No, you along with nem, buzsaw, randman, and a few others have been arguing your heads off that homosexuality is completely a choice. Don't get me wrong. I've not offered definitive proof that homosexuality has biological causes. All I've done is present some evidence that at least tell us the cause(s) for homosexuality is more than just choice.
I have personally witnessed homosexual behavior in dogs, cats, and most recently even a male guppy.
If homosexuality is completely culturally determined and has no biological element I wonder how the male guppy became gay in the first place. I did not see any 'overprotective behavior' on the part of the mother guppy, nor any particularly 'distant behavior' on the part of any male(s). Basically they saw their progeny as food until they got too big for their mouths.
I don't see how this particular male guppy would have been influenced by any 'gay culture' among the other fish. Granted that while male guppies may have a particular fondness for 'dancing' and 'showing off' to the point their behavior may be considered 'flaming' by some, such behavior was only aroused around females except in this one particular case. Nor did this particular male guppy have any role models among the others of its kind as they were, to all appearances, 'straight.'
So I am curious how those who proclaim "homosexuality is a choice" can explain exactly how this particular guppy 'chose' to be gay?
