Born gay is one thing. Racism is a learned behavior.
You can't change your sexuality on a whim, but you also have two opposing forces on that too. One extreme side says you absolutely have to go through therapy to become straight (which causes a lot of mental issues down the road e.g. depression, suicide), the other extreme side says you can change your sexuality and gender on a whim.
I try not to understand these people anymore. No way in hell God predisposes His children to hate people based on their skin color.

You got that backwards. Science has never found a "gay gene". There are a handful of genetic markers that might make a person more or less likely to be gay, but environment seems to be the big deciding factor.
On the other hand, racism could be distilled scientifically as in-group preference and pattern recognition. Both of these things are hard wired. In-group preference makes you more likely to help and defend people who look more like you versus those who don't, because that increases your chances of propagating your DNA. Pattern recognition means if you a lot of black dudes being criminals, your brain starts to think of all black dudes as potential criminals. In that sense it is learned, but it's more about empirically observing the real world than about society conditioning you.
Ingroup preference has been observed in infants before any inculturation could take place. Humans are extremely visual creatures; by the time you look at a stranger up and down, the reptilian part of your brain, its processes steeped in millions of years of evolution, has already constructed a low-res impression of that person. This primal circuitry has allowed us to make quick life-or-death judgments in order to survive, and they still regulate the higher brain functions in all modern humans. It's incredibly dangerous to pretend that the human brain is just a blank slate waiting to be molded.
What this states is that 26% of men who identify as homosexual or bisexual have had "sexual experiences under the age of 17 with someone 5 years+ older than them" and only 50% of those men stated that their sexual experience was negative.
That means that if your statement holds truth, you're claiming that the "majority" of these men constitutes 13%? That doesn't make sense.

Most gay men had sexual experiences with men while they were children. That is the problem.
Do you have statistics for that?
Spouting out bloviating nonsense is a thing for the left, not for us educated 'Pedes.
Being gay is not a curse. Most of them are not victims.
