Have they studied gay twins raised apart to see if they had a greater propensity toward homosexuality than regular people? Is it settled it isn't a choice?

Whether the orientation is determined at conception or is caused by factors in the womb or a combination of both, there is no doubt that it is hard-wired in the brain early on.
Put it this way: when did you "choose" to be straight? Was there a time when you were weighing whether or not to be gay, but opted for straight instead?
When I was a small kid, I had major crushes on Barbara Eden of "I Dream of Jeanie" and Elizabeth Montgomery of "Bewitched". Even if I had no clue what sex was about, I still knew I felt different about them - LONG before puberty.
Meanwhile, some other boy had a crush on Major Nelson. What does that tell you?
Why would anyone "choose" to do something that any normal straight men find disgusting? Because they have no choice in the matter. It is in their nature. No one would put up with all of that discrimination and societal rejection if it is something they could just "choose" to stop feeling.
Every last one of those gay rehabilitation programs (religious based or secular) has proven to be a complete failure. Some gays claim to be "cured" in order to curry family with friends and church, only to revert to their true nature later, making themselves feel like miserable failures.
