In May 2000, the American Psychiatric Association issued a Fact Sheet, "Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Issues," which includes this statement:

"Currently, there is a renewed interest in searching for biological etiologies for homosexuality. However, to date there are no replicated scientific studies supporting any specific biological etiology for homosexuality."

The American Psychiatric Association is trying to be politically correct as they're afraid saying homosexuality has a genetic component would lead some people to label it a "disease" that needs to be cured with drugs or gene therapy rather than a genetic variation similar to having green eyes or being left-handed.
