As someone that used to be homophobic in highschool, I can confirm this is the case. My dad is super homophobic yet all of his kids, including myself, are at least bisexual.

To my knowledge there is no hard evidence for sexuality being primarily genetical?
There is evidence. See the fraternal birth order effect for just one example:

And scientists have created lesbian mice:

Shit, you could go through the political news and find more than 35.
Typical of these evil, woke scientists to try to make good upstanding citizens gay with their evil sciencing. Good thing President Trump is putting an end to all this.
