proving homosexuality has a biological cause

In my opinion i feel that homosexuality is a choice.
Well the simple question is the one i already asked others then.
Do you think that YOU personally can right now "choose" to actually love and enjoy (feel the desire) to have sex with someone of your own gender?

Not only is it a choice but it is on that is unnatural to the person at hand to begin with. if you look at all creation you can see that all things are made in pairs, even plants. it is logical to then assume that the male and female were almost designed for each other.
First of all you assume a design without arguing for it.
Secondly the statement that all things are made in pairs (which you presumably took from the quran) is not correct.
Thirdly even if the things were made in pairs this doesnt mean its unnatural to be homosexual. Why would it?
There are however a lot of arguments against your idea.
If it is a matter of choice, then how come we find it in the animal kingdom which according to most scriptures do not have free will and choice?

People all over the world are born either left handed or right handed. Those that are left handed are less dexterous with their right hand and vice versa. Similary, people are born heterosexual. They are thus less inclined to the same sex.
According to that logic you just argued perfectly well why homosexuality could be natural. Well those people are simply born that way ;)

I remember that before my younger brother was sitting a very important exam, he had broken his writing hand (left hand) and thus could not write with it. In an effort to allow him to sit the exam without any disadvantage, we taught him how to use his right hand. Thus we trained him against his natural set up but non the less he was able to write very well with his right hand. Now he is bi-manual.
I think you mix up the ability to do something (here learning to be bi-manual) with sexual preference. Nobody denies that homosexuals can have sex with members of the other sex. Physically this is of course possible.

Similarly homosexuals are born heterosexual. However, due to exterior influences they are entrained against their natural behavior. Once a person allows homosexual thoughts into their mind and does not reject them, slowly these influences will manifest in physiological instance of arousal and attraction to the same sex.
There is much evidence against your idea.
People gain their sexual preference way before getting into puperty.
Overall this sounds as if you are afraid it might infect you;)
Homosexuality is at its peak today and in greater numbers than it has ever been.
Here i think you err again. Homosexuality is spoken about today, while in former times it was not.
There is no evidence to suggest it has actually increased.

Gay individuals are shown to be great fun, good friends to women and more in touch with their feminine side and thus it is a more desirable lifestyle choice.
As said before... its not a choice. Just ask yourself if you could choose and why you obviously dont choose to be homosexual.

If you think that homosexuality is not a manifestation of ill, unnatural thoughts and a lack of self control as well as a lack of control of ones desires then you must agree that being bisexual is also a natural way of life and not a choice. If you believe that being bisexual and being homosexual is not a choice then i ask you what about the paedophile? Does the paedophile not deserve any sympathy? he/she too must be one who has not chosen their way of life according to your way of thinking. Can paedophiles help what is sexually arousing to them? no they cant. the only difference is that children cannot consent to sex and there is the dilema.
I think the last sentence here was the very point you should ponder about!

If these three were natural then let me ask you, why is it that there are so many health risks associated with homosexual intercourse, especially anal sex.
There are no more risks in homosexual life than in a comparable heterosexual one.
Anal sex is not limited to gay people you know.

Anal sexual activity is not practiced by most heterosexuals, neither is it necessary. It is not healthy for anyone, but it is promoted by homosexuals. There is more promiscuity among homosexuals.. . therefore more STDs. Pap smears ( testing for cancer ) are now routinely done in the rectums of male homosexuals who "receive" during the sexual act. Lesbians have a higher risk for cancer - possibly due to the fact that they are not having children.

Repeating this over and over again doesn't make it and more valid.

Where did you get that information from? Most men have rectum scans/tests because that's how they search for prostate cancer. Most men will eventually get prostate cancer and regular tests are recommended for all men.

There are a number of lesbian women who have babies and many heterosexul women who do not. Please find me the legitimate statistic and studies.

Heterosexual males who do participate in anal sex with men (and there are quite a lot more than most people realise as found in sociological studies) is probably due to the fact that having a prostate makes anal intercourse intensly pleasurable. Compared to some other sexual fetishes, anal intercourse is not so dirty. Plus, it just takes a bit of water and soap to wash off. Not a big deal.
