In other words, if a gay man can up and decide to turn straight, a straight man can up and decide to turn gay.

So here's my challenge to you. I want you to turn gay for the next 3 months. It's a personal choice, so if a gay guy can make it, surely you can make it too. Quit being heterosexual for just three months, then get back to us to tell us how it went.
How is it an excellent way of proving anything? It's both unscientific and illogical.

I liken homosexuality to fetishism. It's something that is learned, but can be very hard to break. And I seriously doubt anyone thinks that being turned on by leather is inborn and not learned. And as long as it's controlled and doesn't adversly affect your life, there should be no reason to break it.

Again, what many people fail to understand is that the burden of proof isn't on showing how sexual orientation is NOT biological, but the opposite. I have repeatedly asked for concrete evidence that it is, and have yet to see any. One article that was posted in another thread to supposedly show how sexual orientation was biological actually supported my view.
