Didn’t I say it was MY observation based only on MY experience?

Yes, you did, responding to my post where I said: "If you disagree, by all means, provide a scientific study." But you can't, which is my point. You are of course free to think what you want based on your observation and experience and I will try to communicate to you and others, that your observation and experience do not align with science or any data on the topic.

Yes, they need to explain to me how a genetic trait can get more common even though it causes procreation to cease. I guess I’m not smart enough to figure that one out. If it were nature, there would be no queers in 50 years.

Years ago, the argument against your comment above was there could be a recessive gene, but that is no longer used as science has made it clear, there is no known genetic marker of any kind supporting gays are born that way.

What we have are reporters misrepresenting studies and people speaking nonsense from their lack of knowledge on the subject.

The following hits all the major scientific studies on the subject, including LeVay, Bailey/Pillard and Hamer.

This Is The Way God Made Me” A Scientific Examination of Homosexuality and the “Gay Gene”

The conclusion: there is no genetic cause for same-sex attraction.

Earlier this morning I was reading about another study in the UK from December 2017 where they were shouting from the rooftops, we found the gay gene we found the gay gene. But in reality, they didn't and even admitted it was all speculative. But somebody had to sell some advertising space so they push what itching ears want to hear.

I disagree that my experience does not align with scientific data.

I am not aware of any significant studies that relate body chemistry and genetics with homosexuality, and the ones I have seen want to distort reality to make it acceptable- I.E. the ‘study’ seems biased.

I am a scientist myself, and so I am good at making observations. Based on what I observed, I think I could easily formulate a study to determine if what I observed matched my theory- and it is ONLY my theory- but as far as I know no study of that kind has been made. It seems to me the single most obvious study... and yet...

If you are aware of one, let me know.

To what scientific data do you refer?

Not in the Bibles I’ve read. Sin is sin.

You seem to only read the first sentence, then respond... read ALL of it

Only your personal observations, yes, I got that. Since nobody can replicate your personal observations, I was hoping for something even a little substantial, something using the scientific method, something somebody could replicate.

I've listed a few articles and one article referencing three well known studies, none of which support the born-that-way theory. I've also posted a link to my categorical index of links with a plethora of data and references to a myriad of studies.

No scientific study to date supports the born-that-way theory. No personal observations support the born-that-way theory. No study that claims to support the born-that-way theory has been replicated. That's the real issue.

Apparently, their free will says “bone dudes”.

PS: it’s obviously molestation while young that creates homos.

They deserve our sympathy.
