Science Shows That Homosexuals Are Not "Born That Way."

Here's proof!

Thank You, great job! may I copy it and send it on? I'd like to send it to Article 8 and govt official;s in the area, perhaps others will do the same! They should all see it, even the White House!

Of course there's not a "gay gene."

Such a thing could hardly evolve now, could it?
How do you pass something along if you have no progeny?

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

The most recent genetics-based identical twin study re-confims for about the fourth time now, what other identical twins studies have shown, that homosexuality is not "genetic".

Identical twins have identical genes. If homosexuality was "genetic", then if one twin was homosexual, the other would be too. But this is not the case, far from it in fact.

Homosexuality has been proven by this study and multiple others to not be "genetic."

It may not be a genetic thing yet still be at least partially biological in origin.
There's been some studies that show that various hormone levels in the mother may have something to do with it. I think the most recent one was something with thyroid hormones, can't quite remember.

Good work. It seems the genetic predisposition of homsexuality is comparable to the predisposition to addictive behavioral tendencies:

For instance, certain ethnic groups appear to have a greater predisposition to alcoholism. This doesn't mean that being born Irish makes one an alcoholic, or excuses alcholism. The way many in AA put heredity and alcholism is like this: Dysfunctional upbringing (i.e., the environment) causes dysfuntional emotional states and poor copign skills, which in turn causes tendencies towards addictive behaviors. If a person has a genetic predisposition towards alcoholism and drinks heavily, that addictive tendency will be expressed through alcholism.

I've heard friends and associates discuss their upbringing, heard mandatory "sexual identity" discussions in college, and read numerous articles. Of dozens and dozens of people describing how they first realized they were homosexual, ALL involved sexual experiences which I would categorize as abusive and severely damaging if they were heterosexual. (example: A journalist wrote, "I discovered my true secuality through an experience that was at first horrifying, then liberating, which occurred in a public mens room when I was eight years old.")

I believe most homosexuality is a coping mechanism that is a response to severely dysfunctional situations. The normalization of homosexuality probably only lowers the threshold of adopting homosexual tendencies as a response.

Actually, the variability has now been confirmed to be less tha 39%. The percentage is going down.

It shows, along with the other scientific studies, that homosexuality is not "genetic."

Proof of what? Are you trying to induce homosexuality? :^D

Thanks for the compliment.

Sorry but I don't believe that homosexuality exists at all - it's just a name that the proponents of a particular activity (or classification of activities) have given to try to legitimize it. The trick to doing that is to make it seem that there is a whole group of like-minded people who have the same innate characteristic - in fact, born that way and hence it is justified. I think that there is only an inherent sexual drive that we are all born with - and the classification isn't between heterosexual and homosexual, it's between normal and perverted - and it isn't about 'who one is', it's about 'what one does'. In the above article, Paglia is probably closest to the truth when it comes to how homosexuality is defined.

Thanks for the compliments.

As well, I don't see why you couldn't use this in a variety of ways. People need to get the facts.

I agree that it most likely has little or nothing to do with genetics, but I also doubt that many of them have much of a choice in it. There are a great many homosexuals who desperately want not to be gay and even go so far as to marry and have families in an effort to be straight. If it were just a choice these men could make then they definately would not be gay.

[TerP26]

id say it's mostly genetic. I mean you can find tons of animals that exhibit in same-sex behavior. Were they brought up gay or molested as a child? I mean come on. You think a lot of people want to be gay? I doubt it. It is just the way it is.

Sexuality is highly fluid ...

Hmmm... There might be something to this. Do you have to worry about them talking over the football game or do they pay attention and follow the game just like regular guys?... ;-)
