Gays: Born or bred?

It is in my belief that the issue of homosexuality is not a biological issue, but a mental one. Imagine this: A man has been living in confinement his whole life, and the only company he has ever had is that of the male gender. He has never seen or heard or come to the knowledge of the existence of any other gender. Who would cater to his biological and emotional needs? Needless to say, since no other option existed to him, he would naturally emerge
as a homosexual.

Perhaps this man did finally come to the knowledge one day that there miraculously existed not only one gender, male, but another most intriguing one called "female". Would he then concede to the laws of nature and partner a female? He could CHOOSE to, or not to. However to choose TO would be a difficult feat of will power, as he would then have to abolish every notion of sexual orientation that he once had. You have to recall that he has been living in the companionship of only males. Hence, as male was the only choice of partnership to him, for all that time, it would be instilled firmly within him that homosexuality was how things worked. But bear in mind that the privilege of choice was made accessible to him

Let us apply the above analogy in the context of the present day. I assume that there exists no single individual who is unfortunate to live in an environment where only other individuals of his or her gender existed. Hence, as they by default had the privilege of choosing the gender of their partners, it can be thus concluded that homosexuality is bred, and not born
