To me, the ability to answer the question is only relevant if you know what action you would take once having gotten the answer. Does knowing that there is a biological rather than sociological root cause change how we deal with homosexuality? Should it?
There are plenty of suboptimal outcomes that occur naturally (Down's syndrome, some might say alcoholism, etc). Does the fact that they occur naturally mean that we shouldn't fix (or avoid)these outcomes? I had the same conversation with my wife when deciding whether or not to have an amnio test late in her pregancy. What would you do if you had the information?
