I don't think it is a very good idea to base any serious conclusions on a controversial research paper. The arguments would be about the same as can be found in Steve's recent post "Health Studies Are Worthless to Those Who Care About Health". And I would also say that history has seen about enough "interesting" theories about the origins and "treatment" of homosexuality. Besides, what does "some cases" mean, anyway? Personally, I think the research pointing towards the conclusion that one is born with homosexuality has a strong enough case to bet a few bottles of good wine on, even if scientists do not yet want to officially draw that conclusion. You could be right, that it is less clear in the case of female homosexuality, though. I'm not sure about that.
@ Michael Chui:
Good joke! Of course, I could be treated out of being a homosexual by having my sex changed, but... nah... I'd rather not.
