Pretty much what I was fixing to say. If the homosexual gene can be detected then according to the left the homosexual baby can be aborted. Sorry but I refuse to use the word gay when describing homosexuals, it certainly doesn’t describe them.

This would change nothing on the looney left’s point of view...they already kill all those they claim to be “protecting” - they insist on killing blacks, Hispanics and whites and elderly and disabled. They will kill anyone for any reason. Death is death for them...it does not matter, as long as there are satanic sacrifices, they will be quite pleased.

So, what was the control group? No mention of a control group.

Strengthens claims homosexuality is decided by biology, not choice . . . two pieces of DNA that seem to be linked to homosexuality . . .

A tendency to alcoholism is also in the genes (I know, I inherited it). Genetics are not destiny; one can choose whether to drink to excess (something I have chosen, occasionally with great difficulty, never to do).

A tendency to adultery is in the genes for many people. Again, one can choose how to respond to that desire.

As for a tendency to homosexuality, one can choose whether to act on those urges. My neighbor is a nice man with five kids and is absolutely devoted to his wife. His identical twin brother was gay and died of AIDS several years ago. Same genes, different choices.

This article is absolute bull and not scientific. I can prove it in a lab setting.

First, the physical body is a manifestation of the soul or spirit, not vice versa. Consciousness is the driving influence.

There are two aspects of the soul that need to merge in order to become “whole.” The experience of being “whole” is the driving influence of the feeling of “love” which merges two souls in order to allow them to feel whole by using another soul as a crutch. It’s the reason that Paul said what he did about being single and two becoming one in the eyes of God. The two aspects of the soul are the masculine and feminine.

I can identify the specific event in a person’s life when they switched their gender identity. Attraction is based upon the masculine and feminine aspects of the soul merging, not gender. Although, stereo-typically the gender tends to align with the dominant aspect of consciousness in the soul.

Dominant controlling women have a masculine aspect of consciousness stronger than their feminine. When they get into a codependent relationship with their son’s, the son’s consciousness develops into the compliment of the mother to balance the codependent relationship. Thus controlling mothers tend to have feminine sons. There are other influencing factors, but the mother influence is the strongest.

Stem cells are not masculine nor feminine, nor are they heart muscle or bone cells. It is the consciousness of the soul around the cell that gives it life and guides it through development. The soul is the source of life, or rather “Is the Life.”

I’ve done a lot of work with gays and lesbians in the last twenty+ years of my work. What I say here I also say to groups of them when I am lecturing. Then I demonstrate and prove it. I do not judge them as they are already judging themselves beyond what others impose upon them.

Even gay relationships have one dominant masculine and one dominant feminine. The choice to be gay or not is totally an intellectual decision. If a feminine man does not believe it is acceptable to be with a man in a relationship, they will find a masculine female to balance them out. The attraction is not generated by gender, but by dominant consciousness flow pattern being attracted toward its compliment to balance it.

I have also noticed the various illness manifestations resulting from the consciousness flow patterns in the soul. Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome is dominant masculine consciousness. MS is a dominant feminine aspect of consciousness. I’ve now tested fourteen people with MS and in every one the event that shifted their consciousness happened at age four. I’ve noticed that suppression of the feminine aspect also manifests as cysts on the ovaries or PCOS.

Intelligent design is scientific as the intelligence is in the soul as consciousness. Jesus healed the body by healing the soul. If you just raise the operational frequency of your consciousness through prayer and meditation focused upon God, other people’s souls and the thoughts and memories contained in them become physical and tangible to your senses. It’s how Jesus knew the thoughts and memories of all people around Him.

If you have a code to not procreate, then how to you continue the code?

Ding ding winner! it is NOT genetic or they wouldn't have to plant seeds, cultivate and harvest in public schools and the curriculum, or in HolyWeird.

To what other deviant behaviors — are people genetically predisposed?

“Conducted on identical twins,less than 10% of cases found both twins to be homosexuals.”

I find this interesting as the parental environment is a major influencing factor and both would be in the same environment.

It is not known which of the many genes they contain are key or how they affect the development of sexual orientation. However, the result, revealed at the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s prestigious annual conference, backs up a contentious 1993 study.

Sounds like a media planted story. No detailed info, no mention of peer review....

Dr Michael Bailey from Northwestern University in Illinois, who contributed to the latest study, said it is the biggest of its kind. He added: ‘Sexual orientation has nothing to do with choice. Our findings suggest there may be genes at play – we found evidence for two sets that affect whether a man is gay or straight

Abundant evidence in these two sentences that the "study" had more to do with politics than science.

If it is in the genes, and it can be tested prior to birth....will the left insist on a law that you cannot abort because your fetus has this gene?

Identical twin studies have shown when one is gay, the other is only gay about 50% of the time.


Interesting. When the gayness of the unknown twin of the gay sibling is 25 times what would be expected, that’s profound evidence of a genetic link, if not an absolute genetic determination.

I suspect that the gay gene will be found for men, and for women it may never be found, or show a much lower “genetic-linked” rate for women.

Either that, or they’ll find a gene that gives women an affinity for plaid, overalls, and being fat and cranky, which also links to an aversion to men.

Note the verbiage.


Proper scientific verbiage to confess doubt, which there usually is.

And that’s where the surrogates come in. Seems more and more homosexual men are becoming daddies, though not through convention means.

Genetics is fascinating but also a slippery slope. What happens if/when they find all sorts of genetic defects that can be used for all sorts of purposes? Will we eventually have parents demanding “perfect” offspring?

If it was hardcoded and immutable, unchangeable, the second twin would have to be gay 100% of the time

Science proved years ago that the DNA of identical twins were not always mirror images. If it were then how could one twin develop asthma or leukemia or other cancers without the other one developing it as well?

The good part about the Queer Gene is that when detected in the routine fetal genetic disease tests, the pregnancy can be terminated

(I subscribe to neither practice, merely stating the possibilities)

Exactly - never mind 10,000 years of human civilization just pay attention to a study of 400 brothers - wtf. I’ve come to appreciate the human rights of those engaged in homosexual activities but we sure spend a ton of attention to a ridiculously small, but vocal, minority.
