While I would agree that sexual preference is not a choice, I think people are sometimes too eager to make the connection that because something's not a choice, it must be genetic or there from birth.
Many people have odd sexual fetishes (ranging from mildly odd to somewhat terrifying). Most would probably agree those fetishes aren't choices, but I've never heard the argument made that those sources of sexual arousal are somehow innate.
Given the prevalence of identical twins where only one is gay, it seems clear that, at the very least, sexual orientation is determined by a variety of factors. I'm not sure what is the point of conducting a poll that asks people off the street which they think is the dominant factor...
