Scientists may have finally solved the puzzle of what makes a person gay, and how it is passed from parents to their children.
A group of scientists suggested Tuesday that homosexuals get that trait from their opposite-sex parents: A lesbian will almost always get the trait from her father, while a gay man will get the trait from his mother.

Uh, because they LIKE to put it there?
Now I support abortion!
This theory will have a sell-by date of 90 days.
We get less wise every minute.
Yeah like “NO-FAULT” Divorce(break-up of the REAL Family), AND SLUT “Single” “Mothers” “raising” BASTARD “Sons” and Daughters.
;D!
So in order to prevent further gay people being produced, we should just take children away from their parents and let the state raise them...unless it’s a really gay state.
Does this explain why so many female couples adopt boys?
Because they are disgusting perverts ?
“Though scientists have long suspected some sort of genetic link, Rice says studies attempting to explain why people are gay have been few and far between.”
then this fag article is a waste of time then? I don’t need an explanation why degenerates are degenerates.
Two letters.

“Evolutionarily speaking, if homosexuality was solely a genetic trait, scientists would expect the trait to eventually disappear because homosexuals wouldn’t be expected to reproduce.”
How about stupidity? Oh well, I guess the last election demonstrates it doesn’t interfer with reproduction.
I don't know about past eras, but currently I'd say it was Justin Bieber music.
Scientists looking for more grant money!! I believe these scientists counter each other for that very reason...MONEY.
What we really need is some Federal Grant money to study this very important finding even more. Not.
As in BS. The article is so contorted in logic that it is more like a pretzel than a scholarly report.
You beat me by 25 seconds, lol.
“The results, published online this month in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, confirm earlier findings that identical twins are more concordant for same-sex behaviors than fraternal twins are but only modestly so: In men, genetic effects appeared to explain 34% to 39% of the differences between the two twin groups, whereas in women, genetics accounted for only about 18% to 19% of the difference—a finding consistent with other research showing that sexual orientation in women is not as rigidly determined as it is in men.”

So, the other 61-66% of gay twins seem to have picked up homosexuality by some other method, like RECRUITMENT.
I don’t doubt that some people are born gay, and that some are also recruited. Gay mens’ predilection for youth is well known since the Greeks at least.
