Could you provide some links to unbiased studies that have shown this to be absolute fact?

I have found that Jeffrey Satinover's "Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth" is a good introduction to how the various aspects of genetics, prenatal influences, postnatal influences, environment, brain plasticity, and personal "choice" (reinforcing behaviors) all do or don't contribute to same-sex attraction. The broad brush statements of "They are born that way" (with the implication that it is good and God-pleasing) or "they choose to be that way" (with the implication that there are no other factors or forces at work besides carrying out a specific sexual act) all seem terribly uninformed and don't address the actual circumstances of a given individual.

In the end, the question is do we all hold to the Word of God in the face of our own struggles and temptations? Looking to Christ as Savior, trusting His grace to be sufficient in our trials, and seeking to be obedient to His guiding Word, even when -- especially when -- our fallen brains and bodies tempt us to do otherwise.
