Even if it is genetic, God knows that, and He still said “Don’t do it.”
Not that this society would pay any attention to that. Not anymore.

Would that it were true.

Alas, they’re just bent by whatever crap happened to them. So they’ll still be around....especially since its fashionable now.

You got it right and have probably never seen a simple Mendelian progression...

Just think it through and...voila. The Truth.

This could get interesting. Pregnant women choosing abortion after their unborn babies test positive for gay gene? Pass the popcorn.

If feminists couldn’t give up abortion when it was used intentionally to kill girls (gender-selection), homosexuals certainly won’t get to impede women’s “choice”.

The strongest determinant of whether a man has homosexual tendencies is how many older brothers he has.
That means the most likely cause is the mother’s body building up resistance / interference with the masculizing hormones.
Thus, homosexuality linked to brain differences is a biological factor that is independent of genetics.
It suggests a solution, as well, to prevent it in women pregnant with subsequent sons.

Admittedly, that doesn’t do anything to stop the development of homosexual preference in pedophiles’ victims / homosexual abusers’ behavior.

Now the Gays become pro-life.

The study says the choices you make affect some genes, so homosexuals gene differences could be from choices made.

My brother in law is gay. His life has been hell because he is gay. He is six feet four and girls follow him around like puppy dogs. He does not like his position in life but accepts what he is. He was born this way and will die this way. He is not an insane militant. He goes to work as an officer in a bank. The bank values his skills.

When he goes home what he does in bed is his damn business.

They’ve come up with an explanation, which I don’t remember. I think it has to do with the homosexuals helping take care of the hetty’s kids.

I don’t, and the majority of scientists don’t, believe homosexuals are “born that way.” Being homosexual is “in” these days. Your brother-in-law’s choices are making his life h*ll.

THIS! A thousand times THIS! If there is any validity to the claim it is merely the epigenetic response of the body to the choice of it’s master. Perhaps even a defensive response to the perversion of homosexual behavior.

Scientists claim they can predict whether someone is gay or straight with up to 70 per cent accuracy by looking at their DNA.

I'm not impressed. No I am not a mathematician or a statistician, But I do know that a wild guess would be 50% accurate.

Good point; it’ll be interesting to see which “victim group” wins out...

I believe a better test would be, “Were you molested by a pedophile?”. I bet that test would be 90% or better.

No. It doesn't work that way. The genes remain the same. The expression may alter because of fetal environment - proven in animal studies and some human studies that higher levels of estrogen along with a defective estrogen sensitivity will “feminize” a male brain.

Some behaviors, like a learned stress reaction will cause certain genes to be expressed and others suppressed to accommodate the abnormal stress patterns and reflect them subsequently in hormone production and neural activity in areas like the amygdala.

But making a choice will not change genes. Repeated behaviors will affect how genes are translated.

Fact of the matter is, some homosexuals are born with broken machinery. Some are broken psychologically by abuse.

Yes, you can show that. It was the first of many studies that have shown differences in structure that affect behavior.

Consider recessive traits, methylation heredity, and other mechanisms that allow developmental disorders of all kinds to persistently reappear and revisit your argument.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it so.

Mental retardation is not the result of a curse or punishment for sins of the father. It has a biochemical basis.
