NO!: Homosexuality is not considered a disorder. A specific genetic predisposition toward heterosexuality has not yet been found.

No: Best evidence is that sexuality of most gay males is determined while they are still in the uterus. The likelihood of a woman's son being gay increases with each subsequent male child but only right handed males. The first son and all left handed males have a 2% chance of being gay. The third son if right handed is actually more likely to be gay than straight. https://youtu.be/RGnZgC47SLA?t=141
