That's why you can have laws against adultery, and/or laws which penalize a cheating spouse in divorce cases. There is nothing unnatural about adultery however.
Another example would be: blacks are disproportionately imprisoned in the US. Do you think a potential solution to this is to demonstrate that this is a product of genetics?
Anyway, Daved, like it or not, you are just playing into the hands of homophobes with your argument, because it is:
1) totally irrelevent to the law and always will be (hence, the argument cannot help there).
2) totally irrelevent, as laserlight points out, to whether homosexual behavior should be condoned or justified.
It may make a certain kind of sense to some people (altho IMO that is sad in itself).
* and nb, insanity pleas are substantially different from saying "I'm bad because of my genes".
