Something can have a biological basis, yet have no genetic component. Fingerprints are not heritable, indeed identical twins will have different fingerprints, but no one chooses their pattern.
Sexual orientation could similarly be left to the chance vagarities of the prenatal environment. Set down from birth, a completely biological basis, but no strict heritability of the trait at all.

Hmm, that's a new take on why people may be homosexual. I've always heard either the "it's genetic" or "it's a choice" arguments. But a developmental reason is quite feasible. Thanks for the insight.
