I don't think being gay is genetic. Seems like a choice to me, and encouraging it is a bad idea.

That's an outdated view based on misinformation. According to scientific research, the cause of orientation is much complex than a choice and is impacted by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. Many mental health professionals and scientific organizations also consider the concept of sexual orientation being a choice as distressing and flawed. Further, encouraging respectful attitude towards diversity regardless of identity is always a positive step in a society.

There is no conclusive evidence that being gay is genetic. Some research suggests that biological and environmental factors may be involved in an individual's sexual orientation. While there has been much debate surrounding the hereditary nature of being gay, encouraging any individual to explore their sexual identity should not be seen as a bad idea, as doing so could help better understand our own identities and make us more accepting of different lifestyles.
