Twin studies show a strong genetic component.
The page you linked to doesn't exactly present evidence of a strong genetic component (or much of a consensus for that matter).
The brain evidence is interesting, but it goes more to a lack of choice, rather than a genetic aspect.
Except it's not evidence of lack of choice (unless you adopt a very specific kind of Cartesian dualism) either.
And you are A) Linking to a discussion where you and I already discussed exactly this and why your response didn't make sense,
Your reasoning was basically "everyone lies thus some political group lying isn't evidence against their other claims". Not a particularly strong argument at the best of times, certainly not here were the situation is extremely analogous to the lie at the link (just substitute "transgender" for "homosexuality").
B) making a massive leap that from some political groups presenting selective evidence, that one should therefore doubt scientific studies.
It wasn't just presenting selective evidence, it was getting BS or outright lies declared part of the scientific consensus.
The page you linked to doesn't exactly present evidence of a strong genetic component (or much of a consensus for that matter).
Of the studies in question, the only one which showed a weak correlation listed is Bearman and Brückner, which still showed a 7.7% concordance rate for male homosexuality. The female rate is lower, which shouldn't be that surprising, given that the other studies included also showed lower concordance rates for females, and that there's other evidence for female sexuality being more malleable than male sexuality. Moreover, the la...
