Can a perverse lifestyle be excused by "proving" that some people are "hard-wired" for the perversion? Don't we diminish the role of God's grace in redeeming us from the power of sin when we give the lost a pass for perversion based on biology?
How about instead of denying that there is any biological basis for homosexuality, we view the resultant sin just like we view other sins that may be affected by our DNA, such as alcoholism? God's grace saves us from the eternal consequences of sin when we are regenerated, but it also gives us power over sin in this life, no matter what nurture or nature has influenced us.
A very good discussion of this topic here:
"I was born that way...so it's OK."
