I don't think that a child is born with a 'sexual urge' or tendency - it is something that develops, just like the sexual organs develop over time.
I believe that when a child is born, its first instinct is survival. So you get all the growth and the development of the language and learning faculties and so on.
There may be behavioural qualities that maybe point towards sexual orientation throughout childhood, but this is where I think upbringing i.e. how your mother is towards you plays a part. Because child hood is sort of the time the child becomes a little more independant from its mother than when it was a baby.
Utlimately I don't think there is a 'choice' in the matter. I didn't one day just think 'hmmm am I going to be gay or straight?' - it just happens. You get feelings. I don't think that everyone has urges to try being gay because the way the succession of our kind works is sexual intercourse between a male and female, the meeting of the sperm and the egg, and ultimately the birth of a new being. So the way nature intended was obviously for the male and female to come together, each supplying 50% of the new being's DNA each, so that no new born being is ever the same, and thus eliminating the chance of the race becoming extinct because of one particular gene for instance. Everything has a purpose.
I presume that 'gayness' is a product of one's personality. A bit like one person may loooove peas, but another person doesn't. What one person likes, another doesn't necessarily.
There are probably 101 factors affecting who is going to be gay, bisexual or straight, it's probably a secret of nature we will never figure out. But I don't think there is any one thing that can pinpoint the quality of being gay.
And I don't think that they should be looking at it through the process of 'genes' etc. either like its some kind of disease, when infact I'd assume, it is a portion of somebody's personality - something hardwired in the brain.
