My cherished DrO did one of his doctorate's on this very subject “are homosexuals born or made homosexual?”

He conducted an extensive study of identical twins, ( spanning the globe from Great Britain, Denmark & other European countries to the U.S.) when research was very limited in those days (the late 60’s) and he determined that a significant number of MALE identical twins, did indeed both reach adulthood as homosexuals, even when raised in separate homes.

He found no such evidence among female “lesbians.”

This is NOT to say that all or even a majority of homosexuals are “born that way;” it merely supports a fact that there exists a mutated gene or predisposition ‘somewhere,’ that isn't all that strong.

You must remember that before their massive campaign, homosexuals were in the closet and the majority married and reproducing, while secretly engaging in homosexuality on the side.

Calling themselves GAY, is such a stupid term, because most are not happy at all, unless they're the ones who have elected to “be gay.”

The majority of the ones ‘born homosexual’ would much rather be heterosexual.

I appreciate the mention. I don’t want to characterize the homosexuals I’ve met as being sorry. I have known one that was and I believe others to be.

You do touch on something I’ve noticed, and I use it as evidence that they are not happy. The ones that act out in public and make big demands on heterosexuals in the community, don’t seem happy.

They seem quite unhappy and desirous of taking it out on those they can. They are sometimes openly hostile to straight people. This isn’t normal. There’s a conflict going on in them.

Statistically significant is not a bad measure, but also doesn’t necessarily even mean that it would be recognizable to the normal observer. So, this article pointing out somewhere between 5-11 percent could be significant. It doesn’t, however, begin to approach genetic typology as we have with race. Twins born of black African American parents are going to be black.

The assumption is that identical DNA would ALL be the same. That they are NOT the same argues against genetic determinism and must turn toward either an ‘influence’.

But I can find an ‘influence’ in tallness for the playing of basketball.

You are forgetting about epigenetics. It is provable that environmental factors can induce heritable traits transmitted via messenger RNA. Now recall that G_d punishes bad behavior to the fourth generation.

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Interesting, isn't it?
