I'm right" but "Gosh, I hope one day science proves me right".
Of course, it is the liberal viewpoint that man cannot control his destiny, the bad things that happen to man, somehow, are always the fault of someone else or something else. It's absurd. People who are of sound mind in America have as much control over their lives as they care to exercise. Every good situation I've ever been in has at least in part been my achievement, and every bad situation I've ever been in has at least partially been my fault. I could easily blame genes or environment on some of my pitfalls, but it's wrong and irresponsible to do so. I was fat, and my family has a definite genetic predisposition towards obesity (that, unlike the whole gay gene, is a proven fact), but I was fat because I did not control my eating habits appropriately. It was my fault, not mom's, not dad's, certainly not McDonald's. Now I am not fat, because I live a more responsible life. I watch what I eat and I exercise.
I am the master of my own life. I live a straight lifestyle not because my genes force me to, but because I choose to. Not everyone has the strength of conviction that I do, and they do things that are not constructive or pleasing, but they ultimately decide to do these things.
And you do have a choice to NOT do things, too. People who live a gay lifestyle are choosing not to live straight.
