Why? What part is falacious?
I presume that you mean to say that God would create humans with equal
desires towards sinning. Hence, if it were found that SOME people had MORE
desire to sin based on their genetics, that it would prove that God does NOT
create people with equal desires. And that would be a contradiction, yes, I
agree.
However. I never saw it publicized in the Bible that God creates all men
with equal desires for sin. In fact, as obviated, He creates people of all
sorts of varieties. And it is each of their quests in turn to deal with
their unique situation and maintain faith, obedience, and love of God, no
matter what their predisposition. That the Earth is not a TESTING ground,
but a TRAINING ground. That we must be trained to deal with our desires and
know which ones to follow and which ones not to follow.
So I just don't see what aspect of Christianity is falacious if a gay gene
exists.

I suppose so. But I expect that such a hypothetical person really WON'T
exist. In order to be a Christian, they'd have to have taken some
interpretations in the Bible WAY wrong. In other words, I don't think anyone
ever has, is, or will be a Christian and still do this.
As for the research, check o-t.debate history. It came up not long ago (and
also before then)-- I think I was talking with James Simpson recently on
potentially the exact issue. IE what one can and can't do and still be
Christian.
