I don't really want to make this five paragraphs long, and I don't think that it needs to be. So I'll keep it as simple as I can. As far as religion and homosexuality goes, I'm bitter on that end the issue, because I've lost a few friends due to being bi. Sadly, each of those friends were hugely Christian, and one of them was even largely into yaoi and yuri, but I guess you can be okay with gay anime characters easier than when it involves real people. And a word of advice to anyone: Never use "lol well I like yaoi" in argument over whether you're okay with the LGBT community, it's not becoming.
As far as homosexuality and/or LGBT in general goes, do I think people can be born that way? Yes, I do. I've heard of plenty of things from people who experienced issues in relation to it as early as four or five years old. It differs from person to person, obviously, but I'm certainly not going to call any of those people out, and say "You don't know what you're talking about". They know their own body far better than I ever could, and if they think they knew by the time they were 10 years old, then I believe them. (Edit: calm yo bad selves down~. not sayin' all homosexuals know by the time they're five. Some could very well be effected by their environment / nature/nurture over the years, etc.)
Likewise, I also believe that for some it is a lifestyle choice. Why? Because some people really do it make it one. Some people actually say "I think I wanna be a in a same-sex relationship!", but have they have no peer pressure, or hard times, or self hate because of it. Nope. Because they're not actually homosexual, they just choose to swing a different way when it's convenient to them. Does that make it okay? If that's their choice, then more power to them, but I do agree that it does make the people who are fully in the LGBT group look bad.
I could explain on some points better, but I really don't wanna make this too much longer than it is. xD; Stoppin'.
