"There is no scientific evidence that homosexuality is anything but a learned behavior."

Is there any scientific evidence that homosexuality is a learned behavior?

The authors conclude: "Our study provides population-based, prospective evidence that childhood family experiences are important determinants of heterosexual and homosexual marriage decisions in adulthood."

It will be interesting to see in years to come if children growing up in a household with 2 parents of the same sex percentage wise are more likely to become a homosexual themselves.

I would guess probably not and probably in a lesbian situation a girl is less likely to be anti men than growing up in single parent (mother) family where a succession of men have come and gone.

By this I am not advocating or agreeing with Lesbians/homosexuals adopting or using AI to have a family but just speculating that statistics will probably show it does not have an affect on their sexual orientation. How balanced and how good they will cope with relationships etc is open to debate and I would say is dependent upon the normal male/female role models they have had contact with. In the case we are discussing I would say that interaction with Mary's sister's family and Dick and Lynne Cheney the grandparents will and should be very important and I am sure that Mary and Heather are intelligent enough to know this.

Spoken like a man who's never been in prison.
