What difference does it make if it’s “genetic”?

I mean, obviously it isn’t, but if proof that it was were published tomorrow, it wouldn’t change any opinions I hold, not even a little bit.

Why does this keep coming up?

If it was genetic, it would lead to the argument that sexual orientation was an immutable characteristic like skin color, which is regarded as a prohibited basis for discrimination under law. I think they’ll get there anyway based on equal protection jurisprudence. But that’s what the pro gay rights folks were hoping for.

This researcher better be ready for a shi*storm from gays. They don’t want to hear this.

1) If it's genetic it takes a load of blame and personal responsibility off the shoulders of homosexuals.

2) If it's genetic and not developmental then homosexuals are good to go to be around and raise children, join the Scouts, serve in the military, be teachers, be featured in movies and TV shows, etc.
