Secretion of GnRH is what activates the production of the hormones that regulate puberty. Though it is secreted at different times for different people (sometimes based on genetic interactions with the environment) it is, nonetheless, a natural and genetically influenced process.
If puberty is not genetically influenced, then may I ask for your explanation for it?

There's a difference between saying something is "genetically influenced" (influenced by genes) and saying something is "genetic" (there's a specific gene that directly causes it). Whether accurate or not, for most folks when you say something is genetic, they're thinking "born with it."
Regardless, there is no direct link between a specific gene or group of genes and sexual "orientation."
