"There's definitely a stronger inclination within the "left" to attribute sex-/gender-specific trait differences to culture/environmental causes rather than genetics. " No, it's the opposite. 'Born that way' was a positioning effort discovered in tye 90's by gay advocacy groups. When social conservatives believe that 'gay is a choice' - then they are against it, but if social conservatives can be convinced that people are simply 'born that way' i.e. inherently gay, and it's not a behavioural thing, then clear majorities of them are accepting of it. It's the biggest factor in determining a social conservatives tolerance towards gays. The science I think is still out on that, but there's no doubt that the community marketing objectives are oriented towards 'inherent'. When Cynthia Nixon decided in later life that she was gay - and then virulently said that she was in fact straight before, i.e. not 'coming out' but rather 'becoming gay' - it upset the gay community a lot because this is inconsistent with the marketing by the gay community. This is one of a few topics that tend to be twisted by all sides. The science is vague.
