While I don't bellieve there is a "gay gene" either, there may, in some cases, be a predisposition toward homosexuality that may have a genetic component; however, whether or not to act on it is a matter of choice. Many people are born with a predisposition toward alcoholism, but nowhere in scripture does that give anybody license to be a drunk. Paul said that we all have our crosses to bear. Mine is that if I eat half of what a normal person eats, I gain weight. It doesn't give me an excuse to be a glutton. The alcoholic has to be careful about exposure to alcohol and someone with homesexual tendencies needs to be more cautious in same sex friendships. It doesn't mean it's easy, but I don't remember reading anywhere in scripture that life is easy.

That's a really good point a lot of people don't understand. In The Gay Gene?, Jeffery Satinover summarizes his article similarly. From the article, what's key is to know what, and how little, "linkage" and "association" really means.

It's a great article more people should read.

And here's another:

There is no "gay gene" NOR predisposition. It is learned over time and reinforced by the ADULTS around the children.

Thus the feminst/rino mom reinforces the girlish behavior of her little boy (who she wishes had been a little girl)

EVERYTHING ELSE is based on Skinner, EXCEPT the politics of where genitals are placed for recreation.

Homosexuality should be put back to sexual "PREFERENCE" untile there can be a true gene test to identify the mythical "gay gene". (along with that unicorn detector)

An excellent summary! 100%
