The APA is not a body of physicians which is why they have shifted countless diagnoses and treatments over the years to comply with liberal dogma.
The APA declaring what and what isn’t a gene is largely meaningless until and unless a medical organization like the AMA chimes in.
They aren’t born that way.
But the majority of them are introduced to that behavior when they are still young, effectively rewiring their emotional/physical connections.
That’s why homosexuality is like a cancer. One cell infects others, which in turn infects others.
Gee? Who would've thunk? One of the pillars of the pink mafia just fell over.
Of course, their relentless recruiting and propogandizing didn't help either. Because if it was something people were born with, why would they work so tirelessly to recruit?
A Scientific Look at Sexual Orientation.
My Genes Made Me Do It is one of the most comprehensive and easily-read books in the popular market today on science and homosexuality. It is an objective review of more than 10,000 scientific research papers and publications from all sides of the debate.
In simple and clear terms, by analysis of the science, it shows homosexuality cannot be biologically innate, or fixed - leaving the only other possibility: a complex individual response to familial, peer, social and cultural environments.

If "Gayness" IS genetic, then we must assume that it has survived in the gene pool because of societies stigma against homosexuality, which has forced people with the gay gene into heterosexual relationships, thus allowing them to reproduce the gay gene.
Then wouldn't the entire gay pride/gay marriage movement essentially destroy homosexuality in a few generations?
Actually that’s kind of too bad. Were homosexuality to be proved genetic and that gene could be tested for, one of two beneficial outcomes would likely arise. Either abortions would have to be outlawed to prevent Eugenic elimination of the disorder from society or Homosexuality would be at least greatly reduced.
To be fair, just because there is no single specific gene does not mean that there isn’t a genetic basis for the phenotype.
There is no “black” gene or “Asian” gene or “Jewish” gene, but a child is clearly born black or Asian or Jewish. Rather than a single gene controlling the phenotype (such as with eye color), the genetic basis for ethnicity is a collection of genes that occur with varying degrees of frequency within a demographic.
Likewise, it’s very unlikely that there would be a single gene that would render a child homosexual, but varying combinations of genes could still theoretically predispose a child one way or the other. For example, there are several genes apiece that control the releases of hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, oxytocin, vasopresin, and other hormones that are generally sex-differentiated. Having unusually high or low levels of such hormones could cause sex-role-anomalous behavior.
For example, low testosterone combined with a very sensitive amygdala could make a boy instinctively scared of aggression displays; his fight-or-flight response would prompt him to flee rather than fight, and as such he probably would develop a dislike for toy weapons or sports. He’d be more likely to entertain non-threatening hobbies like arts-and-crafts or musical theater, where these gay predispositions would be socially reinforced.
This just sounds fruity to me ;-)!
My husband has a theory that homosexuality may be caused by a virus
It probably happens in utero, and most likely due to chemical pollutants. BPA in a lot of plastics and just about everywhere in the mother’s environment, and a lot of other estrogenic chemicals. Some of the worst is found in chemical sunscreens, and as you can see yourself by googling toxic and sunscreens, the estrogenic chemicals will cause feminization in the brain and problems in the sex organs in males, cancer and infertility in women.
This feminization effect is most pronounced when the exposure to these chemicals is at a very young age, either in utero or as a young child. Mothers are told to wear sunscreen when pregnant and to slather it on their babies as of 6 months old. It goes from the skin straight into the bloodstream and crosses the placenta.
Baby bottles routinely were made out of BPA plastics in the past 30 years. There is a lot of exposure otherwise as well.
For decades we’ve studied the sexual deformation and changes in sexual behavior in other animals as their habitats have become polluted. We shouldn’t be surprised now at the high rate of both male homosexuality, and babies born with mild deformations of the penis (usually hypospadias or undescended testicles).
I have often heard it said, that people can’t help how they are born. They just trigger on the same sex, and that’s not their fault.
Then you get a 50 year old husband or wife that all of a sudden swaps teams. (if you catch my drift)
If the ‘trigger’ mechanism is genetic, then this shouldn’t happen. At least for males, if you don’t get sparks in the attic, there’s no juice in the basement.
I certainly can’t say this is true in all cases, but the evidence proves beyond a doubt, that the genetic theory is a bogus deflection of guilt in at least some cases. I suspect it is in most cases.
Will every guy grow up to be as virile as Tom Selick? No. That’s okay. It doesn’t mean that those who aren’t, are homosexuals and can’t function on the heterosexual field of play.
HA HA!
From what I’ve read and heard about anecdotally, most male homosexuals were sexually abused as children. If that’s true the only way homosexuals have to reproduce themselves is to molest little boys.
Homosexuality cannot be genetic — otherwise the gene would die out in only a few generations. Homosexuals do not reproduce fast enough to sustain existence.
Homosexuality is likely a chemical problem leading to a mental disorder. That it is likely a medical problem does not absolve its practicioners from responsibility — it merely offers and explanation as to why most people don’t have the temptation, while a some do. Resisting our immoral temptations — whether they are heterosexual, homosexual, theft, or murder — is the responsibility of each individual.

Gay gene or no gay gene doesn’t prove that “gayness” is normal. Down Syndrome people are born that way. Does that make them normal? No denigration of Down Syndrome people intended. It’s just reality.
It’s just ‘queerness’, noone understands it!
In other words, aberrations and perverts are made, not born! Well thanks a lot, Mr and Mrs Frank!
And what an unfortunate name for the author...
