Yes, my friend. You don't 'consciously' choose these genes, but cause them to arrange into action. Remember that there can be no cause without effect. And that cause and effect is simultaneous, i.e. whenever there is a cause, the seed of its fruits is planted immediately.
The specific (past) action or actions leading to homosexuality,specifically I don't know - maybe a deep fear or hate of a specific gender or unhappiness with ones sexual experience in life? Or a sexual obsession or related condition? I really don't know that.
The point is that we really do choose and create our own lives. We are solely responsible for the quality of our lives through the smallest choices and thoughts we entertain...if that makes any sense to you.
