To the title, no.

In fact, studies with identical twins yield evidence against any such premise.

So the fact that scientists admit that they do not know how the human brain really works convinces you that you know how the human brain really works.

When I was learning to read I really liked the word “gay.”

Too bad it got ruined.

No, some are born melancholic.

If they could find a ‘gay gene’ I guarantee you it would be required teaching to all high school freshman (or third graders.)

The fact that they haven’t found it speaks volumes.

Plain old common sense tells us that if homosexuality were predominantly genetic, it would have been bred out of the gene pool a long time ago.

Also, very few homosexuals are exclusively homosexual. Most of them are bisexual. That clearly implies that they're making a choice.

Faggotry is a behavior, like lying , smoking, reading FR, etc.

Not all behaviors are equal

Behaviors are complex, because human beings are complex, the causes are complex. We are not amoebas that will have the same response to a stimuli. Imprinting would appear to be a big part of faggotry.

Behaviors can be modified.........................

RE: If they could find a ‘gay gene’ I guarantee you it would be required teaching to all high school freshman (or third graders.)

Writer Philip Irvine made this observation:

http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/why-you-cant-be-born-gay/

The laws of evolution and of genetic succession are particularly harsh on any trait that prevents reproduction, so let’s start with a simple formula that paints a stark picture: “One gay man + one gay man = zero gay children.”

Or we can look at the female side of the picture: You can go back maybe 10 generations and assume any fertility rates (number of children per woman) for lesbian and straight women and calculate what would happen. Even a slight difference would cause a homosexual gene to rapidly fade from the population.

On the other hand, if the fertility rates were the same, how could women be considered lesbians if they were having the same amount of heterosexual sex to produce an equivalent number of children?

Even if a tendency toward homosexuality were genetic, every time that gene expressed itself, it would fall out of the gene pool. Ask any genetics teacher, “Could homosexuality be genetic if there is no mechanism for gays to pass their genes on to children as frequently as straights pass genes on to their children?” While you are at it, propose any percentage of gays in the starting population and any fertility rates for gays and straights, and ask for the mathematical calculations of how rapidly a homosexual gene would die out.

People are born sinful.
Being gay is a sin.

So sure, why not?

Let’s say that it is true that gays are born that way.

What if you could detect that in the fetus prior to birth?

Would the mother be criticized for choosing to have an abortion by the liberals if she made it known she did not want a gay child?

Are Gays Born That Way?
According to the left, yes—”gays” are born that way and cannot change.
But pedophiles who molest children, leaving them scarred for life—well, until pedophilia, like homosexuality, is also made legal, then condoned—pedophiles *can change* so that recidivist child molesters should not be sent to prison where they are butt-pounded themselves until they are cross-eyed.
If we were all perfectly honest, homosexuals could change too—if we didn’t call them gay and instead began sending them to prison again ... where, ironically, they might live happy albeit short lives.
But at least they wouldn’t be driving the rest of us bat**** crazy with their Mary flouncing about, constant whinging and ceaseless demands.

The tendency to be homosexual is a LEARNED behavior, and it has to be applied with enough firmness and incentive to overcome certain inborn traits. An equal or greater amount of firmness and incentive almost always overcomes this set of tendencies. Deprogramming works, every time it is tried seriously.

At some time, perhaps very early in life, the individual gets the idea that the other gender is getting a better deal in life, and begins to factor this into preferences and behavior. Long-established patterns, while they have a strong hold, can be displaced by substitution, and sometimes, it is highly desirable to make the change.

Well, not that I know anything at all about it, just what I've observed from the handful of gay friends that Mrs WBill has, and the double-handful of gays that I've worked with....

I'm in IT, and have had to do forensics on the computers of people being terminated. Probably done a couple of dozen over my career. All of the termin-ees that I had to research were gay, with two (really weird) exceptions. And - this wasn't a question of someone just getting a risqué pic or two in their email, or surfing EBay on company time.... every instance that I researched was egregious and sex-related. Any reasonable person would wonder what possessed these fools to do such things during working hours, on a monitored company network, with a company-owned computer.

Makes me wonder about some sort of impulse-control issue. Whether it's a chemical imbalance, or mental issue, or what, I dunno.

Additionally, there's a much smaller subset of gays that I've observed, who I'd call "Flaming Gay Drama Queen Attention Whores". They're usually the type that show up in "Pride Parade" pics here on FR. IMO, being gay allows them to garner more attention, while still maintaining their social status. If they were able to find another way to get MORE attention - and this is the key, without putting their social status at risk - they'd drop the whole gay thing and move on in a heartbeat.

Again, IMO only - transgenders might be the next evolution of that attention whore mindset, though it's too early to tell.
