Liberals will write anything or create study results that support their ideals....I for one, find this study had to believe....

Would somebody with a biology/genetics education please read this in hopes you can answer my question. I get the overall gist, but are they also suggesting that some type of therapy/manipulation/treatment during the gestation period could stop the phenomenon of homosexuality from even happening?

It was a long time ago, so I have lost the reference.

In a study, pregnant lab rats, when exposed to marijuana, had higher numbers of male offspring who showed sexual interest only in other males.

If that proved true in humans, it could explain a lot.

So, if there’s a way to fix it, prevent in the future, the homosexual crowd would be okay with that, right? I mean, they “didn’t ask” to be born that way. So, if we eliminate the problem in the first place, it’d be alright, right? ;)

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

There’s your explanation.

Didn’t I know that a lot of Chicagoans had been Genetically Analised.

Obama explained.

I’ve read that stress, during the pregnancy, can cause the mother to flood the womb with testosterone, which can influence the sexual choices of the child.

Molestation drives most homosexuality.

If one twin is molested, what are the chances the other is also?

Oh...about the same as this study found!

If we learned how to control it we’d have nut balls deliberately gestating homosex babies.

Perfessor Rice, George Orwell had your number over 60 years ago:

We know they are made, not born.

“...have substantial prevalence in humans...”

I do not thin’ it means what they thin’ it means.

But, then again, math has consistently demonstrated that it is not a friend of progressives.

What they're saying is that during mieosis epigenetic methylation isn't 'erased' completely, and that carrying over old signals from an ancestor (mother/father) can interfere with normal processing of sex related gene function.

That is, it's not part of your genes ~ rather it's just part of an epigenetic signal.

Which means it can probably be fixed someday.

The study of epigenetics is NEW so it's possible to look up and read about all of it on the internet.

It doesn’t support their ideal and you didn’t read the whole thing. It’s a long read and can’t be done in 3 mins.

Honestly, I’m just a retired 30 year army veteran and I am to dumb to figure out what the hell this writer is talking about.

There is also the possibility that the chemicals in contraceptives remain in the body of women who use it. Instead of one in a hundred or two hundred being born deviant, it is two or three times as many, up to 6 in 100 gone wrong.
Thus the rise in the number of homosexuals may be a result of the rise of contraceptive birth control in the early 60s.
