I'd say it's part of the sin nature of man. It's "natural" in the sense that sin comes "naturally" to mankind. The natural man cannot receive spiritual things, for example. So, it is "natural" for many. But I'd not say it is "normal" or what is by design.
As for being born gay... I believe we're all born sinners. Our flesh has chemicals, pharomones, hormones, etc. that all drive us to temptations and sinful actions. In our flesh, there is no good thing. We're fallen and sinful, body, soul, and spirit. I've known gays who were gay from before they were 8 years old. And they came from very happy and healthy homes where their brothers and sisters turned out just fine. I think we heep a lot of guilt on parents by saying it's purely "environmental". Parents start weeping wondering, "Where did I go wrong?" Truth is... they didn't. It's that whole sin nature thing operating in their child's flesh... i.e.... biology of a fallen human being.
Now, I don't think that biology is always a cause. I do believe that some suffer abuses that lead to this attraction.
I also believe that for some it's just a "kink" they prefer.
So in short, I see it as a more complex issue than many. That's my take on it. I could be wrong... but I hope that clarifies.
God bless.
