the truth. I made no mention of the bible, nor of God and neither did either of the articles I linked to.
As the articles noted, self-identified lesbians got pregnant two to seven times as often as their heterosexual peers. That is a lot, and it blows a big hole in the born that way hypothesis.
It looks to me like you are rejecting evidence that goes against your current beliefs without even giving it half a look because the person who presented it to you is a Christian.

After I presented this information to an acquaintance, he said, “That’s scientifically impossible!” But that’s only true if you assume that being gay or lesbian is a sexual absolute—the way someone is, unchangeably what they are. Unless biology has transformed overnight, it means women who identify as lesbians are having a whole lot of guy sex. And gay-identified youth are having a great deal of girl sex.
But being gay or lesbian is supposed to be absolute and unchangeable—like sex, race, or ethnicity. This pregnancy phenomenon confounds that narrative in a dramatic way, and it can’t be ignored. Could it be that being lesbian or gay is not quite as absolute or fixed as gender theorists want us to believe?
Sure, lesbians could occasionally veer off their path and get pregnant. Gays could do the same and end up making babies. It wouldn’t be that surprising. But think about what we have going on here: we know that as a whole, heterosexual youth are more sexually active than nearly every adult would wish, and their pregnancy rates are too high as well. It’s a national concern.
But gays and lesbians have a two to seven times greater rate of pregnancy, and double the rate of abortion. That’s a great deal of pregnancy-possible sex going on among teens and adults who are supposedly “born that way” to want non-pregnancy-possible sex. ...
In her important book “Sexual Fluidity” Professor Lisa Diamond laments the mistaken assumption that lesbianism is fixed like male homosexuality and argues that this belief is the result of gay-normativity and male prejudice in gay research. She is hopeful that this has changed slightly in the last decade, revealing a picture of male and female sexual orientation as “distinct phenomena instead of two sides of the same coin.” It reveals that “one of the fundamental, defining features of female sexual orientation is its fluidity,” a “situation-dependent flexibility in women’s sexual responsiveness,” making it possible for women to desire either men or women under certain situations regardless of their generally identified “sexual orientation.” If this is true, it means lesbianism is not an orientation as we popularly understand the term today. Diamond concludes,
This is why a woman like Anne Heche can suddenly find herself falling madly in love with Ellen DeGeneres after an exclusively heterosexual past [and present], and why a longtime lesbian can experience her very first other-sex attractions in her forties.
Not only is female sexuality itself fluid, but so are the personal identifiers women choose for themselves. Remarkably, more than 50 percent of women who had both male and female partners in the last year identify not as bi-sexual or lesbian, but as heterosexual. Eleven percent of women who have known only female sex partners identify as heterosexual, and—remarkably—only 19 percent of women who’ve ever had sex with another woman consider themselves either “lesbian” or “homosexual.”
