This theory explains the children that come out different. It might not be the only answer to sexual orientation nd imprinting (molestation) may also play a role, but no doubt something is hard wired as well. There are many children who play differently than their gender. They were not molested. They are good people, beloved children of Gd, but they act like the opposite gender, not their own. This does demand study. Epigenetics helps to explain these discrepancies because there is no gay “gene,” just gay behavior and sometimes looks as well.

I believe they are onto something. Knuckle dragging freepers love to think that molestation creates all homosexuality, but they would be very wrong. Ask the good decent men who are very straight but their lives have been greatly damaged by mole station by a man in their childhoods. It definitely doesn’t turn all boys gay.

I hope it will be testable too either way, and if its true that people will not abort babies who have it just as I wish they didnt abort babies with down.

Nobody has ever said that being molested turns all boys gay just just as being beaten as a child does not mean that you will grow up to beat your kids.

It does however result in a statistically significant higher chance of those things happening and for similar reasons.

The victim does not want to be a victim, they want to be strong. The abuser is strong. The way to be strong is to be an abuser and have your own victims.

And the cycle continues.

Thanks for a well thought out and reasoned post, with which I completely agree.

The article makes complete sense...no gay gene, just another anomaly, like many others, that occur during fetal development in the womb. Although some behavior is chosen, these are also God’s children having nothing to do with their condition and are no less deserving of love, as are we all.

We should be patient and wait to see how this theory is tested and plays out.

I and no one else I’ve ever read on FR has ever said that all boys who were molested become homosexuals. Ever.

But in various studies at least 80% of homosexuals have said they were molested which includes seduction, when young, by homosexuals.

People who want to believe that homosexuals are born that way (whatever the speculated mechanism) cling to the theory, and ignore facts.

You cling to this idea for reasons of your own.

BTW I was a tomboy as a child and I did not turn out homosexual. I hated wearing dresses, played cowboys and Indians, never went for the baby dolls (they didn’t have Barbie dolls when I was young), read boys’ type adventure books, and so on. Did not like, ever, frilly girlie stuff.

Now people would have tried to convince me that I was a homosexual and who knows what would have happened to me.

Sorry Yaelle, there is still no solid proof to prove it is nothing more than the Environment they are raised in and the choices they make to ignore God, and please themselves instead of God, i.e. a total surrender to selfishness instead of to God.
