Your opinion is just that. But redefining to restrict an information pool distorts the validity and reality. That's what this current administration is attempting to do with "terrorism" .... by eliminating modifiers to redirect the proper focus.
In an answer to your proposition of "teaching" ... it is my belief that people can modify their behavior whether it be addictions, sexual interests, and/or criminal activities .... or a combination of any of them.
In fact, in theory, this country has a criminal justice system founded on that notion.

I'm not exactly what you mean by changing what you posted. I disagree with the definition of "gay" that you posted and I'll be happy to post definitions that I have found that support my POV.
For example:
"The
American Psychological Association defines
sexual orientation as "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, or both sexes," ranging "along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the other sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex." Sexual orientation can also be "discussed in terms of three categories:
heterosexual (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to members of the other sex),
gay/lesbian (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to members of one's own sex), and
bisexual (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to both men and women)."
or

"Since then, gay, meaning
homosexual male, has steadily driven out all the other definitions that have floated about through time and of course also has gradually begun supplementing the word ‘lesbian’ as referring to women who are homosexual."
So that is point 1 that I made in my previous post. The definition of "gay" that you posted is very narrow in scope and simply does not fit what most people think of when a person is called "gay".
The second and final point I made was in reference to your statement that being gay can be both genetic or environmental and you say "Both". And in a previous post you state that being gay can be taught "Through example, acceptance, and direction in a closely regulated environment." I disagree but I accept your OPINION.
