I was a christian. I was nearly a fundy one. I am also non-heterosexual myself. Welcome!
One question you might want to ask yourself is why "god" made you gay! If "god" gates homosexuals, then it should stop making gay Babies!
While I agree with your argument, I don't think I've ever seen a gay baby!
I'm well aware that certain sexual preferences and inclinations are based on things that are already set in stone at a very young age (as it has to do with a person's natural instincts), but attributing the resulting sexual orientation to a child or infant seems rather silly to me.
Regardless, denying one's very nature just to conform to the expectations of others would be completely unnatural and harmful. People should be free to do what will fulfil them the most sexually, as long as everyone involved consents to it.
Sexual orientation is an inborn human trait that is in the soul. It cannot be changed through different lives, as it is determined when your soul was first born. That is the nature side of the question.
Now, regarding the nurture side, it is possible to make someone believe they are whatever through brainwashing. This happens through media, social norms, religion, etc. This is why there are so many trans, why so many people are confused, why homosociality between males is based mostly on aggression, dominance and fear of being labelled 'gay' (especially a gay bottom), and also why so many things. Hypnosis can turn you into a monkey or a parrot, so it's perfectly possible for some people to believe they are something they aren't such as another sexual orientation or an teacup.
In the age we live, only power meditation, deep cleaning, purification and freeing the soul can lead you to deep self-knowledge, and take you out of the loop of confusion and brainwashing. Your sexual orientation may 'change' this way as you discover your true nature, and so will your hobbies, interests, passions, and ambitions change, revealing your true essence. So much is mystified on purpose.
There is also advancement, and that will lead you toward better things, and to relinquish that which holds you back. That happens because, as you start settling on higher and higher frequencies, you no longer resonate with things that are lower and thus dross. In that case, it is dangerous to keep clinging to them, as it will only bring you back down where you were, stalling your advancement. This is why it is important to keep an open, flexible mindset, always questioning yourself in the strive for ascension.
