"We've done a study of 1,000 gay brothers and found that brothers who are gay tend to be gay and have gay brothers as well"
Can gay incestuous twins get married in Massachussetts?
it would take at least 6 months to post all the one-liners for this crap

It doesn't undermine the fact that there is a choice, however. Homosexuals can still choose to be celibate.
It doesn't matter if it is one pair or a thousand. The researchers will conclude only what they want to conclude.
It's also responsible for lisps, zig zag finger snaps and head bobs.
Well, I've done a 'lifetime' of study and find that hetero folks usually rear hetero kids! LOL.....
If they find a genetic link for sexual orientation, then the argument goes, you don't blame people because they have blue eyes, why would you blame them for their sexual orientation? This kind of research undermines the choice argument and that bothers some groups who are out to prove that sexual orientation is something one chooses.
Just recovering from lesbian brain theory -and now this on the horizon?
It is but more severely flawed research with only ambiguous results possible coming our way eventually to be AP headlined as definitive.
Only those subjectively driving an agenda and not objective scientists rush in like this putting the cart before the horse. Before one can objectively link anything to "orientation" one must first objectively be able to identify orientation...
*****Well, I've done a 'lifetime' of study and find that hetero folks usually rear hetero kids! LOL.....*****
And homosexual folks usually rear...ummm...no, too easy...
..ummm...no, too easy...----Not easy for them to "make'em"
I know 2 gay brothers--but they're twins--for what it's worth
My question is how do they separate the nature from the nurture in this scenario. Two brothers may have the same genetice code, but they also share the same environmental forces that might steer them towards homosexuality.
D. Who is NOT eligible to volunteer for the study?Identical (monozygotic) twins are not eligible since it is already known that their DNA (genetic material) is the same. However, we know of other researchers studying identical twins; if such a family is interested in potentially participating in a twin study, we can provide researcher contact information. Individuals below the age of 18 are not eligible due to more uncertainty as to their actual sexual orientation as adults.
It would appear this study is ALL about subjective behavioral psychology and has NOTHING to do with objective physical science...
IOW they are already assuming the end result and thus have tained the study.
This is bogus even before it starts. It must be in anticipation of another round of homosexual based marriage votes.
Next we have the FR gene.
well no, i was just gonna say, the only people they rear is each other.
Entire Department of Health and Human Services could be scrapped as far as I am concerned.
Did you say brothas?
Yeah, a better test (to the extent there is ANY validity here, which is a big question) might be to test gay and straight brothers.
I actually know of a family of 9 brothers, 2 of whom ended up gay. One of the two is dead of HIV, though.
Messed up home life, though. Mother was a real domineering witch. Father very weak.
Good God! Taxpayers money at work?
